Book and check staff availability

The `book_appointment` tool lets you schedule meetings right from the chat, requiring a JSON string of booking details. You can cross-reference this with `get_staff_slots`, letting Copilot confirm open times before committing to a booking. This workflow ensures that every scheduled appointment uses accurate, real-time data pulled directly from Zoho Bookings.

List staff and services across the team

If your team needs context on who works where, use `list_staff`. This tool retrieves all personnel available in your organization. Similarly, running `list_services` gives everyone a single source of truth for all offerings. These tools ensure that any code or documentation Copilot generates uses correct names and IDs pulled from Zoho Bookings.

Review and delete old appointments

Use `list_appointments` to pull a record of every booking your team has made. This is essential for auditing or reporting needs. If an appointment falls through, the agent calls `cancel_appointment`, updating Zoho Bookings and providing immediate confirmation status within VS Code Copilot Chat.
