Can I see the full profile of a CRM lead through the agent?

Yes. The `get_lead_details` tool allows your AI agent to retrieve the comprehensive metadata for any specific lead ID, including contact information, lead source, and custom fields recorded in Zoho CRM.

How do I monitor active deals and their pipeline stages via chat?

Use the `list_crm_deals` tool to retrieve a list of all opportunities. You can then use `get_deal_details` to see the current stage, closing date, and expected revenue for a specific transaction ID.

Is it possible to see my daily assigned tasks in Zoho CRM?

Absolutely. The `list_crm_tasks` tool retrieves all active tasks assigned in your account, helping you audit your daily priorities and sales productivity directly through conversation.
