A document_attachments row is reachable from eight places. A row referenced by none of them is stored, retained for seven years under BFL, and connected to no bookkeeping at all. Nothing surfaced those, so they accumulated: 4 497 across 210 companies, 481 of them in the preceding week. The naive predicate is a trap. Without a mime filter the same query returns 15 806 rows, and 11 309 of those are archived PSD2 bank-API responses that are unlinked by design. Putting them on an orientation surface would hand an agent eleven thousand items of work it must not do, which is worse than showing nothing. So the rule is an allow-list of the mime types an underlag can actually be. Measured on production: application/json was 11 309 of 11 309 PSD2 archive, and pdf/png/jpeg/heic were 0 of 4 495. The split is clean, and an allow-list keeps the next machine-payload format out by default rather than after someone notices it leaking. Two passes, mirroring fetchPurchasesWithoutUnderlag: the indexed column filter first, then eight reference lookups that run only when candidates exist, so a company with none costs exactly one query. The scan cap is set by URL length rather than table size, because every candidate id is echoed back through those eight .in() lookups.

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 (the SDK is called from lib/ai/provider.ts and lib/ai/services/anthropic-family.ts; features such as extensions/general/invoice-inbox/lib/extract-invoice-fields.ts go through getAiService() in lib/ai rather than the SDK directly): 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.
