Can the agent start and stop timers on tasks without me opening GitScrum?

Yes! Use `start_timer` with any task UUID to begin tracking, and `stop_timer` to end it. Only one timer can be active at a time. Use `list_tasks` or `my_today_tasks` first to find the task you want to track. The agent handles the complete flow in seconds.

Can I get a standup summary without attending the meeting?

Absolutely. Use `standup_summary` for the daily overview, `completed_yesterday` for what the team shipped, `standup_blockers` for current impediments, and `team_status` for per-member breakdown. It's your entire standup in 4 quick queries.

Can the agent flag projects that are over budget?

Yes. Use `projects_at_risk` to see all projects approaching or exceeding their budget threshold. Then drill into any project with `budget_overview` for total vs consumed, `budget_burndown` for trend analysis, and `budget_alerts` for active threshold warnings.
