tie-out-review

tie-out-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ethan-haas/docverify-mcp. It costs 62 tokens per session (1,033 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review procedure for checking cash-basis financial statements through the docverify MCP server. It only allows figures from a statement that passed every required check to be reported.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract, foot, cross-foot, tie out, or reconcile an Ohio black-box test of a state combined statement. It also explains why a document-verification tool refused to provide figures.
Why use it?
It prevents unreconciled or failed figures from being mistaken for trustworthy results. When checks fail, it explains the problem without reconstructing or estimating withheld numbers.

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

tie-out-review 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 10d 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.

Tie-out review

The docverify MCP server extracts a Combined Statement of Receipts, Disbursements and Changes in Fund Balances and verifies it before it will hand over any figures.

The one rule

Never state a figure that did not arrive under verified: true.

extract_statement returns one of two shapes:

verified shape
true has line_items. Those figures passed every check. Quote them.
false has no line_items key at all. There is nothing to quote.

On a refusal, do not reconstruct a figure from the arithmetic in failed_checks, do not estimate it, and do not carry a number forward from an earlier message. The numbers inside a refusal are operands of a check that did not tie out. They are evidence of a problem, not an answer. Say what failed and by how much, and stop.

Do not go looking for the figure in another tool. When a document fails, the server withholds it everywhere — verify_totals marks the passing checks disclosed: false with no operands, and explain_exception on a passing check returns no explanation key. That is deliberate, not a bug to work around. A check that passed inside a failed document proves internal consistency of one subset; it does not prove the figure.

verified: true is a claim about provenance, not just arithmetic

Only extract_statement(path=<report.pdf>) can return verified: true, and it means: the server read these figures out of the document itself and proved them.

verify_totals answers a different question — is this arithmetic self-consistent? — for numbers you supply or a .json file you name. Its payload says so: checks_pass rather than verified, and claim.kind == "arithmetic_only". Never describe that result as verified, extracted, or confirmed. Say "the numbers you gave me are internally consistent" and name the source as the caller's, because a statement with a row deleted and its totals rebalanced ties out perfectly.

Order of work

  1. extract_statement(path) — always first, and always with the PDF. It does not take a pre-extracted .json.
  2. If verified: true, report the figures and say how many checks passed (verification.checks_run) and that coverage.complete is true. The check count and the coverage are part of the answer.
  3. If verified: false:
    • name every id in refusal.failed_check_ids
    • for each, call explain_exception(check_id) and report the two numbers that disagreed, the difference, and the page each came from
    • read refusal.verdict_reasons: a document can also fail because zero checks ran, or because a line item was covered by no check at all. Say which.
    • state plainly that no figures are available for this document
  4. verify_totals(path) when asked how something was proven. It shows the arithmetic for every check it is entitled to disclose. Be precise about what that means: a check's operands are line items, so on a document that verified it does return the figures — and on one that failed it returns only the failing checks' arithmetic. Check the disclosure block before you describe what you are looking at.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
