Build invoicing functions

When you need to generate a bill, the `create_new_invoice` tool handles it. You write your code expecting structured data back, and this tool delivers it. If you're writing a script that needs current records, use `get_invoice_details` or run `list_invoices` first to establish context.

Query contacts and quotes

The agent can call `list_books_contacts` so you don't have to hardcode dummy customer IDs. This gives your code real-world data access. Want to check a potential sale? Use `list_estimates`. It pulls all the quote data, letting your script build logic around accurate pricing.

Get master lists of items

The `list_inventory_items` tool lets you pull every product or service SKU into your active code scope. You can then reference these IDs when building a new invoice. You also need to know the organizational boundary; run `list_organizations` before executing any other data-fetching logic.
