List accounts

List the chart of accounts. Filter by type or archived state, search across code, name and description, and sort by code, name, type, subtype or status.

Outcome

List the chart of accounts. Filter by type or archived state, search across code, name and description, and sort by code, name, type, subtype or status.

Before you start

Verify the intended environment, authenticated identity and specifically approved organization context.
The published application permission is accounts:read. Discover the exact granted canonical Books workspace and bind it separately from action input.

Discover the target

topolo whoami --json
topolo actions get app_topolo_books.accounts.list --detail --json
topolo resources topolo-books --json
topolo workspaces list topolo-books --json

Set BOOKS_WORKSPACE_ID to the exact granted workspace returned by discovery.

Request

GET /api/accounts

Inspect and test this action. Save the reviewed input as payload.json; supply credential/resource context separately.

Input fields

Field	Required	Meaning	Schema and constraints
`includeArchived`	Optional	include Archived	{"type":"boolean"}
`type`	Optional	type	{"type":"string","enum":["asset","liability","equity","income","expense"]}
`search`	Optional	Text filter applied to this action’s collection; this does not discover records outside the credential scope.	{"type":"string","minLength":1,"maxLength":200}
`sortBy`	Optional	One exact supported sort key from the schema.	{"type":"string","enum":["code","name","type","subtype","status"]}
`sortOrder`	Optional	Ascending or descending ordering for the same selected sort key.	{"type":"string","enum":["asc","desc"]}

Inspect nested fields and the complete input schema.

Effects

Reads the chart without changing anything.

Interpret the response

Read $.accounts[].id for the returned account identifier. Empty collections and nullable fields do not discover a target.

No verification needed for a read.

Inspect the success schema. CLI/MCP add their own transport envelope; CLI --detail requests the full result.

Worked examples

Actual Books route handlers and the exported Worker were exercised against five local SQLite D1 concern databases with all committed migrations, the real posting Durable Object and local R2. Route captures use synthetic verified Auth; Worker captures use synthetic Auth transports. Nexus, Brand, Notify, Pay, Mercury and Xero responses are explicitly simulated at the provider transport boundary. Captures prove local request/response behavior and canonical SDK projection, not live bank access, payment movement, email delivery, provider eligibility, tax compliance, encrypted custody, scheduled execution, deployment or production completion. Fixture identities, credentials, addresses and records authorize no live operation.

Run a reviewed request

Save the input from the selected worked example as payload.json. Validate and inspect the plan before calling the action; refused examples demonstrate errors and are not instructions to execute.

CLI:

topolo actions validate app_topolo_books.accounts.list --data @payload.json --json
topolo actions plan app_topolo_books.accounts.list --resource-type workspace --resource-id "$BOOKS_WORKSPACE_ID" --data @payload.json --json
topolo actions call app_topolo_books.accounts.list --resource-type workspace --resource-id "$BOOKS_WORKSPACE_ID" --data @payload.json --detail --json

Errors and recovery

auth_error (HTTP 401): Authenticate in the intended organization again. Verify whoami and the exact Books application/workspace binding before retrying; do not switch identity to work around a refusal.
forbidden (HTTP 403): The credential lacks permission or the resource is outside its scope. Compare the published action permission and discovered workspace binding; obtain the appropriate authorization before another call.
workspace_required (HTTP 400): Discover the granted Books workspace and pass it as the resource context, separately from action input. An organization id is not a workspace id.

These are observed local refusals. Shared authentication, schema validation and resource authorization can also refuse before the route. Preserve the actual error, details and request id.

Recovery boundary

Repeat a read in the same authorized context; no state is changed.

Get account: Read one account with its type, code and current balance, so a journal line can name it correctly.
Post a journal: Post a balanced manual journal to the ledger. Optionally schedule its exact reversal for the first day of a later month with autoReverseOn. Refused with unbalanced_journal, period_locked, account_not_found or account_archived; an idempotencyKey replays the same event. Every line is signed base-currency minor units: positive debit, negative credit.
