Where do I find my Quaderno API Key and URL?

Log in to your Quaderno account. Your **API URL** is simply your domain up top in the browser bar (e.g., `https://mycompany.quadernoapp.com`). To get the **API Key**, navigate to **Settings** > **API Keys** (or Developers), and copy your private key. Do not share this key as it carries full access. Paste both credentials below.

Can it calculate exact taxes dynamically before a sale?

Yes! Use the `calculate_taxes` tool and just provide the AI with a country code, postal code, and base amount. Quaderno's world-class engine evaluates real-time location-based tax nuances (VAT, GST) and returns the exact fraction needed.

Can I draft custom test invoices natively in chat?

Absolutely. You can use `create_transaction`. Instruct your agent to format a JSON array with products and amounts, linking to a specific `contact_id`. The server submits this array to Quaderno and records the fully realized transaction safely.

Will deleting a contact via the AI remove them permanently?

Yes. The `delete_contact` operation relies heavily on standard destructive API instructions. Running this means the contact is gone entirely from the Quaderno dashboard. Always review deletion queries cautiously before approving execution.
