Generate pain XML from a CSV file

generate_message_from_file
Read-onlyIdempotent

Generate validated ISO 20022 payment XML from a local CSV file. Provide message type and file path to produce a pain XML document.

Instructions

Generate validated pain XML from a CSV file on the local disk.

Use this when the records live in a CSV file rather than in memory; it
reads ``data_file_path`` from the local filesystem, then delegates to
``generate_message``. If you already have the records as dicts, call
``generate_message`` directly. Only CSV is supported today (JSON / JSONL
/ SQLite / Parquet are planned for a follow-up release).

Loads ``data_file_path`` via :func:`pain001.csv.load_csv_data.load_csv_data`
so the same path-safety guards apply as in the core library.

Args:
    message_type: A supported ISO 20022 pain message type.
    data_file_path: Path to a CSV file with one record per row.

Returns:
    The validated XML, or a JSON-encoded ``{"error": ...}`` payload.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
message_typeYesA supported ISO 20022 pain message type. Must be exactly one of: 'pain.001.001.03', 'pain.001.001.04', 'pain.001.001.05', 'pain.001.001.06', 'pain.001.001.07', 'pain.001.001.08', 'pain.001.001.09', 'pain.001.001.10', 'pain.001.001.11', 'pain.001.001.12', 'pain.001.001.13', 'pain.008.001.02', 'pain.001', 'pain.008' (see list_message_types). The bare family names 'pain.001' and 'pain.008' are accepted as aliases for 'pain.001.001.09' and 'pain.008.001.02'.
data_file_pathYesLocal filesystem path to a CSV file with one payment record per row and a header matching the template columns (see inspect_template). Only CSV is supported today.

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint. The description adds valuable context beyond these: it reads from local filesystem, delegates to generate_message, uses a specific CSV loading function with path-safety guards, and returns validated XML or error JSON. 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is well-structured with the key purpose upfront, followed by usage guidance and technical details. It is slightly verbose in places (e.g., references to function paths) but each sentence adds value. Could be trimmed slightly but remains effective.

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 two parameters and the presence of an output schema (not shown but referenced), the description covers all necessary aspects: purpose, usage, parameters, return format, and technical details. It references sibling tools appropriately and is complete for an agent to decide and invoke the tool correctly.

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% with clear parameter descriptions. The description adds extra meaning by clarifying that 'pain.001' and 'pain.008' are aliases for specific versions, and referencing the sibling tool 'list_message_types'. This provides value beyond the schema enum.

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 verb 'Generate', the resource 'validated pain XML', and the source 'from a CSV file'. It distinguishes this tool from its sibling 'generate_message' by specifying that it works with a file rather than in-memory data. The title also reinforces the purpose.

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 explicitly tells when to use this tool ('when records live in a CSV file') and when not to ('if you already have records as dicts, call generate_message'). It names the alternative tool and provides clear context about supported formats and future plans.

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