CFO Priority Access Implementation

Tools with CFO Priority Access

business_intelligence_tool (v2.0)

- Priority access to all financial metrics - Integration with system health and cost metrics - get_cfo_metrics() method provides comprehensive CFO dashboard

token_calculator_tool_robust

- Priority access to cost tracking and budget management - Critical for capital discipline enforcement - Real-time cost monitoring and alerts

system_health_tool

- Priority access to system performance metrics - Resource utilization monitoring - Critical for infrastructure cost optimization

Implementation Details

Access Control: access_control.priority_access array includes ["cfo", "ceo_agent", "mastermind_prime"]

CFO Priority Flag: cfo_priority: true in registry

Integration: business_intelligence_tool integrates with both system_health_tool and token_calculator_tool for comprehensive metrics
