Perplexity

Maintain shared visibility into account status.

The whole team gets the same view of financial health. Developers can automatically check current holdings using `get_account_positions` and verify overall capital via `get_account_balances`. This consistency is key: everyone uses the same standard tools to pull data, reducing errors when managing shared client accounts.

Enforce standardized trade workflows.

Need to execute a trade across multiple team members? Use `place_order` in your code and rely on Copilot Chat's Agent mode. The system also tracks success by allowing calls to `get_order_status`. If something goes wrong, the team can easily call `cancel_order` and confirm it with a status check.

Integrate market rules and user context easily.

Copilot Chat ensures every developer has access to the same knowledge base. You can pull general market information using `get_market_calendar`, so no one misses a holiday or trading window. Furthermore, retrieving the initial setup details with `get_user_profile` helps verify which accounts are active for the team.
