Checking Customer Status Across the Team

The `retrieve_customer` tool pulls specific client details directly into your coding workspace. The entire team uses this same, reliable data source for building features. Developers can write code that validates customer existence and status before running any billing-related logic.

Managing Subscriptions and Plans

Use `list_subscriptions` to see what plans are active. Coupled with `list_plans`, your team can build accurate renewal logic or check if a client is on an outdated pricing tier. This shared configuration ensures every developer works off the same truth regarding Zoho Billing structure.

Fetching Expense and Credit Note Data

The `list_expenses` tool pulls recorded expenses, while `list_credit_notes` handles credit notes. This lets you build reconciliation tools that match actual spending against invoiced amounts. Commit this shared logic to the repo; everyone gets it automatically.
