| description | Manage Organization Settings and Platform Settings via the TRES MCP GraphQL API. Use when users ask about org settings, platform settings, configuration, feature flags, enable/disable platforms, balance diff, commit strategy, cost basis, ERP, pricing, sync boundaries, or any setting read/write operation. Trigger phrases include "get settings", "show settings", "update settings", "change settings", "enable platform", "disable platform", "balance diff", "commit strategy", "cost basis strategy", "set min sync date", "configure", "turn on", "turn off". |
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:
- Show a clear summary table with Setting, Current Value, and New Value
- Explicitly ask: "Shall I apply these changes to {orgName}?"
- Only proceed after the user confirms
- 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:
| Category | What It Controls |
|---|
| Cost Basis | How gains/losses are calculated (FIFO, LIFO, etc.), per-wallet vs org-wide, impairment |
| Commit Pipeline | Automatic data processing schedule, priority, stuck detection, sync hours |
| Internal Transfers | How transfers between the org's own wallets are detected and matched |
| Pricing | Where asset prices come from, stablecoin pegging, swap alignment |
| ERP Integration | How data syncs to accounting systems (NetSuite, Xero, QuickBooks) |
| Dashboard & Features | Which UI features are enabled (pivot tables, vesting, payments, multi-entity) |
| Staking | Staking rewards tracking and position management |
| Reconciliation | Cross-org and subsystem reconciliation behavior |
| Reports | Scheduled report timing, format, and content |
| Platform Collection | Which blockchains/exchanges are enabled, their sync boundaries and filters |
Reading Organization Settings
Query Structure
query {
admin {
orgName
organizationSettings {
}
}
}
- 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:
| Field | Sub-fields | What It Is |
|---|
peggedStableCoinsToFiat | assetName, currency | Stablecoins treated as equivalent to fiat |
pricingApiSourcePerAsset | assetName, pricingApiSource | Custom pricing source per asset |
netsuiteCurrencySymbolToInternalId | currency, internalId | NetSuite currency mapping |
simpleMatchingStrategies | beforeRange, afterRange | Reconciliation time windows |
proofOfFunds | organizationName | Proof of funds client config |
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
- Read the current values of the setting(s) being changed
- Show the user a before/after comparison table
- Warn if any high-risk settings are involved
- Ask for approval
- Execute the mutation
- 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
}
}
}
}
Filtering Options
All arguments are optional — combine as needed:
| Argument | Type | Use Case |
|---|
platform | Platform | Show settings for a specific chain/exchange |
internalAccountId | Int | Show settings for a specific wallet |
settingsId | String | Exact match on storage key |
settingsId_Icontains | String | Partial match (e.g., "ethereum" matches "ethereum_714128") |
- 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
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"
- Query current:
admin { organizationSettings { costBasisStrategy } }
- Show: "Current: FIFO → New: LIFO"
- Warn: "Changing the cost basis method will trigger recalculation. This affects all historical gain/loss calculations."
- Ask for approval
- Execute:
setOrganizationSettings(costBasisStrategy: LIFO)
"Enable Arbitrum"
- Query disabled:
admin { disabledPlatforms } — confirm ARBITRUM is in the list
- Show: "ARBITRUM: Disabled → Enabled"
- Ask for approval
- Execute:
setPlatformCollectionStatus(platformCollectionStatuses: [{platform: ARBITRUM, enabled: true}])
"Set sync start date for wallet X on Polygon"
- Resolve wallet:
internalAccount(identifier: "0x...") → get id
- Read current:
platformSettings(platform: POLYGON, internalAccountId: {id}) → get minLastSyncedAt
- Show: "Wallet {name} on POLYGON: minLastSyncedAt: 1970-01-01 → 2025-01-01"
- Ask for approval
- Execute:
setPlatformSettings(platform: POLYGON, internalAccountId: {id}, minLastSyncedAt: "2025-01-01T00:00:00+00:00")
"Add balance diff for native asset on a specific wallet"
- Resolve wallet:
internalAccount(identifier: "0x...") → get id
- Read current:
platformSettings(platform: ETHEREUM, internalAccountId: {id})
- Show: "Adding balance rollup for native asset (DAILY interval) on wallet {name} / ETHEREUM"
- Ask for approval
- Execute:
setPlatformSettings(platform: ETHEREUM, internalAccountId: {id}, balanceRollupSettings: {assetIdentifiers: ["native"], interval: DAILY})
"Show me which platforms are disabled"
- Execute:
admin { disabledPlatforms }
- Present as a clean list grouped by chain family if many results
"What pricing source is configured?"
- Execute:
admin { organizationSettings { pricingApiSource peggedStableCoinsToFiat { assetName currency } pricingApiSourcePerAsset { assetName pricingApiSource } } }
- Present: default source + any per-asset overrides + pegged stablecoins
Error Handling
| Error | Meaning | Resolution |
|---|
| 403 / Permission denied | User lacks admin:* permission | Contact org admin to grant access |
Empty platformSettings results | No custom overrides — platform uses defaults | This is normal; explain that defaults apply |
| "does not exist for organization" | Internal account ID not found in this org | Verify the wallet address and re-resolve |
| Invalid enum value | Wrong value for a setting | Use introspect on the enum type to show valid options |
| DateTime parse error | Wrong format | Must be ISO 8601 with timezone: "2025-01-01T00:00:00+00:00" |
