AI Assistant
Tool Reference
Every tool the EQUIRE AI assistant can invoke from chat, grouped by domain — with availability per mode and which tools require explicit approval.
This page is the canonical inventory of tools the chat assistant can call on your behalf. Each tool is one capability — a query, a calculation, or a mutation. The assistant chooses tools based on your message, the active chat mode, and the web-toggle categories you have enabled.
- Modes — which chat surfaces expose this tool. Deal is per-deal chat, Portfolio is the org-level chat at
/deals and similar, Prospecting is the chat in mandate workspaces.
- Type — Read tools fetch information; Write tools mutate deal, prospect, or task state.
- Approval — a checkmark means the tool prompts Allow / Deny before running. The remaining write tools execute when the relevant chat surface is active and the org-level write access is in place.
For mode behavior and toggle defaults, see Chat modes. For who governs each tool's data and provenance, see Trust and safety.
