What it does

Translates a hire's role into a concrete equipment and license order. The agent reads the role profile, decides which laptop tier, peripherals, and paid seats (design tools, IDE licenses, analytics seats) that person needs, and opens individual tracked tickets so procurement and finance can act on each line item.

When to use it

Use this when hardware and paid software seats are a real cost center and you want role-driven defaults instead of ad-hoc requests. Helps avoid both under-provisioning (hire waits weeks for a license) and over-provisioning (paying for seats nobody uses).

How it works

  1. 1An IT approval event marks a hire ready for equipment.
  2. 2The agent reads the role profile to determine hardware tier and required licenses.
  3. 3It branches on role to build the line-item list (e.g. engineer vs. designer).
  4. 4It opens a procurement ticket per hardware item in Linear.
  5. 5It records the requested paid-license seats in a tracking sheet via custom MCP to the license manager.
  6. 6It posts a consolidated approval thread to the asset-management channel for the budget owner to confirm.
