How do I check if a bill has been paid?
Use the list_clio_bills tool. Your agent will fetch the list of generated bills, which includes their amounts and payment statuses, directly from Clio.

Clio uses OAuth 2.0. You can generate an access token through the Clio developer portal or by creating a private application in your Clio account settings.
