Key Capabilities
Assess Budget Efficiency via Code
Need a dashboard component? Use `assess_budget_efficiency` and let Cline build it. You feed it period data, and the agent writes the necessary code to display ranked channels, suggested budget percentages, and natural language recommendations. It handles the whole stack: fetching the structured output, generating the visualization, and writing the supporting tests.
Calculate Core Metrics for Scripts
`calculate_cac_metrics` is perfect for scripting. You write a function that accepts spending data as JSON array of {channelName, spendAmount} objects. The agent executes this and returns the blended CAC you need. This lets your code directly consume calculated financial metrics without manual copying.
Track Spend Changes Programmatically
Use `analyze_mom_trend` when writing a script that checks for cost changes. The tool analyzes the Month-over-Month trend for TotalSpend or CAC, spitting out a simple metric: positive means costs are up, negative means they're down. This is ideal for building automated alerts or status checks right into your repository.
