CFO Priority Access Implementation

Tools with CFO Priority Access

1. 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

1. token_calculator_tool_robust

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

1. 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

Notes

• Persona Tool: No standalone persona_tool.py found. Persona management is handled by agents/persona_agent.py and integrated into the agent system.
• Base Gen Agent: Moved to agents/utility/base_gen_agent.py (already completed in previous task)
• Tool Expansion: Folder structure supports future expansion with clear categorization
