FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI update audit results?

    No. The AI can only read existing reports and supplier data. You must update records in your primary system.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete a supplier?

    No. This MCP is read-only for your supplier and audit data.

  • 03

    Does the AI see all my supplier data?

    The AI only sees the data it can access through the provided tools. It cannot see data from other unconnected systems.

  • 04

    Can I ask for a comparison between two vendors?

    Yes. Once the AI has pulled the data for both suppliers, it can compare their audit histories for you.

  • 05

    How does the AI handle missing audit reports?

    If no audit exists for a supplier, the AI will report that no records were found.
