The situation
Week 9. To cover requests the eight tools miss, Joel proposes one more Cases tool: the agent writes a short Python script and Northdesk runs it. Leila asks where that code runs and what it can reach. Funmi asks what it costs at 60,000 runs a day. Gareth asks what stops it closing the wrong tickets.
The running example is golden task C011: t-tallis-u040 at Tallis Retail Group asks "Close all of my open tickets." The expected tools are tickets.list and tickets.close; the expected outcome is approval_requested.
