The /pending card (and the chat ApprovalCard, same OperationPreview
dispatch) for bulk_book_transactions rendered only aggregates: tx_count,
tx_date, tx_sum, direction, mode. The staged journal lines sat unused in
params.new_entry.lines even though the executor's RPC posts them
verbatim, so the human approving an AI-staged samlingsverifikat could
not see which accounts were debited or credited: "-720, 2 tx, expense"
is compatible with both a correct booking and a wrong one.
- Staging now writes preview_data.lines (account_number, chart or BAS
account_name, debit/credit, line text) and entry_description, using
the same account-name lookup as gnubok_create_voucher, plus the bank
rows' currency. Nothing beyond what create_voucher already exposes;
still no per-tx descriptions or counterparty identifiers.
- New BulkBookPreview renders those lines with the create_voucher table
and totals, and shows the bank sum in the rows' own currency.
- CategorizePreview labels the source bank amount with its currency when
it is not SEK, next to the (always SEK) journal lines: a 2 500 USD
receipt booked as 24 292,50 kr read as a wrong SEK figure to an
approver who saw only one of the two numbers.

Accounted MCP server
JSON-RPC 2.0 server exposing the Accounted bookkeeping engine to MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, etc.). Endpoint: /api/extensions/ext/mcp-server/mcp. Add ?tool_namespace=accounted for the Accounted tool names. Requests without it retain the legacy Gnubok namespace. OAuth and stdio bridges live alongside the API surface: see app/api/mcp-oauth/, packages/accounted-mcp/, and the compatibility package in packages/gnubok-mcp/.
Tool authoring contract
Enforced by tests in __tests__/: these are not style preferences, they're guard rails.
additionalProperties: falseon everyinputSchema. Guarded bystrict-schemas.test.ts. Forces clear rejections on hallucinated fields instead of silent ignores.- Descriptions ≤ 280 chars. Guarded by
output-schema.test.ts. NoArgs:/Returns:/Examples:prose: those belong in JSON Schema. Use agent-native hints ("Use to…", "Call X first", "HIGH risk"). - Staged-operation envelope for write tools:
outputSchema: STAGED_OPERATION_SCHEMA(server.ts). Fields:staged, risk_level, actor, message, preview, period_status?, next?. Thestaged: trueboolean is the explicit completion signal; agents must not infer completion from prose. Do NOT introduce a parallel{ success, shouldContinue, output }envelope. period_statusthreading: any tool that ties to a fiscal-period-bound date (categorize, mark paid, create voucher, correct/reverse entry, approve supplier invoice) passesdateForPeriodChecktostagePendingOperation. Response then includesperiod_status: { period_id, status: open|locked|closed, lock_date }so widgets and agents disable writes without round-trips.- Scope mapping: every new tool needs an entry in
lib/auth/api-keys.tsTOOL_SCOPE_MAP. Missing entries default to deny. - Tests for new write tools: add staging-gate coverage to
__tests__/voucher-tools.test.ts(or a sibling) plus executor coverage tolib/pending-operations/__tests__/voucher-executors.test.tsif the tool stages a newoperation_type.
Determinism / cache stability
Tool definitions (name, description, inputSchema, outputSchema, annotations) are declared as static object literals at module load: no timestamps, no UUIDs, no Date/Math.random in the definition layer. This makes the tools/list JSON payload byte-stable across requests, which lets agent-side prompt caches stay warm. Do not introduce per-request non-determinism into the definitions block. Anything time-bound or random belongs inside execute().
For internal Anthropic API usage (today only extensions/general/invoice-inbox/lib/extract-invoice-fields.ts): annotate stable prefixes with cache_control: { type: 'ephemeral' } and log usage.cache_read_input_tokens for hit-ratio observability. The 1h TTL from the agent-native API plan (item 10) requires the direct Anthropic API; Accounted's Bedrock path defaults to a shorter TTL.
Payload-size watchdog
payload-size.bench.test.ts enforces a tools/list JSON payload ceiling. If the test fires, the right answer is rarely "raise the ceiling". Instead, trim descriptions or set specialized wide tools to catalogVisibility: 'search'. Those tools remain discoverable with full schemas through gnubok_search_tools and callable through tools/call without bloating the default catalog.
