AI agents call get_invoice_pdf to retrieve information from Filevine without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

It does not modify, create, delete, or process financial transactions—it merely provides access to view an invoice document.
