Tools & capabilities
Priors tools 20
pay_urlFetch a URL that may charge per call with x402 (HTTP 402) and pay it in USDG on Robinhood Chain from the configured wallet. Moves real money: confirm the URL and the most you will pay with the user first. Pays only if the price is at or below max_price_usd (default 0.10 USD); a higher price is refused before anything is signed. If the wallet is short, it borrows the gap from the agent's Priors credit line only when max_borrow_usd is given and covers it (the loan must then be repaid with the repay tool before its due date). Returns what was paid and borrowed, and the response body.wallet_balanceShow how much USDG (the dollar the payments and loans use) and native ETH for gas a Robinhood Chain address holds. Defaults to the configured wallet; any address works without a key. Read-only.credit_statusShow a Priors agent's credit line on Robinhood Chain: who backs it, the line, what is drawn and available, its repayment record, score and open loans with due dates, and (for the configured wallet) its Autopay: on or off, the limit per loan, the budget left, the next loan it repays and any shortfall. agent_id defaults to the configured wallet's agent. Read-only.stock_assetsList the Robinhood stock tokens the Priors stock vault accepts as collateral on Robinhood Chain: each token's live Chainlink price, whether the vault lends against it right now (and if not, why: a sharp price move, a multiplier change such as a split, a paused or blocked token), and its loan-to-value. Read-only.stock_positionShow the stock tokens behind a Priors agent's stock line on Robinhood Chain: the token and amount the vault holds, what the vault values them at, the loan-to-value, what the line can draw now, whether new loans wait on a lending hold, and whether the line is closing. agent_id defaults to the configured wallet's agent. Read-only.stock_line_requestWhen the agent's Priors line is too small for a task, ask its owner for a line backed by a Robinhood stock token the owner holds: checks the token takes new lines now (price, holds, caps, the week's room, against the line the deposit opens) and the agent can take one, sizes the deposit to the line asked for at the agent's own loan-to-value (its record bonus included), with room for a 23% fall, states the cost in cents for a day and a week and what a default would keep, and returns a Go mode link that opens the owner's deposit sheet already filled in. Nothing is deposited or signed by this tool. Ask once per task, and only for what the task needs. agent_id defaults to the configured agent (PRIORS_AGENT_ID, or the one identity minted to the configured wallet); when a wallet is configured and its agent can't be told, the call fails and asks for agent_id. Without agent_id and with no wallet configured, the request is for a new agent.score_ofLook up any agent's Priors score (0 to 1000) and repayment record on Robinhood Chain: a public record built from on-chain repayments, plus the open Priors Score v2 and its trust rung when published. Useful before trusting or paying an agent. Read-only.borrowBorrow USDG from the agent's Priors credit line into the configured wallet. Moves real money and opens a loan with a fee that must be repaid (principal + fee) before the due date, or the agent's record is burnt and its backer pays. Always state the amount, term and fee to the user and get their go-ahead first; use dry_run: true to get the fee without borrowing.repayRepay the agent's own Priors loans in full (principal + fee) from the configured wallet's USDG; a loan of another agent, or one opened while someone else held the agent, is refused, and so is every loan when the wallet is neither the agent's owner nor its declared ERC-8004 wallet. Give either loan_id for one loan, or all: true to repay every open loan, earliest due first, as far as the balance covers. Moves real money: state the amounts (credit_status lists them) to the user and get their go-ahead first. The answer ends with share facts for each loan repaid (the amount, on time or late, the agent's record page), also as structured content with a suggested line; this server never posts anything.autopay_onTurn on Autopay for the configured agent: this wallet approves AutoRepay for a USDG budget (4 x the limit per loan) and enrolls, so each Priors loan is repaid from this wallet (then its savings, if chosen) in the 6 hours before it is due, by Priors' keeper or anyone, with no call per loan, while the wallet holds enough. It makes an on-time repayment more likely; it is not a promise. Call it again to change the limit or approve more budget when it runs low. Moves real allowances: state the limit and the budget to the user and get their go-ahead once. Needs ETH for gas.autopay_offTurn off Autopay for the configured agent: AutoRepay stops repaying its loans from this wallet at once. With clear_budget: true, also set this wallet's allowances to AutoRepay to 0. Loans must then be repaid with the repay tool before their due date.savingsShow how much USDG an address has saved in the savings vault (Steakhouse USDG on Morpho by default), what the vault can pay out to it right now, and the USDG in its wallet. Defaults to the configured wallet. Read-only.- +8 more on the listing page

qbo_authenticateAuthenticate with QuickBooks using OAuth (local credential mode only). Step 1: Call with no arguments to get the authorization URL. Step 2: After authorizing in browser, call with authorization_code and realm_id from the callback URL. This tool only works when QBO_CREDENTIAL_MODE is 'local' (the default).get_company_infoGet information about the connected QuickBooks company.queryExecute a QuickBooks query using SQL-like syntax. Supports querying any entity type (Customer, Vendor, Invoice, Bill, Account, Item, Department, etc.). Results are written to a file to preserve context. Defaults to MAXRESULTS 1000 if not specified. Examples: 'SELECT * FROM Customer', 'SELECT * FROM SalesReceipt WHERE TxnDate >= \'2025-11-01\' AND TxnDate <= \'2025-11-30\''list_accountsList all accounts in the chart of accounts. Returns AcctNum (the user-facing account number), Name, AccountType, AccountSubType, and CurrentBalance. Use AcctNum to reference accounts in other queries or operations.get_profit_lossGet a Profit and Loss (Income Statement) report. Can be broken down by department/location.get_balance_sheetGet a Balance Sheet report. Can be broken down by department/location.get_reportRun a QuickBooks report that has no dedicated tool: A/R and A/P aging, customer and vendor balances, transaction lists, general ledger, journal, sales by customer/item/class/department, cash flow, and detail variants. Answers what is outstanding and how old it is, which the entity query tools cannot — a report sees postings that carry no account reference in entity JSON. Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet and Trial Balance have their own tools.get_trial_balanceGet a Trial Balance report. Useful for month-end close and reconciliation. Note: Trial Balance does not support department/location breakdown in QuickBooks Online.query_account_transactionsQuery all transactions affecting a specific account, across all 13 posting transaction types. Returns a consolidated list with date, type, amount (debit/credit), and description. Useful for investigating account balance discrepancies. Note: the A/R side of invoices, credit memos, and payments has no account reference in QBO's data model and cannot appear here — use account_period_summary for A/R totals.account_period_summaryGet a period summary for an account: opening balance, total debits/credits, closing balance, and transaction count. Uses the General Ledger report. Supports department filtering.create_journal_entryCreate a journal entry. Accepts account/department/entity names (will lookup IDs automatically). Validates debits=credits before creating. Lines may carry an entity (vendor, customer, or employee) — QuickBooks requires one on any line posting to Accounts Receivable or Accounts Payable. Returns entry details and a link to view in QuickBooks.get_journal_entryFetch a single journal entry by ID with full details including SyncToken (needed for edits). Returns formatted summary and writes full object to temp file.- +29 more on the listing page
