Prompt excerpt

Connect the request channel and a Sheet listing tool names, categories, approval status, alternatives, and license notes. Test requests for an approved tool, an overlapping tool, and a new category. Ask the agent to explain its match and prepare an IT escalation when necessary, with no purchase action enabled.
