Search Company Records for the Team

The `search_companies` tool lets all developers on the team find company records. You commit the configuration, so everyone gets access to live data right inside Copilot Chat. This means your AI agent can look up details and build lists without needing separate credentials or tools.

Enriching Contacts Across Teams

Team members can use `search_contacts` followed by `enrich_contact`. The shared MCP configuration ensures every developer has the same capability to pull deep lead data. It's a reliable way for your team to validate prospect lists before they even hit a sales sheet.

Tracking Market Interest with ZoomInfo

Copilot Chat lets you run `search_intent` and `list_intent_topics`. Your AI agent can analyze market signals and identify what topics are currently driving interest in your sector. This context helps the team prioritize which leads or features to focus on next.
