openfinance_list_transactions

Read-onlyIdempotent

Returns transactions for a bank account (BANK or CREDIT type). For CREDIT (credit card) accounts, this is the ONLY way to get itemized transactions (purchases, subscriptions, etc.). Each credit card transaction MAY carry creditCardMetadata.billId pointing at a bill from openfinance_list_credit_card_bills, but this is a per-connector HINT, not authoritative: some connectors (e.g. Nubank) populate it sparsely (many transactions and installments arrive with no billId) or inconsistently (the same payment tagged to more than one bill). Do NOT reconstruct a bill's total by summing transactions by billId — the bill's own totalAmount from openfinance_list_credit_card_bills is the source of truth. CREDIT PENDING vs POSTED varies by connector: where the bank exposes future-dated status:'PENDING' installments, those represent the OPEN bill plus future bills (future months); where it does NOT, only the last closed bill's POSTED items appear until ~closing. Same query, different coverage per bank (upstream). To get a standardized open-bill total / total debt regardless, use openfinance_list_credit_card_bills (open_bill / total_pending_debt). SCHEDULED (future-dated) ROWS: results are ordered by date DESCENDING, and on a card with long installment plans the TOP of the list is the FUTURE — rows dated months ahead are scheduled installments of purchases already made, not new purchases. Every such row is flagged scheduled:true, the response carries scheduled_count and a notice naming the most recent row that actually happened. NEVER read the first row as 'the latest purchase' without checking scheduled. To list only what already happened, pass to = today. Supports from/to date filters (ISO YYYY-MM-DD) and an optional keyword filter via search_queries (case- and accent-insensitive substring match against description and merchant name, OR semantics across multiple terms). When search_queries is set the tool aggregates up to 5000 transactions within from/to before filtering — narrow from/to if truncated:true is returned. PAGINATION: OMIT both page and page_size (the default) to get ALL transactions in the from/to range in one call — the tool auto-paginates the upstream and returns them under a single logical page (page:1, totalPages:1), up to a 5000 ceiling (truncated:true + warning if exceeded, then narrow from/to). Passing page and/or page_size switches to MANUAL pagination: you get one page (page_size items, default 50, max 500; page defaults to 1) with the REAL total/totalPages, so page_size:5 alone returns the first 5 with totalPages telling you how many pages remain. On upstream errors, returns { total:0, results:[], warning, error } instead of throwing. detail controls how much per-row data you get (default 'compact' = slim, cheap). Use detail:'rich' to enrich each row (when the bank connector provides it) with merchantInfo (estabelecimento: businessName/razão social, cnpj, cnae, category — useful for auto-classifying spending) and extra creditCardMetadata fields: billId (a per-connector HINT toward the transaction's bill — sparse/inconsistent on some connectors like Nubank, so do NOT sum by it to get a bill total; use the bill's totalAmount instead), billForecastDate, cardNumber, purchaseDate, payeeMCC, feeType/feeTypeAdditionalInfo, otherCreditsType/otherCreditsAdditionalInfo. billForecastDate ("YYYY-MM") is the counterpart of billId for the OPEN cycle: PENDING transactions have NO billId (the bank only mints it once the bill closes), so this is the only field telling you which bill a pending purchase will land in — its month OFFSET is per-connector (some banks month+1, others month+0), so surface it as-is and do not derive a due date from it. cardNumber (last 4 digits) separates the primary cardholder's charges from an additional card's when several cards share one account_id. Use detail:'raw' to get the FULL untouched Pluggy transaction object (everything Pluggy returns, un-normalized — heaviest, for when you need a field we don't project). 'rich'/'raw' add tokens per row and coverage varies by bank/Open Finance, so keep the default for normal listings. For the card's statement closing/due dates use openfinance_list_accounts (creditData.balanceCloseDate / balanceDueDate). The response opens with an account echo block ({ account_id, bank, name, number, type, item_id }) identifying WHICH account/bank these transactions belong to. When more than one bank is connected, ALWAYS cross-check the echo against the account you intended to query and name the bank when presenting results — never attribute one bank's transactions to another. If total is 0 for a CREDIT account, check the connection health via openfinance_get_item_status — statusDetail.creditCards.isUpdated: false means the credit card sync failed and a force sync (openfinance_force_sync) or reconnection may be needed. May include a provider_incident block when the Open Finance provider has an OPEN incident affecting a connected bank: transactions may come back incomplete or wrong until the provider recovers, and reconnecting does not fix it.

Bulk support: accepts account_ids for batched execution.

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive behavior, and the description adds substantial behavioral context well beyond that: pagination auto-manipulation, scheduled row ordering, upstream error fallback shape, provider_incident behavior, and caution about per-connector differences. No annotation contradiction exists.

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 description is long but the high complexity of the tool justifies much of it. It is mostly structured with clear topics, but it repeats the billId warning and credit-pending caveat in multiple places, so it's not as tightly edited as it could be.

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?

With no output schema, the description supplies essential return-shape expectations: account echo, total/totalPages, scheduled_count, notice, truncated, warning/error, and rich/raw fields. It also covers error behavior and connection-health follow-up, making it highly complete given the complexity.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description carries full responsibility. It explains from/to as ISO YYYY-MM-DD filters, search_queries as case-insensitive substring OR-matching, page/page_size manual vs auto-pagination semantics, detail as compact/rich/raw with row payload details, and account_ids for batched execution. Every parameter is meaningfully covered.

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?

Starts with a specific verb and resource: 'Returns transactions for a bank account.' It further differentiates the tool by noting it is the ONLY way to get itemized credit-card transactions, distinguishing it from the bill and account sibling tools. The scope is unequivocal.

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?

The description is explicit about when to use alternatives: use openfinance_list_credit_card_bills for open-bill totals, openfinance_list_accounts for closing/due dates, and openfinance_get_item_status when credit-card total is 0. It also specifies when pagination should be omitted vs used, providing clear decision rules.

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

A3.9/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

The openfinance_* family is cleanly separated by resource and action, and tricky pairs like list_accounts vs get_account_balance and list_transactions vs list_transactions_by_item are explicitly cross-referenced in descriptions. However, marketplace bundles a large set of sub-actions, and connect/toolkit_info partially overlap on reporting connection state, so a couple of boundaries are fuzzy.

Naming Consistency4/5

The openfinance_* tools consistently follow a verb_resource pattern with snake_case, which is highly predictable. The generic platform tools mostly fit the same style, but marketplace and toolkit_info are noun-only names, and openfinance_provider_status also breaks the verb pattern, so it is not perfectly uniform.

Tool Count3/5

At 25 tools, this server falls at the heavy end of the borderline range. The many openfinance_* list/get tools are individually justified for the financial domain, but adding platform tools like marketplace, connect, toolkit_info, and show_version makes the overall surface larger than a minimal server needs.

Completeness5/5

The financial surface is remarkably thorough: accounts, transactions, credit card bills, loans, investments, categories, connection lifecycle, sync, and provider health are all covered with list/get and update paths where applicable. The platform side also covers auth, connection status, marketplace discovery/execution, versioning, and bug reporting, leaving no obvious dead ends.
