Workflow: First-Time Setup

Run accounts_list to get accountUid and defaultCategory (categoryUid)
Save these IDs — they're needed for most operations
Run account_balance_get to verify access works
Store account details in your memory/config for future use

Notes

All amounts are in minor units (pence). £10.50 = 1050
Timestamps must be ISO 8601 format: 2026-02-17T00:00:00.000Z
categoryUid = the defaultCategory from accounts_list for main account transactions
Balance fields: clearedBalance (settled), effectiveBalance (including pending)
See references/api-details.md for full tool schemas
