## About DeskTime with LuumenAI

Connect DeskTime with an API key and Luumen can answer questions about where time is going. Who is on which project, what apps were tracked on a given day, how a team's hours break down. When you need a new project spun up or a timer started, Luumen shows the change first and waits for your approval before it writes.

## Example tools

Read-only (8 in total):

- `DESKTIME_GET_ACCOUNT_DETAILS` — Retrieves company account configuration including work schedule and timezone settings.
- `DESKTIME_GET_ALL_COMPANY_EMPLOYEES` — List all employees in the company, including their roles and statuses.
- `DESKTIME_GET_EMPLOYEE` — Retrieve information about a single employee including user info, work settings, and tracking data for a specific date.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does LuumenAI connect to DeskTime?

Authorize once with API token. Luumen lists the scopes each action needs before you approve the connection, and credentials never appear in the chat.

Read actions answer immediately. Anything that writes is shown as a plan and requires approval by default. Administrators configure that per tool.

Every call to DeskTime — read or write, approved or declined — is recorded with the actor, the input, and the result.
