In plain words

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

apideck-mcp-receive-payment scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Receive a customer payment (Apideck MCP)

When the user wants to record a payment against an existing invoice, prefer apideck-receive-customer-payment over stitching accounting-invoices-get + accounting-payments-create manually. The workflow tool fetches the invoice, reads its outstanding balance, builds the right allocation with type: "invoice", and surfaces structured errors with failingStep.

When this is the right tool

User intent Tool
"Customer paid invoice 4", "Apply $500 to invoice 12 from ACME", "Record receipt for invoice 99" apideck-receive-customer-payment
"Pay vendor bill X" apideck-pay-bill (AP — accounts payable, different unified endpoint)
"Create an unallocated customer prepayment" accounting-payments-create directly (no allocation)
"Show me unpaid invoices" accounting-invoices-list with filter[status]=open

IMPORTANT RULES

  • CONFIRM before calling. Receive-payment is mutating and not idempotent — calling twice creates two payments on the connected service. Always show the user the invoice total, currency, deposit account, and customer, and wait for explicit confirmation before invoking.
  • PASS payment_method capitalized for QuickBooks: "Check", "CreditCard", "Cash". Lower-case fails JSON parsing. Other connectors accept lower-case ("check", "ach", "wire").
  • OMIT amount to settle the full outstanding balance. The workflow defaults to the invoice's balance (outstanding), not the gross total, so partial-paid invoices don't get over-settled. Only pass amount when the user explicitly wants a partial payment.
  • DON'T confuse with apideck-pay-bill. Customer payments (someone owes you) → apideck-receive-customer-paymentaccounting-payments-create. Vendor bills (you owe someone) → apideck-pay-billaccounting-bill-payments-create. The unified APIs split AR and AP into separate endpoints; the wrong one will be rejected by the connector with confusing error messages (e.g. QuickBooks: VendorRef missing when there's a customer on the other side).
  • SET x-apideck-service-id when the consumer has multiple accounting connections.
