Server tool list (32)

Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

analyze_invoiceSubmit one normalized invoice for asynchronous duplicate analysis. Use the returned ID to poll; do not resubmit the same work with a new idempotency key.
get_invoice_statusRetrieve one analysis owned by the caller's organization. Poll until status is COMPLETED or FAILED.
get_invoice_exceptionsRetrieve the agent-readable exception packet for one caller-owned invoice.
create_purchase_orderRegister one customer-provided purchase order as the baseline for AP Match. This stores only the caller's data and never writes to an ERP.
record_receiptRecord a customer-provided goods receipt for a registered purchase order. Use it before a THREE_WAY AP Match; it never updates a warehouse or ERP.
match_invoiceRun a read-only two- or three-way match against one registered purchase order. Supply exactly one purchase-order identifier.
get_invoice_extractionRetrieve canonical fields, OCR confidence, source evidence, and a next action for a submitted invoice.
validate_invoiceRun deterministic required-field, date, and line-total checks before AP routing. This does not create or alter accounting records.
search_invoice_historyFind exact and near matches in the caller's own completed invoice history. Scores are explainable, not a fraud probability.
upsert_vendor_baselineCreate or replace a customer-controlled remittance baseline. Provide a fingerprint, not a raw account number. This is not bank-account ownership verification.
check_remittance_changeCompare submitted fingerprinted remittance details with a customer-controlled vendor baseline. A change requires human out-of-band verification; this is not bank-account ownership verification.
normalize_invoice_linesPrivate preview. Deterministically normalize customer-supplied invoice descriptions, SKUs, and units. It does not invent missing values.
get_invoice_risk_scorePrivate preview. Return the deterministic 0-100 control score, priority band, and named evidence signals for a completed invoice.
extract_purchase_orderPrivate preview. Queue one uploaded customer-owned purchase-order document for structured extraction. Poll with get_purchase_order_extraction.
get_purchase_order_extractionPrivate preview. Get the caller-owned PO extraction status, canonical fields, OCR evidence, and next action.
save_extracted_purchase_orderPrivate preview. Save a completed extraction as a named PO revision before matching or amendment diffing.
diff_purchase_order_amendmentPrivate preview. Compare two saved caller-owned PO revisions and return explicit header, term, and line changes.
preflight_erp_billCheck a proposed NetSuite or QuickBooks vendor bill using customer-supplied record references. This tool never connects to or writes to an ERP.
preflight_subcontractor_invoiceCheck a subcontractor invoice against supplied commitment, retainage, schedule-of-values, work, lien-waiver, and insurance evidence. It does not determine legal validity of documents.
preflight_freight_invoiceCheck a freight invoice against supplied shipment, linehaul, fuel, and accessorial policy data. It does not connect to a TMS or carrier system.
preflight_franchise_invoiceFind exact same-vendor, same-invoice, same-amount duplicates across customer-supplied multi-location history. It never searches another organization’s records.
check_procurement_agent_actionEvaluate a proposed procurement agent action against supplied budget, authority, category, vendor, contract, and approval policy. It never authorizes a payment or vendor-record change.
resolve_vendor_entityResolve customer-supplied vendor names, aliases, addresses, and domains against customer-provided expectations. It is not official verification.
check_vendor_onboardingCheck customer-defined supplier onboarding packet completeness. It does not approve or create a vendor.
check_tax_formCheck W-9 or W-8 form completeness using only a legal name, final four identifier digits, and supplied dates. It is not tax advice or tax-ID verification.
check_vendor_domain_riskCompare a sender email domain with customer-provided approved and prior-domain baselines. Verify changes out of band.
compare_quotesCompare customer-provided vendor quote lines and totals. It never selects or sends a quote.
extract_contract_obligationsFind candidate ISO dates and obligation indicators in supplied contract text. Review results against the source; this is not legal advice.
check_certificate_expiryCheck expiry windows and customer verification flags for supplied certificate metadata. It does not validate certificate authenticity.
match_remittance_adviceMatch a customer-supplied remittance amount and invoice references to the caller's supplied open-invoice baseline. It never posts a payment.
