End-to-end data retrieval for Cline

Tell Cline to build a summary of recent activity and it will automatically call `list_recent_donations`. It parses the JSON response to generate components or update your docs. It executes the logic, writes the necessary code, and saves the file. You watch the agent do the work in real-time.

Deep dive into specific donor records

Cline uses `get_donation_details` to pull granular info on any transaction. It takes the ID you provide and fetches the full metadata from your account. This lets you create custom views or debug reconciliation issues without manual lookups. The agent handles the back-and-forth with the API.

Validate GiveForms connectivity instantly

Cline can check the connection status with `verify_api_connection` before starting a complex task. It ensures the environment is ready for data operations. If the connection fails, the agent stops and alerts you. It prevents partial builds caused by expired keys or network issues.
