Validate member eligibility

As a whole team, you can ensure every developer has access to check membership status. The AI client uses `get_member_details` to verify a user’s current point total and program standing before writing any checkout code. Team members can also list out all accounts using `list_loyalty_members`, helping with initial data setup or auditing processes.

Process points transactions

The Copilot Chat agent writes the precise logic for point adjustments. It handles both increasing credit via `award_points_purchase` and decreasing it using `deduct_points`. This keeps your code clean and accurate. Want to simulate a reward? The tool calls for `redeem_reward` can be committed directly into the repository, making testing straightforward.

Manage program lifecycle

You'll never have to switch context to manage loyalty records. Use `enroll_member` within your code base to handle new signups or updates automatically. This keeps your development workflow in one place. The system also lets you check the current ruleset using `get_loyalty_settings`, ensuring that any new feature respects existing business logic.
