Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Ask it this
Every prompt below is written to be copied as it stands. Each one says which tools it lands on and the mistake it is worded to avoid, because the difference between a useful answer and a confident wrong one is usually a detail the model was never told to check.
Substitute your own service names, months and ids. Read levelfour://filters/costs first if you want the values your data actually contains.
Start here
Using LevelFour, what did we spend in July 2026, and how did that compare
with June?Lands on get-cost-summary with period="2026-07". One completed month and its change on the month before, which is the comparison that is safe to read as a number.
Today's month is partial. A model that compares a four-day month against a full one will report a collapse in spend. Say "July" rather than "this month" when you want a number to hold still.
By question
Longer analyses
The three prompts run a full ordered workflow, not a single call. In Claude Code:
/mcp__levelfour__monthly_bill_review 2026-07
/mcp__levelfour__quarterly_commitment_review
/mcp__levelfour__waste_by_team teamWhat it cannot answer
A model chooses its own tools, so the same question asked twice can take a different route. Expand the tool call in your client to see which ran and with what arguments. That is where the two most common wrong answers are visible: an empty result read as a real zero, and a month-over-month comparison run on a month that is four days old. Reading a result covers the fields that qualify an answer.
