Perplexity

Fetch and process account lists.

The `list_accounts` tool provides a clean, machine-readable list of all accounts. You pipe this output directly into a shell script for filtering or counting records. This works great with other tools like `get_deal`. Your cron job can grab the account list and then loop through it to check associated deal statuses.

Batch retrieve contact details.

Need all contacts? Run `list_contacts` in your CI/CD pipeline. The output is a standard JSON stream you can pipe into another tool for validation or transformation. You might also run this alongside fetching leads using `list_leads`. This lets you validate that every active lead has corresponding contact data.

Check deal and task status.

The `list_deals` tool returns the current state of all opportunities. You can pipe this output into a script that generates a CSV file for external reporting. For follow-up tasks, run `list_tasks`. This lets your automated workflow ensure that every deal has an assigned next action before moving to the next stage.
