Jakob Wennberg a894af11d0 feat(mcp): tool titles + Connect-with-Claude docs for Connectors Directory readiness (P0-4) (#682)
* feat(mcp): tool titles + Connect-with-Claude docs for Connectors Directory readiness

Add a top-level Tool.title (MCP spec 2025-06-18) to all 92 MCP tools and
flow it through the tools/list serializer for the Claude Connectors
Directory. Trim the ~10 longest tool descriptions toward 180-200 chars
(semantics + agent hints preserved) to partly offset the added bytes, and
raise the payload-size bench ceiling 32K → 36K with headroom reserved for
upcoming Skatteverket tools.

Ship a "Connect with Claude" docs page (OAuth 2.1 connector + npx
gnubok-mcp stdio bridge, sample sandbox prompts, 10-minute reviewer test,
support pointer), wire it into the docs nav, and add a README to the
packages/gnubok-mcp npm bridge. Bump one categorized sandbox business
expense above 4 000 kr so the VAT close-check demo surfaces a high-value
receipt-less expense.

* fix(mcp): restore six spaces lost in the description-trimming pass

Review finding (Greptile P2): the trim deleted single spaces in six tool
descriptions ("Stages foruser", "länkatill", "kundfordran(1510)", …),
producing malformed text in tools/list. All six were pure space deletions
with no token gain — restored verbatim. Swept all 92 descriptions for
residual merge artifacts; the two remaining matches are pre-existing
function-call notation from main.

* docs(compliance): correct BFL citation in seed + mark 4000 kr as app heuristic

Swedish compliance review findings:
- The seed comment cited BFL 5 kap 6§ as requiring verifikat on high-value
  affärshändelser; 6§ governs verifikationens innehåll. Rephrased: BFL 5 kap
  6-7§ require every affärshändelse to be documented — the 4 000 kr cut-off
  is the tool's own heuristic, not a statutory threshold.
- The connect-claude docs read as though 4 000 kr were a legal floor
  (conflatable with the förenklad faktura ceiling, ML 17 kap 26-28§).
  Clarified that BFL requires underlag regardless of amount.

Dismissed as by-design: the gnubok_sk_test_... README placeholders
(standard practice; the prefix schema is already public in llms.txt).

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.tswithNext(), 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
