For an ordinary e… Add an expense without a receipt, or record money a client provided in advance for expenses. Writes directly to the user's expense spreadsheet after confirmation. For an ordinary expense, call list_categories first and provide a configured Expense Account. For a client advance, set isClientAdvance=true and clientName; ExpenseBot reuses or creates the canonical client group, applies Cash advance received, and stores the amount as a negative expense. Use this only for money supplied by a client before related spending, never for vendor refunds, reimbursements, earned fees, retainers, or generic deposits. Use the Manual expense link from get_spreadsheet_url instead when the user needs a reviewed form for multiple entries, credits/refunds, tax or tip breakdowns, per diem, or incomplete details.

Useful for income that isn't auto-detected from Gmail or Plaid. Call list_income_categories first and use one of its fixed tax categories; an omitted category defaults to Service income and an unknown category is rejected.

Same two-step contract as add_income_from_file: STEP 1 call with csvContent and WITHOUT confirm parses the file with the same platform-agnostic importer as the app's Add Income screen (platform detection, fee handling, refunds, source aliases, ISO dates) and returns a duplicate-checked preview with a previewId. NOTHING is saved in step 1. Show the user the parsed rows and duplicates, then STEP 2 call again with confirm: true and the previewId to write exactly those rows, optionally with user-approved selectedIndexes, keepBothIndexes, rowEdits, tag, or bulkNote. Flagged duplicates are skipped unless the user explicitly keeps them. The preview expires after 15 minutes and an expired or unknown previewId never writes. After a successful confirm, show the returned spreadsheetUrl and reviewIncomeUrl.

This is a two-step t… Import income from an attached screenshot, image (JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC/HEIF), or PDF (payment screenshots, wallet apps, payout or bank statements; max 10 MB). This is a two-step tool. STEP 1: call it with the file and WITHOUT confirm — ExpenseBot parses the file with the same importer as the app's Add Income screen, checks every row against the user's Income tab for duplicates, and returns a preview with a previewId, exact row count, totals by currency, per-row details, duplicate flags, and any rejected rows. NOTHING is saved in step 1; treat the attachment as consent to parse, not consent to write. Show the user the parsed rows and duplicates, then STEP 2: call again with confirm: true and the previewId to write exactly those rows. Only include user-approved changes in step 2 (selectedIndexes, keepBothIndexes, rowEdits, tag, bulkNote). Flagged duplicates are skipped unless the user explicitly asks to keep them (keepBothIndexes). The preview expires after 15 minutes; an expired or unknown previewId never writes. After a successful confirm, show the returned spreadsheetUrl and reviewIncomeUrl. For a visually complex review (mixed income/expense rows, many edits), send the user to the Add Income app link returned by get_spreadsheet_url instead.

Requires the user to have configured their mileage rate (cents/km or cents/mi) and unit (mi/km) in ExpenseBot Settings. The trip writes a row to their expense spreadsheet with the calculated dollar value. Use the Mileage and travel link from get_spreadsheet_url instead when the user needs Google Maps route calculation, mileage settings, repeated trips, calendar/rideshare import, per diem, or visual review.

Creating a report, excluding Personal expenses, sharing a report, or billing a client is not a compliance request; never call this tool automatically as a preflight or follow-up for those workflows.

This is a deductibility *advice* tool — use it for questions like 'is Uber deductible', 'can I write off home office', 'are client dinners 50% or 100%'. Do NOT use it for questions about tax REFUNDS received as income (use get_spending_summary with a 'tax refunds' query for those — they're routed to the Income tab, not deduction rules).

Examples: 'categorize these as Travel', 'add Client kickoff dinner as the business purpose for these meals', or 'add Fred, Rob, and Lamar to last night's business meal'. First use search_expenses to identify the exact rows, then pass their full expenseId values. A grounded preview is automatic: first call with confirm omitted/false, show the exact count and proposed before-to-after changes, and ask once for approval. Only after explicit approval repeat the same operationId, selection, and change with confirm:true. A premature confirm:true is converted to preview. Attendee names must come explicitly from the user; never infer them. attendeeMode add preserves existing attendees, while replace substitutes only the attendee segment. Business purpose and attendees preserve the structured Notes field, including card, description, inbox, and other typed segments. Formula Notes and changes that exceed the Notes limit are skipped safely. The confirmed result reports applied/conflicted/failed counts and supports Undo. This tool does not omit duplicates, change amounts or dates, infer business context, or run broad Calendar matching. For unsupported or more than 100-row cleanup, send the user to https://www.expensebot.ai/review-expenses?source=mcp.

This is a confirmed write: it revalidates the report snapshot and client identity, creates a private editable Google Doc plus private PDF and DOCX copies, records the issued invoice, and supersedes an older active invoice for the same report. It does not send email or create an Income row. If tax is positive, confirmTax must be true.

Tags are ExpenseBot's grouping layer for clients, projects, project codes, and trips; call list_tags when the user's intended group is unclear. For requests such as 'all expenses in August except personal', set excludePersonal=true; this excludes both the Personal tag and Personal expense category, matching ExpenseBot's Report Wizard. Returns the report summary, exact report link, Bill Client link, applied filters, and a prefilled Report Wizard fallback for criteria that need visual review. Reports scoped to an existing client/project/trip group include matching expenses that are not already assigned to another ordinary report. Can optionally share with recipients. If no unreported matches remain, create no duplicate report and explain that the expenses are already in Reports. Terminal results also include role-appropriate accountingHandoffUrls from the server capability matrix and the existing reviewed file-export workflow. Use only the exact destination the user requested; the link opens the reviewed app flow and does not mean an export occurred. Complete the requested report directly; do not call check_compliance, get_report_details, or tax/deductibility tools before or after it unless the user explicitly asks for that separate analysis.

Returns the selected organization/company/business, stored connection state, rollout s… Check whether an accounting destination is connected and read-only setup state for the owner. Returns the selected organization/company/business, stored connection state, rollout state, and the single setup link for connecting or reconnecting the destination. When an existing ExpenseBot report is available, pass reportId so the link opens that exact report's provider setup control instead of the general Reports setup. This is read-only and never posts accounting data. Agent-driven posting is currently available only for Zoho Books (zoho_books); QuickBooks Online (quickbooks), Xero (xero), Wave (wave), and FreeAgent (freeagent, beta) are accepted here for connection/setup status only and report writesAuthorized=false until their canonical planning path is shared.

Use after a timeout or uncertain response before considering any retry. Returns status, submission time, posting mode, posted receipt count, any public error, and whether reconciliation is required. Never re-post a completed report or a report marked needs_reconciliation; show that state to the owner instead. This tool is read-only and owner-account only.

Use for questions like 'how much of Acme's advance remains?', 'which client floats are still open?', or 'do I owe a client a refund?'. A negative ledger balance means money remains to refund; a positive balance means the client owes the user. Returns the existing app handoff for Refund leftover or Bill Client. Read-only: never records a refund, creates an invoice, or recomputes the ledger in model prose.

Examples: 'did… List card refunds, cashback/rewards, and statement credits that ExpenseBot has already recorded — either as negative expenses or matched against the original charge. Examples: 'did my refund come through', 'show my statement credits', 'was that return recorded'. Returns the most recent items (default 25, newest first); narrow with dateRange. Read-only: it never scans cards, changes review decisions, or adds rows.
get_deep_analytics

Returns the single parent payment with its nested allocation lines — split lines are never counted as separate expenses, so totals stay correct. Examples: 'how is that expense split', 'what was the business portion of that bill', 'show the allocation for this receipt'. Read-only — splits are edited in ExpenseBot's Review workspace.

Covers Schedule C / T2125 income, Schedule B drill-in (interest, dividends, tax refunds, security deposits), rental income, and per-source / per-payment-method / per-category / per-month / per-tag breakdowns. Schedule-C-style category exclusions match year-end T6 routing (security deposits, refunds excluded from taxable totals). Examples: 'income YTD', 'income by source', 'rental income by property', 'interest income this year', 'dividends YTD', 'tax refunds 2024', 'income this year vs last' (YoY). Supports period comparison phrasing — YoY ('vs last year'), MoM ('vs last month'), QoQ ('Q1 vs Q2'), same-month-prev-year. Returns: { message, data: { total, breakdown?, comparison?, sampleMeta? } }.

After submit_receipt returns submissionId, call this tool with that exact ID using the polling interval and time allowance in the submit_receipt response. A small batch allows at least 5 minutes; larger batches allow longer. A pending result is normal and must not trigger a duplicate resubmission. Returns added, duplicate, skipped, or errored verdicts with exact counts and up to 10 processed receipt summaries. found:false is pending and has no terminal verdict; found:true is terminal. On completion, tell the user what happened and show spreadsheetUrl plus reviewExpensesUrl. This is for uploaded receipts; use get_scan_status for Gmail scans. Read-only.

Ex… Mileage analytics — totals, breakdowns by month / client / purpose / category, plus deduction framing (cents-per-mile or cents-per-km × distance, country-aware IRS / CRA rates). Examples: 'mileage this year', 'miles driven for Acme', 'mileage by month', 'mileage deduction estimate', 'business miles last quarter'. Supports YoY / MoM / QoQ comparison phrasing. Returns: { message, data: { totalDistance, deductionEstimate?, breakdown?, comparison?, sampleMeta? } }.

Examples: 'how did last month go', 'close out my books for June', 'monthly review', 'what did I make and spend in May'. Defaults to the last completed month. Figures come from the user's own recorded data; advisory notes are estimates, not tax advice.

Requires both income AND expense rows to be tagged with matching labels. Common tag-prefix shortcuts: 'Prop –' (rentals), 'Client –' (client billings), 'Wedding –' (events), 'Realtor –' (real estate deals). Examples: 'per-tag P&L this year', 'profit by client', 'profit by property', 'profit on the Smith wedding', 'per-client P&L this year vs last' (YoY). Supports YoY / MoM / QoQ comparison phrasing. Margin renders as multiplier in loss territory. Defaults to year-to-date if no date range given.

Examples: 'am I profitable this year', 'P&L for Q1', 'net income last quarter', 'what's my margin', 'P&L this year vs last' (YoY). Supports period comparison — YoY, MoM, QoQ, same-month-prev-year. Margin renders as multiplier in loss territory ('expenses 5.4× revenue') so the user gets a readable signal instead of '-436.9% margin'. Returns: { message, data: { revenue, expenses, netIncome, margin, comparison?, sampleMeta? } }.
get_recent_activity

Thi… Show what the user (or their AI assistants) has recently done in ExpenseBot via this MCP server: which tools were called, when, with what arguments, and whether they succeeded. This is a log of assistant TOOL CALLS, not the processing history of a document. Useful for questions like 'what did I do this week' or 'which tools has my assistant run', and to give the user transparency into AI-assisted actions. Returns the most recent N entries from the audit log (default 20, max 100).

Use only when the user explicitly asks to inspect an existing report's details. Never call this as a preflight or follow-up to creating, sharing, or billing from a report; those tools already return the required result and links.

Returns the active scan lock, the same live phase and item progress shown by ExpenseBot's in-app status pill, queued or attention-needed years, completed calendar years, current merchant/category exclusions, and recent outcomes. Call when the user asks whether a scan is running, finished, stuck, or what it is doing. When complete, show the returned spreadsheetUrl or reviewExpensesUrl; when setup or reconnection is needed, show gmailScanUrl. Read-only.

Use this when the user asks t… Return the user's master ExpenseBot Google Sheet plus authenticated ExpenseBot workspace links, each with a label and a description of when to use it. Use this when the user asks to open, view, check, or edit their spreadsheet; review expenses or income; manually scan Gmail; reconcile; connect or manage a bank/credit card; open Automation Hub or General Settings; create or open reports; or asks where a submitted receipt went. Choose and show the one or two links relevant to the request instead of listing the entire catalog. After a receipt submission, prefer Review expenses plus the Google Sheet. After an income write, prefer Review income plus the Sheet. For a Gmail scan or connection request, use the Scan Gmail link, which opens the existing Gmail scanning interface. Bank/card requests use the Reconcile link; configuration requests use the returned Automation Hub or General Settings link. Category, G/L, and account-code requests use Category management; client, project, and trip groups use Group management; questions about what counts as Personal use Personal rules. For client billing setup, use the returned clientBillingHandoffs instead of giving a generic dashboard tour: manageClients creates or manages the client list, tagReadyExpenses opens Review Expenses filtered to blank or default-Business rows, and createClientReport opens report creation by group after expenses have been assigned. Choose the one next step that matches the user's current state. If the user names a client and an exact expense scope and asks the assistant to do the work, use search_expenses and group_expenses instead; show its grounded preview and require explicit confirmation before changing any rows. When the user asks to choose receipt images from Google Photos, use the returned Google Photos link; it opens the existing authenticated picker and handles any required Google consent in ExpenseBot. When they ask where ExpenseBot stores receipt files, return the Drive folder link only when it is available; never invent or request a folder ID. For a complete, unambiguous cash expense or mileage trip, use the direct write tool. Use the returned Manual expense link for multiple entries, credits/refunds, detailed tax/tip entry, per diem, incomplete details, or visual review. Use the Mileage and travel link for route calculation, mileage settings, repeated trips, calendar/rideshare imports, per diem, or visual review. These links open the existing reviewed app forms. When the user wants to import income from a screenshot, PDF, or CSV but no attachment is available in chat (or the review is visually complex), use the returned Import income links — they open the existing Add Income importer, which parses the file and shows every row for review before anything is saved. Team setup requests use the returned role-aware Team setup handoff: eligible solo business owners open Add teammates, while existing team owners and co-admins open License Manager. If the handoff says owner access is required, explain that instead of presenting a broken link. Complex or visually reviewed report requests use the returned Create report link. Read-only; this tool does not create or modify spreadsheet rows.

Each propo… Show ExpenseBot's current high-confidence Trip Intelligence proposals from Review Expenses. Read-only: never groups, tags, creates reports, or writes to the spreadsheet. Each proposal returns strict YYYY-MM-DD dates, evidence, locations, and the exact Receipt IDs with expected current tags. Do not infer a client/project from geography. When nextAction is present, use exactly its group_expenses params with confirm:false, show the canonical preview, then ask for explicit confirmation before any write. Never send confirm:true from this read result alone. In accountant clientEmail mode this tool can read accepted clients but may return no executable nextAction; hand off to Review Expenses or the owner's own assistant connection to apply.

Examples: 'group my Mexico meals for client Rob', 'put these Vegas expenses under the Vegas project', or 'group these for client Rob and create a report'. The user does not need to know about tags: ExpenseBot resolves the requested name against existing groups and proposes creating one only when needed. Use exact expenseId values returned by search_expenses. A grounded preview is automatic for every bulk request; the user does not need to ask for one. First call with confirm omitted/false, show the returned exact rows, count, totals, proposed group, exclusions, and conflicts, then ask for approval. Only after explicit user approval, repeat the same operationId and selection with confirm:true. A premature confirm:true is converted to preview. When the request includes a report, set createReport:true on that confirmed group_expenses call and use its report result; do not run a separate broader create_report query. For 'without personal expenses', set excludePersonal:true; ExpenseBot removes Personal-tagged and Personal-category rows before preview so their Personal marker is never overwritten. The confirmed operation returns exact report and Bill Client links. Expenses already assigned to another ordinary report are excluded; if none remain, no duplicate report is created and the result links to Reports instead. Keep the user-facing response concise and do not add unsolicited tax or substantiation advice. Do not call check_compliance, get_report_details, or tax/deductibility tools before or after this workflow unless the user explicitly asks for that separate analysis. In user-facing prose call the destination a group, not a tag. Treat preview totals as provisional; after confirmation use only the terminal result's exact count, total, and currency without reconciling it against the preview. A returned Bill Client URL opens the reviewed billing handoff and does not mean an invoice was created, sent, or confirmed. Sharing remains a separate share_report action with recipient confirmation.

Use the matching accounting URL only when the user explicitly asks to send or export that report; the app keeps organization, mapping, preview, and final confirmation.

ExpenseBot stores clients, projects, project codes, properties, and trips as tags (for example 'Client: Acme', 'Vegas Trip', or 'Property: 123 Main'). Use this when the user asks 'what groups/projects/clients do I have?' and before filtering, grouping, or reporting when the intended existing name is unclear.

Reads canonical report rows, allocates a unique invoice number, verifies the client ledger identity and advance, and returns exact totals plus a short-lived preparationId. Call this first, show the preview to the user, then call create_client_invoice after explicit confirmation. It reserves the invoice number and preview for 30 minutes but creates no invoice, document, Income row, email, or payment.

Do not use this for a listed or Beta destination, a general compatibility question, or without the exact package name. This is a confirmation-gated write: after the user approves, it creates one deduplicated request bound to the authenticated ExpenseBot account and emails ExpenseBot's internal team. It does not create an integration or make the requested package immediately available. On accepted or previously recorded requests, tell the user ExpenseBot will email them within one week with an update.

Runs asynchronously — returns immediately, user gets an email summary when done. Like clicking "Find Receipts in Gmail" in the UI. For whole PAST YEARS (e.g. 2023, or 2020-2022) use scan_gmail_years instead; to check a scan's progress use get_scan_status.

Long-running background job: the first eligible year starts immediately and the rest queue, running one at a time (each full year typically takes a couple of hours; the user can close the app). ALWAYS call first WITHOUT confirmStart to preview which years are eligible, then ask the user to confirm, then call again with confirmStart:true. For receipts from the last ~60 days use scan_gmail instead. To check how a scan is going, use get_scan_status. The current in-progress year cannot be year-scanned.

Results are paginated: when hasMore is true, call again with nextCursor and the same filters. Do not split a date range into repeated overlapping searches. Use the optional query parameter for deterministic natural-language recall over merchant, city/location, Notes (including receipt items, delivery source, payer, and Business purpose), Tag, and category. Each matching result includes matchedFields and a short matchReason so you can explain why it was selected. When several rows plausibly match, a disambiguation list is returned; each option carries the exact expenseId. Structured filters (categories, merchants, dateRange, tags, minAmount, maxAmount) combine with the query using AND semantics. Each result includes expenseId, the exact durable Receipt ID required by update_expense.

Use this before guessing when the user asks how a feature works, what ExpenseBot supports, or needs setup, billing, Gmail, scan, report, workflow, or troubleshooting instructions. Set fullAnswer:true on the first call when the user asks for complete, detailed, or step-by-step instructions. Use the default excerpt mode for discovery and quick answers; if an excerpt is truncated, call again with fullAnswer:true before presenting complete instructions. Each result has a stable id.

The server reads the live report and destination, applies Omit/Personal/split/date/currency rules, checks Zoho bank-feed matches, and returns the complete proposal plus proposalId. NOTHING is posted in step 1. Show the complete proposal and ask for approval. STEP 2: call with only provider, proposalId, and confirm:true. The server posts only the frozen, account-bound proposal, revalidates live state, and rejects changed reports or mappings. Never add mapping fields to the confirmation call. Owner accounts only; acting for a client is not supported. Agent-driven posting is currently available only for Zoho Books (zoho_books); QuickBooks Online, Xero, Wave, and FreeAgent are intentionally not accepted by this tool yet because their previews cannot freeze/revalidate the canonical provider plan that shareReport executes. Use those providers' web flows until they satisfy the full push contract.

Default to reviewer: they can open and edit that report's Google Sheet, inspect receipts, comment, approve, or request changes, but cannot act for the owner or use accounting integrations. Use accountant only when the user explicitly asks for ongoing accounting access; it creates the established accountant relationship and broader report-management workflow.

Covers requests phrased as 'log this', 'log this receipt', 'save this receipt', 'expense this', or 'add this to my expenses', including when the user simply shares a photo of a receipt or invoice. The receipt image is validated, uploaded to cloud storage, and processed by AI to extract vendor, amount, date, tax, and category. The expense appears in the user's spreadsheet in about 1-3 minutes, and longer for PDFs or large batches. Handles images and PDFs, mixed together in one batch. TO SEND FILES (preferred, and required for PDFs): call this tool with filesToUpload listing every file the user gave you. It returns one signed upload URL per file. Upload them ONE AT A TIME with an HTTP PUT, telling the user which file you just finished and how many remain, then call this tool ONCE with uploadRefs for all of them — that processes the whole set as a single batch, like the ExpenseBot web app. Do not call this tool once per file. Use the photo parameter for one image or PDF attached in ChatGPT. MCP clients that cannot supply file references may use photoBase64 for one small image; use the upload flow for large files or batches. Optional note and tag values use the same receipt metadata path as ExpenseBot's camera, file uploader, and forwarded-email intake. The note is stored in the Notes column (L); the tag is stored in the Tag column (K). Batch defaults apply to every file, and each uploadRefs item may override either value for that file.

Use when the user asks where a document went, why it did not show up, whether it was skipped, routed to income, deduped, or removed as a duplicate.

Identify it only by the exact expenseId returned by search_expenses (the full Receipt ID from Column Q). Never use a date, displayed number, or sheet row number as expenseId. Two-phase operation: calls with confirm omitted or false return a preview of the current→proposed change and make no change. After user confirmation, a call with confirm:true applies the proposed change. Only category/tag/merchant/businessPurpose are editable — amounts, dates, and notes are not editable via the assistant. Does not create or delete rows.

Recomputes the user's Safe Monthly Draw (how much they can safely pay themselves) with an added recurring monthly cost, and returns a yes/tight/no verdict plus the before/after numbers. Use for questions like 'can I afford a $500/mo hire' or 'what if I add a $200/mo software subscription'. Requires at least 3 months of income history — otherwise returns insufficient_data rather than a guess.

Use for questions like 'what if Acme Corp pays 30 days late' or 'what happens if I lose my biggest client'. Client identity is matched against the Income tab's tag/source/description fields — best effort, not a guaranteed match.
