I noticed nobody here is asking whether the OP is an employee or contractor, that is a very important distinction. (And OP has enough ambiguity and contradiction in their comments that I'm doubting the veracity of their story but I digress...) An employer is required to provide the tools that an employee needs to do their job. With a contractor, it depends on the situation but the default is that they are required to have their own tools. Although the contractee or agency may have their own requirements, such as screenshot surveillance.
