Jakob WennbergandClaude Fable 5 678f2ccffd feat(mcp): P2 hygiene — honest category suggestions, skill-reference lint, cadence copy (#882)
* feat(mcp): counterparty-tied category suggestions + no_signal (P2-1)

suggest_categories padded every transaction with a company-wide
category-frequency fallback at <=0.5 confidence — an identical four-way
spread on 20+/24 items that agents correctly reported as pure noise
(agent.feedback). Real signal came from memory atoms and query_journal.

- History is now counterparty-keyed: buildMerchantHistory groups past
  categorized transactions by normalized merchant; the engine only
  surfaces history for THIS transaction's merchant, with provenance
  ('Bokförd N gånger tidigare för denna motpart') and occurrence-scaled
  confidence (0.56 at 1x, capped 0.85). No global padding — an empty
  list is the honest answer.
- The MCP tool returns no_signal_transaction_ids for transactions where
  NO source matched, steering agents to investigate (query_journal)
  instead of pattern-matching on unrelated rows.
- Both callers (REST suggest-categories route + MCP tool) share the new
  helpers, so web UI and agents improve together.

* feat(skills): dangling-reference validation in skills:check + fix 10 dangling links (P2-2)

skills:generate/check now fail when an atom SKILL.md links a
references/*.md that does not exist on disk — a dangling pointer ships
a 404 to every agent that follows it (the weekly-booking-check
incident, agent.feedback).

The validator immediately caught 10 live dangling links in 4 atoms,
three distinct flavors:
- filename typo: swedish-asset-accounting/references/depreciaton.md
  renamed to depreciation.md (the link was right, the file misspelled)
- link mismatch: swedish-e-invoicing linked market-providers-pricing.md;
  the file is market-provider-pricing.md (link fixed)
- unauthored plans: single-shareholder-ab-fmb TODOs and reklambyra's
  'planerad utbyggnad' section used resolvable references/ paths for
  files that were never written — rephrased as plans without paths

Seed migration regenerated (4 atoms bumped, renamed reference child).

* docs(events): align agent-feedback review cadence copy (P2-4)

gnubok_feedback replies 'we aggregate signal weekly'; the event-log
handler comment said quarterly. One of them was lying — weekly wins
(the mcp_optimization_plan triage is the living example).

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. OAuth and stdio bridge live alongside the API surface — see app/api/mcp-oauth/ and 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 (currently 36,000 tokens — bumped from 32,000 when top-level Tool.title landed on all tools for Claude Connectors Directory readiness). If the test fires, the right answer is rarely "raise the ceiling" — instead, trim descriptions or leverage gnubok_search_tools (already deployed; tool definitions can defer to it for discovery rather than enumerating in tools/list).

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
