Read a period's accounting-tool export status

well_get_period_ledger_export_status
Read-only

Show which of a fiscal period's journal entries are already on the connected accounting tool and which are not, grouped by journal type, checked against the tool's own records. It sends nothing and needs no close run. Use it for a closed month: entries leave draft only when the month closes.

Each tile carries journal_type, entry_count, exported_count and missing_on_connector. missing_on_connector: null means the tool's records were not read, so the state is unknown: never say the entries are there. already_sent: true means every entry is confirmed on the tool.

write_scope says whether Well can post to the tool: available; ungranted (the connection is missing the scope to post: tell the user to reconnect); absent (no accounting tool is connected, or Well cannot send entries to the one connected yet). This read never sends the entries: the push stays behind the export card of the month's close.

Take fiscal_year and fiscal_period from a well_list_period_unmatched_invoices or well_list_periods entry; never derive them from a calendar month yourself.

success: false means the status is UNKNOWN. Never say the entries were sent on a failed read.

When the token authorizes one workspace, call this directly — no workspace call is needed first. When it authorizes several, this read will not guess which one you mean: pass workspace_id on the call.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
fiscal_yearYesThe fiscal year of the period.
workspace_idNoTarget workspace. Omit when the token authorizes one workspace. Required when it authorizes several: this read reports one workspace's own figures and will not choose which.
fiscal_periodYesThe fiscal period, month 1-12.
conversation_idNoThe conversation id returned by the previous Well result, in its meta under well/conversation_id, in its structuredContent, or in its JSON text block. Pass it back on every call in the same conversation, including a call a card makes, so the chosen workspace and the earlier answers still apply. It decides the conversation on its own: nothing the host states about the session replaces it. Omit it only on the first call of a conversation.
workspace_scopeNoRestrict this call to the family: the token's primary workspace plus the company workspaces under it that you are a member of. Unrelated authorized workspaces drop out of the read; row reads merge across the family, while a per-workspace figure still reports exactly one workspace.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
errorNo
tilesYes
successYes
fiscal_yearYes
write_scopeNo
already_sentYes
fiscal_periodYes
connector_slugYes
conversation_idNoThe conversation this result belongs to. Pass it back as the conversation_id argument on every later Well call in the same conversation.
newly_connectedNoTools that connected to this workspace since the last result and that no session was told about yet, oldest first. Present only when at least one tool is new. The connected-line rule says when to tell an entry; when it does, one line per entry, in the person's language: "<name> is connected.". Never fold several entries into one sentence. Each entry comes back once, on one result only: never repeat its line later.
resolved_workspaceNoThe workspace that answered, when the caller named none and the token authorizes several.
conversation_id_noteNoPresent only when the server opened a fresh lane, stating that no choice recorded earlier was read.
conversation_id_sourceNoWhere the conversation id came from: the host's own request meta, the caller's argument, or a fresh lane the server opened.

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, but the description adds real behavioral context: the read is against the tool's own records, it never triggers the push ('the push stays behind the export card of the month's close'), and it decodes failure/sentinel states — missing_on_connector: null means unknown, success: false means status UNKNOWN, already_sent: true means fully confirmed. It also enumerates write_scope values and the reconnect action for 'ungranted'.

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?

Despite its length, the content is front-loaded (purpose and the no-send guarantee first, then field semantics, then failure semantics, then workspace mechanics) and every sentence carries operational weight. The workspace guidance is slightly restated from the parameter schema, which is the only redundancy.

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?

For an open-world, connector-dependent read, the description covers the non-obvious pieces an agent would otherwise get wrong: entry state semantics, unknown-state handling, write_scope decoding, failed-read handling, and identifier sourcing. An output schema exists and return fields are explained in prose, so nothing material is missing.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline would be 3; the description earns more by telling the agent where fiscal_year and fiscal_period must come from (a period-listing call, not a calendar month) and by stating that workspace_id must be supplied when the token covers several workspaces. It does not add anything about conversation_id beyond the schema, so it stops short of a 5.

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 — show which journal entries of a fiscal period are exported to the connected accounting tool, grouped by journal type — and explicitly scopes out what it does not do ('sends nothing and needs no close run'). An agent can distinguish it from list/read siblings like well_list_unposted_journals or well_get_journal_entry_origin 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 Guidelines5/5

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

Names the triggering condition ('Use it for a closed month: entries leave draft only when the month closes') and the required upstream call to source identifiers ('Take fiscal_year and fiscal_period from a well_list_period_unmatched_invoices or well_list_periods entry; never derive them from a calendar month yourself'). It also resolves the workspace decision path (single-workspace token = call directly; multi-workspace = pass workspace_id).

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