Zoho

Use this skill for Zoho work through the configured Zoho MCP server. The MCP server owns the exact Zoho app connections, OAuth scopes, tool schemas, and allowed actions.

Official reference: https://www.zoho.com/mcp/

Required Surface

• Use the HybridClaw MCP server configured as zoho.
• Prefer visible MCP tools named zoho__<tool> and follow each tool's schema.
• If the server is configured under a different name, use that namespace only after confirming it is the Zoho MCP server.
• If no Zoho MCP tools are visible, tell the operator to run /mcp list, /mcp status zoho, or /mcp login zoho.
• Do not ask for Zoho OAuth tokens, passwords, cookies, or refresh tokens in chat. Do not use browser login or raw Zoho REST calls for normal skill work.

Setup Guidance

For a new connection, use the Zoho MCP endpoint details from Zoho MCP and store the server in HybridClaw as zoho:

/mcp add zoho {"transport":"http","url":"<zoho-mcp-server-url>","auth":"oauth","enabled":true}
/mcp login zoho
/mcp status zoho

Use sse instead of http only when Zoho's connection details specify SSE.

Default Workflow

1. Identify the Zoho app, object type, record target, and requested action.
2. Start with a read or search tool to resolve exact IDs and current state.
3. For read-only requests, summarize the MCP result with record names, dates, statuses, owners, amounts, links, and IDs needed for follow-up actions.
4. For writes, show the exact target and change, then wait for explicit confirmation before calling the MCP write tool.
5. Execute multi-app workflows one confirmed write step at a time. Stop after the first failed step and report which steps did and did not run.
6. Do not claim a write succeeded until the MCP tool returns a success result.

Task Routing

• CRM and Bigin: leads, contacts, accounts, deals, stages, owners, notes, meetings, and follow-up tasks.
• Desk: ticket lookup, thread summaries, status changes, assignments, and replies.
• Mail, Calendar, and Cliq: searches and summaries are read-only; sending mail, scheduling events, or posting messages requires confirmation.
• Books, Billing, and Expense: read invoices, bills, expenses, payments, and reports; creating invoices or expenses requires confirmation.
• Projects and WorkDrive: task, project, milestone, file, and folder lookup; file moves or task edits require confirmation.
• Creator and other configured apps: follow the MCP tool descriptions and prefer low-risk reads before any record mutation.

Safety Rules

• Treat reads, searches, and report generation as green.
• Treat creates, updates, status changes, assignments, replies, sends, schedule changes, and invoice generation as amber; confirm each operation.
• Treat bulk deletion, permission/admin changes, payment or refund execution, mass messaging, and irreversible accounting changes as unsupported through this skill unless a separate operator-approved procedure exists.
• Preserve user-level Zoho permissions. If MCP returns an OAuth, scope, permission, or login error, ask the operator to run /mcp login zoho or adjust Zoho MCP scopes; do not retry unrelated tools.
• Never expose secrets or bearer tokens in outputs, logs, files, or command arguments.
