Every tool of the Spendesk MCP server, grouped as in Spendesk's permission settings. The server has 62 tools: 36 that read and 26 that act.

Tool is the name the assistant uses to call it; what it does is its label in Spendesk.
Permission is the one to tick when you connect: the assistant only sees the tools your permissions allow. Write permissions are unticked by default.
Role: every tool requires the Controller or Account Owner role in the company it works on.
Can it be undone? — for actions only. Before ticking a write permission, read Assistant actions and safety.
A missing tool usually means a missing permission: see MCP errors and limits.
