3841ab9f54 feat(mcp): bulk-link documents to vouchers in one staged approval (#1411)
gnubok_link_documents_to_vouchers stages up to 300 document-to-verifikat
links as a single pending operation, addressed by voucher_series /
voucher_number / fiscal_year instead of journal_entry_id UUIDs, for bulk
receipt-migration jobs where N separate tools mean N separate approvals.

Staging resolves every row server-side and returns a per-row hit or miss,
so a systematic offset such as a wrong fiscal_year is visible before
anything is approved rather than after N approvals. Only resolved rows
enter the staged operation.

The WORM precondition and the document lookup are shared with the
single-document executor through precheckDocumentLink: a bulk call must
enforce exactly the invariants N single calls would, and a second copy of
a BFL 5 kap 6 § guard is a copy that keeps the old behaviour when the
first is hardened.

A batch that links nothing returns 409 instead of a committed no-op.
Partial skips stay committed, but an approval-gated operation on
räkenskapsinformation must not leave an audit record asserting a run that
changed nothing.

The tool is search-only: a one-off migration tool does not belong in the
default catalog every session pays for in context, and keeping it there
pushed the tools/list projection past the 58.5K token ceiling that
payload-size.bench.test.ts guards.

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.

  1. additionalProperties: false on every inputSchema. Guarded by strict-schemas.test.ts. Forces clear rejections on hallucinated fields instead of silent ignores.
  2. Descriptions ≤ 280 chars. Guarded by output-schema.test.ts. No Args: / Returns: / Examples: prose: those belong in JSON Schema. Use agent-native hints ("Use to…", "Call X first", "HIGH risk").
  3. Staged-operation envelope for write tools: outputSchema: STAGED_OPERATION_SCHEMA (server.ts). Fields: staged, risk_level, actor, message, preview, period_status?, next?. The staged: true boolean is the explicit completion signal; agents must not infer completion from prose. Do NOT introduce a parallel { success, shouldContinue, output } envelope.
  4. period_status threading: any tool that ties to a fiscal-period-bound date (categorize, mark paid, create voucher, correct/reverse entry, approve supplier invoice) passes dateForPeriodCheck to stagePendingOperation. Response then includes period_status: { period_id, status: open|locked|closed, lock_date } so widgets and agents disable writes without round-trips.
  5. Scope mapping: every new tool needs an entry in lib/auth/api-keys.ts TOOL_SCOPE_MAP. Missing entries default to deny.
  6. Tests for new write tools: add staging-gate coverage to __tests__/voucher-tools.test.ts (or a sibling) plus executor coverage to lib/pending-operations/__tests__/voucher-executors.test.ts if the tool stages a new operation_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.

Where things live

  • server.ts: the tools array + JSON-RPC dispatcher
  • tool-result.ts: withNext(), toToolError() response helpers
  • resources/: read-only Accounted:// URIs (active company, period, recent activity, capabilities, attention items, voucher gaps, chart of accounts, VAT treatments)
  • widgets/: inline HTML widgets (receipt-matcher, vat-review)
  • prompts/: slash-command-style prompts
  • skills/: domain-knowledge skill bodies served via gnubok_load_skill
  • __tests__/: strictness guards + per-tool coverage
