The good:

### What it can do

Tools: not known by name. The server needs sign-in before it lists them, and the vendor's documentation doesn't name them, so this is what it says the server can do ([source](https://help.rivo.io/en/articles/13593839-rivo-mcp)), read on 2026-11-01. It may be out of date.
