The ask

Sent verbatim as the prompt. The agent works in a copy of the workspace below and sees nothing else.

Please audit the expense reports waiting for approval before we pay them - Ingrid's email says what she needs, and the policy and trip log are in the folder. Save the list as violations.csv.
