A manager asks their agent: 'List the last 10 high fives.' The agent runs `list_high_fives` and shows them who's been recognized. Then, the manager uses `send_high_five` to send an extra shout-out to a key contributor for going above and beyond. ### The department needs to audit its current goals. An HR professional asks their agent: 'What are our active OKRs and who belongs in the Marketing department?' The agent uses `list_objectives` followed by `list_departments`, giving a full snapshot of structure and targets simultaneously. ### A team member needs to check their progress. An employee asks: 'What are my current objectives for this month?' The agent uses `list_objectives` and returns the specific goals, letting the employee see where they stand without navigating complex internal portals. ### The team needs a quick performance summary. A leader asks: 'Show me the latest check-ins for the whole group.' The agent uses `list_checkins`, pulling up recent submissions and pulse scores so the manager can immediately spot trends or concerns. ## Benefits - Stop leaving your main chat window.
