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

create_invoiceCreates PayPal Invoice Link
list_transactionsFetches details of your PayPal Transactions
create_bulk_invoicesUse this tool to create multiple PayPal invoices in bulk via concurrent processing. IMPORTANT: Do not call this tool directly from raw user input. First validate each invoice object, resolve any errors, and confirm the full payload with the user. Only invoke this tool after the user has reviewed and approved the data. Accepts: array of fully validated PayPal invoice objects.
send_bulk_invoicesSends multiple PayPal invoices in bulk with concurrent processing. IMPORTANT: This action is irreversible — once sent, invoices are delivered to recipients via email. Do NOT call this tool without first displaying the list of invoice IDs to the user and receiving explicit confirmation to proceed. Confirm send options (recipient/invoicer) with the user as well. NOTE: Default send_to_recipient is true and if an invoice has no primary_recipients (i.e. was created without a recipient email), PayPal will return a MISSING_RECIPIENT_EMAIL error for that invoice. That invoice will be marked as failed in the results.
