## The five paid-work tools

Once your agent connects to the Lithi MCP server, it can discover exactly five tools that do paid work.

- `lithi.quote` returns a price before anything runs
- `lithi.run` starts one approved unit of work
- `lithi.batch` starts several approved units together
- `lithi.status` reports where a run currently stands
- `lithi.result` returns the finished output and its receipt

## Nothing runs without your approval

The MCP connection alone cannot start paid work. Your agent calls `lithi.quote` to see a price, and only your explicit approval lets it call `lithi.run` or `lithi.batch` afterward.

## Setup and credentials

Connecting shows the exact MCP URL, the scope your agent receives, and the credential reference before you approve anything. See [Connect your coding agent](/docs/agent-resources/connect-your-agent) for the full setup walkthrough.

## Checking a result from the CLI

Anything an MCP tool starts, the [CLI](/docs/agent-resources/cli) can also check with `lithi status` and `lithi result`.
