TRES MCP - Organization & Platform Settings

How This Skill Works

This skill lets users view and modify configuration for their TRES Finance organization and individual blockchain/exchange platforms. There are two levels:

• Organization Settings — Apply to the entire org: how cost basis is calculated, which features are enabled, ERP behavior, pricing sources, commit scheduling, etc.
• Platform Settings — Apply per-platform (e.g., Ethereum, Arbitrum) and optionally per-wallet: commit strategy, sync date boundaries, balance diff, asset filtering, etc.

Ground Rules

1. Always Start by Identifying the Org

Before doing anything, confirm which organization the user is connected to:

query { admin { orgName } }

Tell the user: "You're connected to {orgName}."

2. Read Before Write

Before any mutation, ALWAYS fetch the current value of the setting(s) being changed. Show a clear before/after comparison.

3. Mutations Require Explicit Approval

Before executing ANY mutation, you MUST:

1. Show a clear summary table with Setting, Current Value, and New Value
2. Explicitly ask: "Shall I apply these changes to {orgName}?"
3. Only proceed after the user confirms
4. After execution, show the confirmed result from the mutation response

4. Warn About High-Risk Changes

Flag these settings as potentially dangerous and add a warning:

• costBasisStrategy — Changing mid-period can cause recalculations across the entire org
• disableAutoCommit — Stops all automatic data processing
• skipCostBasis — Disables cost basis entirely
• commitStrategy: SKIP_ALL — Fully disables a platform's data pipeline
• enableMultiEntity — Structural change, hard to reverse
• allowShort — Enables short positions in cost basis

5. Use Schema Introspection for Field Discovery

Do NOT rely on hardcoded field lists. Use the MCP introspect tool to discover available fields and their types dynamically:

• introspect("OrganizationSettingsObjectType") — all readable org settings
• introspect("setOrganizationSettings") — all writable org settings with descriptions
• introspect("PlatformSettingsObjectType") — all readable platform settings
• introspect("setPlatformSettings") — all writable platform settings with descriptions

When a user asks "what can I configure?" or you need to verify a field name or enum values, introspect first.

Setting Categories (use when users ask vaguely)

If the user says "show me the settings" without specifics, offer these categories with plain-language explanations:

Reading Organization Settings

Query Structure

query {
  admin {
    orgName
    organizationSettings {
      # include only the fields relevant to the user's question
    }
  }
}

• Organization is resolved from the auth token — no org ID needed
• Never request all fields at once — pick the category relevant to the question
• Use introspect("OrganizationSettingsObjectType") to discover available fields if needed

Nested Fields (must expand sub-fields when querying)

These fields return objects/lists, not scalars. Always include their sub-fields:

Additional Admin Fields

The admin query also provides:

• orgName — the organization's display name
• disabledPlatforms — quick list of platforms with collection fully disabled
• auth0Connections — available SSO login methods

Writing Organization Settings

Mutation Structure

Uses patch semantics — only include the fields you want to change. Everything else stays as-is.

mutation {
  setOrganizationSettings(
    costBasisStrategy: FIFO
  ) {
    organizationSettings {
      costBasisStrategy
    }
  }
}

Use introspect("setOrganizationSettings") to discover all mutable fields, their types, and descriptions.

Workflow for Changing Org Settings

1. Read the current values of the setting(s) being changed
2. Show the user a before/after comparison table
3. Warn if any high-risk settings are involved
4. Ask for approval
5. Execute the mutation
6. Confirm by showing the returned values

Reading Platform Settings

Query Structure (top-level query)

Returns only platforms/accounts with explicit overrides. Platforms using all defaults won't appear.

query {
  platformSettings(platform: ETHEREUM) {
    results {
      settingsId
      platform
      internalAccountId
      platformSettings {
        commitStrategy
        calculateBalanceDiff
        minLastSyncedAt
        maxToDate
        # add fields as needed — use introspect("PlatformSettingsObjectType") for full list
      }
    }
  }
}

Filtering Options

All arguments are optional — combine as needed:

• No args → all stored platform settings
• platform only → platform-wide + all per-wallet overrides for that platform
• platform + internalAccountId → only the per-wallet override
• internalAccountId only → all platforms for that wallet

Quick Check: Which Platforms Are Disabled?

query { admin { disabledPlatforms } }

Writing Platform Settings

Mutation Structure

Patch semantics — only included fields are merged. Existing values preserved.

mutation {
  setPlatformSettings(
    platform: ARBITRUM
    internalAccountId: 714128    # omit for platform-wide
    commitStrategy: FULL
    minLastSyncedAt: "2025-01-01T00:00:00+00:00"
  ) {
    settingsId
    platformSettings {
      commitStrategy
      minLastSyncedAt
    }
  }
}

Use introspect("setPlatformSettings") to discover all available arguments.

Key Arguments

• platform (required) — target blockchain or exchange
• internalAccountId (optional) — scope to a specific wallet. Omit for platform-wide
• DateTime values must be ISO 8601 with timezone: "2025-01-01T00:00:00+00:00"

Balance Rollup (Balance Diff)

To enable balance-diff-based activity tracking for specific assets:

mutation {
  setPlatformSettings(
    platform: ARBITRUM
    internalAccountId: 714128
    balanceRollupSettings: {
      assetIdentifiers: ["native"]
      interval: DAILY
    }
  ) {
    settingsId
    platformSettings {
      balanceRollupSettings { assetIdentifiers interval }
    }
  }
}

assetIdentifiers can be "native" for the chain's native asset, or contract addresses for tokens.

Enabling / Disabling Platforms

Use setPlatformCollectionStatus (not setPlatformSettings) for simple enable/disable.

mutation {
  setPlatformCollectionStatus(
    platformCollectionStatuses: [
      { platform: ARBITRUM, enabled: true }
      { platform: POLYGON, enabled: false }
    ]
  ) {
    success
  }
}

• enabled: true → platform will be collected in commits (FULL)
• enabled: false → platform is fully skipped (SKIP_ALL)

Supports bulk operations — multiple platforms in one call.

Resolving Wallet Addresses to Internal Account IDs

When the user provides a wallet address, look up the internal account ID:

query {
  internalAccount(identifier: "0x1887fa9edadeab7562b01cc3f4fa246ace2c3cdd") {
    results {
      id
      name
      identifier
      parentPlatform
    }
  }
}

Use the returned id as internalAccountId in platform settings mutations.

Note: parentPlatform represents the top-level chain family (e.g., ethereum covers Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, etc.). A single wallet address on ethereum parentPlatform can have platform-specific settings for each L2.

Common Workflows

"Change the cost basis method to LIFO"

1. Query current: admin { organizationSettings { costBasisStrategy } }
2. Show: "Current: FIFO → New: LIFO"
3. Warn: "Changing the cost basis method will trigger recalculation. This affects all historical gain/loss calculations."
4. Ask for approval
5. Execute: setOrganizationSettings(costBasisStrategy: LIFO)

"Enable Arbitrum"

1. Query disabled: admin { disabledPlatforms } — confirm ARBITRUM is in the list
2. Show: "ARBITRUM: Disabled → Enabled"
3. Ask for approval
4. Execute: setPlatformCollectionStatus(platformCollectionStatuses: [{platform: ARBITRUM, enabled: true}])

"Set sync start date for wallet X on Polygon"

1. Resolve wallet: internalAccount(identifier: "0x...") → get id
2. Read current: platformSettings(platform: POLYGON, internalAccountId: {id}) → get minLastSyncedAt
3. Show: "Wallet {name} on POLYGON: minLastSyncedAt: 1970-01-01 → 2025-01-01"
4. Ask for approval
5. Execute: setPlatformSettings(platform: POLYGON, internalAccountId: {id}, minLastSyncedAt: "2025-01-01T00:00:00+00:00")

"Add balance diff for native asset on a specific wallet"

1. Resolve wallet: internalAccount(identifier: "0x...") → get id
2. Read current: platformSettings(platform: ETHEREUM, internalAccountId: {id})
3. Show: "Adding balance rollup for native asset (DAILY interval) on wallet {name} / ETHEREUM"
4. Ask for approval
5. Execute: setPlatformSettings(platform: ETHEREUM, internalAccountId: {id}, balanceRollupSettings: {assetIdentifiers: ["native"], interval: DAILY})

"Show me which platforms are disabled"

1. Execute: admin { disabledPlatforms }
2. Present as a clean list grouped by chain family if many results

"What pricing source is configured?"

1. Execute: admin { organizationSettings { pricingApiSource peggedStableCoinsToFiat { assetName currency } pricingApiSourcePerAsset { assetName pricingApiSource } } }
2. Present: default source + any per-asset overrides + pegged stablecoins
