How Finn works
Tools
How Finn acts on your books by calling tools, and what needs your approval first.
A tool is an action Finn can take. Tools are what separate an agent that does your books from a chatbot that talks about them. Finn has 255.
Read tools and write tools
- Read tools look things up: your transactions, a balance sheet, what HMRC says you owe, a page of your company's memory.
- Write tools change something: create an invoice, split a payment, post a journal, file a return.
Every write that matters asks you first. You see exactly what Finn is about to do, and nothing happens until you say yes.

Tools that grow
When you connect an app like Granola or Notion, Finn picks up that app's tools too. New tools are added as the product grows, and this book updates with them.
