Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.

Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| parse_messageA | Parse an ISO 20022 pacs.008 (credit transfer) or pacs.002 (status report) XML message into structured JSON. |
| validate_messageA | Validate a pacs.008/pacs.002 message against business rules (IBAN checksum, BIC format, amounts, required parties, counts, free-text limits, prompt-injection patterns). Returns issues with likely reject codes. |
| explain_messageC | Plain-language summary of who pays whom, how much, and status/reasons. Deterministic, no guessing. |
| lookup_codeA | Look up an ISO 20022 status reason, transaction status or charge bearer code. Use this instead of guessing. |
| generate_test_messageB | Generate a synthetic test message. kind: 'pacs.008' or 'pacs.002'. defect (pacs.008): none, bad_iban, bad_bic, missing_creditor_name, bad_decimals, count_mismatch, injection_in_remittance, missing_creditor_address. reason_code is used for pacs.002. |

TDQS
Scored across 5 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct action on the message lifecycle: reference lookup, synthetic generation, parsing, rule validation, and plain-language explanation. Although parse/validate/explain all take a message as input, their outputs (structured JSON, issue list with reject codes, prose summary) are unambiguous and non-overlapping.
All five tools use a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern (lookup_code, generate_test_message, parse_message, validate_message, explain_message) with predictable, domain-appropriate verbs. No mixed conventions or camelCase deviations.
Five tools is well-scoped for a focused ISO 20022 helper: one reference lookup, one generator, and three message-processing operations. Nothing feels redundant or bolted on, and the surface is small enough to be navigable without packing in marginal tools.
The set covers the full practical loop for the two supported message types — look up a code, generate a fixture, parse, validate, and explain — which is coherent end-to-end. Minor gaps: only pacs.008 and pacs.002 are supported (no pacs.004, camt, or pain messages), and there is no tool to enumerate/repair codes or fix a failing message.
