View Team Pipeline Status

As a team, you can keep an eye on all opportunities by calling `list_deals` or filtering specific stages with `list_leads_by_status`. This gives everyone visibility into the entire sales funnel. If you need to check historical progress for one deal, use `get_lead_timeline`, which shows every touchpoint recorded in Skylink.

Manage and Track Communication

Centralizing communication is key. Use `list_activities` to see a full history of interactions tied to an account. For immediate follow-up, you can create a new item using `create_task`, or check past details with `get_call`. Want to list every contact? Call `list_contacts` and get the data right in your VS Code workspace.

Process Data for Team Reporting

Pulling agent metrics is straightforward. Use `get_agent_performance` to review individual performance stats. You can also retrieve a full log of all past interactions using `list_calls`. When you need specific account details, the `get_account` tool pulls everything from Skylink into your project context.
