Get Core Service Records

The `get_order_details` tool gives everyone the full scope of a specific service order right in their editor. You can cross-reference this with `list_service_accounts` to tie the job back to the correct customer.

Manage Field Staff and Assets

Team members can rely on `list_field_employees` for technician records, or `list_service_equipment` when writing code that handles inventory. This ensures consistent access across the whole repo.

Programmatic Order Updates

Need to change an order status automatically? Use `update_order_status`. By committing this configuration, every developer on the team gains the ability to write code that executes these state changes.
