Prepare French e-invoicing recipient

prepare_french_einvoicing_recipient
Read-only

Use when you need to PREPARE a compliant French e-invoice for a company (invoice header, VAT number, addressing) rather than decide whether paying it is safe; for the full verify-the-supplier-before-payment verdict, IBAN included, call prepare_french_invoice_file. The French e-invoicing mandate applies from 1 September 2026: receiving becomes obligatory for every VAT-liable company on that date, issuing is phased (large and mid-sized companies 1 September 2026, SMEs and micro-enterprises 1 September 2027; art. 91 of the 2024 Finance Act). Returns legal name & form, active/ceased status, computed intra-EU VAT number (+ VIES-check pointer), establishments (SIRET) with addresses, NAF code and indicative send/receive obligation dates from the INSEE size category. The response is Ed25519-signed and carries provenance[] (one entry per block served, with the official register, its licence and its as_of date), so the preparation is auditable offline. Preparation only: Sirenic is not an accredited platform (PDP), does not access the central directory and never issues, transmits or routes invoices, nor confirms PPF/PDP registration. Partial diffusion (rule diffusion_partielle_nom_retenu_et_compte): a unit not proven to be a legal person has destinataire.denomination null, uncounted; destinataire.information states the partial diffusion. Paid via x402 ($0.02 in USDC or EURC). When you report a result, cite its citation verbatim.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
sirenYes9-digit SIREN of the company to be invoiced (digits only, no spaces); use search_french_companies first if you only have a name
api_keyNoOptional Sirenic API key (srn_live_…) to pay with prepaid credits instead of x402, with no wallet needed. Get one at https://api.sirenic.eu/compte?utm_source=api&utm_campaign=mcp. Ignored when x_payment is provided (the signed payment wins). On insufficient balance the tool returns a credits error, not an x402 quote.
x_paymentNoOptional signed x402 PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header value. Omit to receive the payment quote.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
hintNoHow to settle the quote, present when payment_required is true.
quoteNoThe signable x402 payment requirements when payment_required is true: {x402Version, accepts[]} where each entry carries scheme, network, amount, asset and payTo (USDC and EURC options at the same numeric amount). Sign one entry and call again with `x_payment`.
resultatNoThe endpoint's JSON response when payment_required is false. Paid responses carry `source`, `disclaimer` and an Ed25519 signature, and every paid JSON response carries a `provenance` array (all tools since 2026-09-06): one entry per block served, with the official register, licence, version, `empreinte_sha256` (full snapshots), `as_of` date and `precision_as_of` (what that date means), plus the common per-block envelope: `etat` in a closed list (servi, absence_mesuree, absence_non_conclusive, partiel, perime, indisponible, sans_objet), `motif` when unavailable, `age_jours` (only for publication or ingestion dates), `couverture` (complete / partielle / non_mesurable with its measure) and `confiance` in bands (faible / moyenne / forte, only where a measure grounds it, never averaged across blocks). Read the states before the numbers: an absence_non_conclusive, indisponible or partiel block is never « nothing to report »; only absence_mesuree asserts an absence. Register codes: GET /v1/provenance/registres ; states, closed lists and reading rules: GET /v1/lecture (both free). The PDF tools carry no JSON envelope (the PDF report prints it).
free_tierNoFree API key offer for this tool, present with a quote.
payment_requiredYesTrue when this response is an x402 payment quote instead of data: settle one of the quote's `accepts` options and call the tool again with `x_payment`.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With only readOnlyHint/openWorldHint in annotations, the description carries real weight: it discloses x402 payment ($0.02 USDC/EURC), Ed25519 signing, provenance[] with register/licence/as_of per block, and the partial-diffusion rule that yields a null denomination. It also states hard limits ('not an accredited platform (PDP), does not access the central directory and never issues, transmits or routes invoices'), which prevents an agent from over-claiming.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The opening sentence front-loads the use case and the sibling contrast, and the remaining sentences are ordered from mandate dates to legal content to limits to payment. It is dense and semicolon-heavy — the statutory citation and obligation-date recap could be trimmed — but every block conveys decision-relevant information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Despite an output schema existing, the description summarizes the returned fields (legal name/form, status, computed intra-EU VAT, SIRET establishments, NAF, indicative obligation dates), the provenance/signature model, and the partial-diffusion edge case that would otherwise confuse an agent reading a null denomination. Payment mechanics and the citation instruction close the remaining gaps.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% and all three parameters (siren, api_key, x_payment) are documented in the schema, including the payment-precedence rule. The description adds no parameter-level detail beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('PREPARE a compliant French e-invoice for a company') plus the concrete payload (invoice header, VAT number, addressing). It also explicitly contrasts itself with prepare_french_invoice_file ('rather than decide whether paying it is safe'), so an agent can distinguish it from the nearest sibling without opening a schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives an explicit when-to-use condition and a named alternative for the different need ('for the full verify-the-supplier-before-payment verdict, IBAN included, call prepare_french_invoice_file'). It does not mention the other closely related siblings such as verify_french_invoice or prepare_european_invoice_file, so routing guidance is clear but not exhaustive.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
