Manage Tray.io Automations

Need to audit or reference an existing automation? Your team can use the `list_workflows` tool via `.vscode/mcp.json` and get a list of every active workflow in your account. This is critical for new hires. You can then deep-dive into specific process logic using `get_workflow_details`, ensuring everyone writes code against accurate, known processes.

Identify Available Services (MCP Server)

Keep your team on the same page about integrations. The MCP Server exposes `list_available_connectors` so developers know exactly which services—like Slack or Salesforce—are ready to be coded against. This list also includes all integration templates via `list_integration_solutions`, helping prevent redundant work across different repositories.

Audit User and Execution Flow

For compliance, you need to know who did what. The agent can pull details about the logged-in user using `get_authenticated_user` or check execution history with `list_workflow_executions`. This data is crucial for auditing. These tools let your team build robust code that tracks accountability across every automation run.
