Tool Catalog

Every Tool Archie Carries

72 tools across 3 domains. Each one names a piece of accounting work Archie does end to end, from a standards question to a posted journal. Read what it touches before you call it.

Read-only

25

Write

9

Destructive

Read-onlyreads, researches, analyses, or prepares a draft.
Writecreates a draft or starts a run that lands for review, never silently.
Destructivecommits to real records, or revokes. The confirmation contract pauses these for a human.

Each tool's read-only / write / destructive class is declared by the MCP server itself, through the `readOnlyHint` and `destructiveHint` annotations the tool decorators carry. A read-only tool runs freely; a write changes the firm's records or sends something; a destructive write cannot be quietly undone (a posted journal, a committed WorkStream, an approval), so the confirmation contract gates it before every call.
