Read and update a Sivella household: tasks, calendar, budget, reminders, decisions and memory.
Scored across 61 tools
Many families of tools overlap enough to mislead: assign_owner vs propose_task_reassignment vs suggest_task_owner, and schedule_task vs suggest_task_schedule require careful reading, as do five separate budget-read tools (get_ledger_summary, get_budget_outlook, get_last_n_months_summary, get_category_breakdown, list_budget_categories). Descriptions do heavy lifting with explicit 'use this, NOT that' guidance, which helps, but the propose-only vs commits-immediately split running through nearly every write tool is a subtle trap. One description even points at recommend_decision_within_budget, a tool that is not in the set, creating a phantom distinction.
Nearly all names follow snake_case verb_noun (create_task, list_events, propose_task_reassignment, transition_status), with readable and predictable verbs across resources. Minor deviations exist — add_upcoming_expense alongside create_* verbs, and noun-first names like shortlist_options and set_meal_decision — but nothing chaotic. The routine/decision vocabulary (complete_routine_today, skip_routine_today, set_meal_decision) is slightly inconsistent in framing.
61 tools is far past the heavy threshold and forces agents to sift through many near-neighbors to pick one. The domain (tasks, calendar, budget, routines, memory, open items, decisions) is genuinely broad, which justifies depth, but several operations are split into multiple tools (three scheduling/ownership suggestion tools, five budget-read tools) rather than consolidated. This is an over-partitioned surface for a single assistant server.
Coverage is broad — tasks, routines, events, open items, memories, and budgets all have create/read/update paths, and the propose/confirm workflow is well supported by list_pending_changes, confirm_change, and discard_change. However, ledger entries are append-only (record_expense and add_upcoming_expense with no edit/delete counterpart), shared events can only be created or cancelled (no update), and tasks can only be 'dropped' via transition_status rather than deleted. The reference to a nonexistent recommend_decision_within_budget is a dangling dead end for agents following instructions.
Add an upcoming or recurring expense to a ledger. Commits immediately. amount_cents is MINOR units (cents): pass 150000 for 1500.00, never a decimal. The returned amount is in currency units.
Inputs: name (required), category (required), due_date (required), ledger_id (required), +3 more.
THE tool for a plain 'can we afford X?' / 'is X affordable?' / 'do we have room for X?' question — when the user only wants to know whether the money is there (e.g. 'Can we afford a $400 trip right now?'). Use this, NOT recommend_decision_within_budget, for a straight affordability check. Returns verdict (afford / tight / over / no_budget), headroom, and breakdown. Only switch to recommend_decision_within_budget when the user explicitly asks for advice on whether they SHOULD do it ('should we', 'is it worth it', 'is it too tight'). amount_cents is MINOR units (cents): pass 5000 for 50.00. All output amounts are in currency units, not cents.
Inputs: ledger_id (required), amount_cents (required), category.

Add micro-action steps to an existing task. Commits immediately.
Inputs: steps (required), task_id (required), additional_information.

Inputs: items (required).
Propose cancelling a SHARED household event by id — affects everyone and is PERMANENT. Proposes only — awaiting confirmation.
Inputs: event_id (required).
Propose marking a micro-action step done. Proposes only.

Inputs: change_id (required).
Log an explicit savings contribution (CREDIT entry) against a savings goal. Commits immediately. amount_cents is MINOR units (cents): pass 10000 for 100.00, never a decimal. The returned amount is in currency units.

Inputs: summary (required), kind, visibility, assignee_id, +2 more.
Create a reminder notification. Commits immediately. Defaults to reminding you; pass recipient_id to remind another member. Omit deliver_at (or use a past time) to notify now; pass a future ISO datetime to schedule it.
Inputs: title (required), body, priority, deliver_at, +1 more.
Create a recurring routine (chore) or variable recurring decision (e.g. meals). Commits immediately.
Inputs: title (required), kind, end_date, weekdays, +5 more.
Create a household task (optionally with first micro-action steps). Commits immediately; confirm back what you created and don't duplicate an item already in context.

The returned amount is in currency units (e.g. "25.00").
