schwab_restore_credits

Credit a patron's ledger from a BTCPay-settled invoice.

RESTRICTED to the operator — the operator owns the books and is the only party who can issue a manual credit grant. Patrons who believe they paid but never got credits must escalate to the operator's support, who then invokes this tool on their behalf.

Use cases: cold-start vault races during check_payment, ncred delivery hiccups, patrons closing Top-Off sheets before settle, any infrastructure incident that left an invoice settled at BTCPay but uncredited on the operator's ledger.

Idempotent — if the invoice is already credited (in the patron's credited_invoices), returns success with credits_granted=0.

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

No annotations provided, so description fully carries the burden. It discloses the tool is idempotent, restricted to operator, and uses a specific authentication mechanism (dpop_token signed by operator). No contradictions.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Very concise with no wasted words. The description is structured into clear sections: main action, restriction, use cases, and idempotency guarantee. Every sentence earns its place.

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?

Given the output schema exists, the description does not need to explain return values. It covers purpose, restrictions, use cases, and behavioral traits thoroughly. Complete for the tool's complexity.

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 is 3. The description adds value by explaining the dpop_token parameter (kind-27235 Nostr event signed by operator, patron proofs rejected) and the invoice_id parameter (verified and credited). This provides context beyond the schema.

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?

The description clearly states the tool credits a patron's ledger from a BTCPay-settled invoice. It uses specific verb (credit) and resource (patron's ledger), and distinguishes from sibling tools by specifying it is for restoring credits from settled invoices.

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?

Explicitly states it is restricted to the operator, provides specific use cases (cold-start vault races, delivery hiccups, etc.), and instructs patrons to escalate to operator support. This gives clear context on when and who should use the tool.

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