Tools
Every tool on Daybook's MCP server by area: what it reads or does, and the API page that does the same from code.
Each tool reads or acts as the credential that called it (Credentials). Tools that read are marked read-only, so a client can run them without asking; tools that act ask first in Claude and Cursor unless you allow them always. Money comes back in dollars beside the cents, so the model never does the arithmetic.
