- [`get_sales_receipt_summary`](/docs/en/mcp/tools/get_sales_receipt_summary.md) — **Get sales receipt summary**: Summarize sales recorded as Exac receipts for one business day. Use this for 'how much did I sell?'. It includes receipts later invoiced and receipts never invoiced, and never adds CFDI totals separately.

- [`get_tax_summary`](/docs/en/mcp/tools/get_tax_summary.md) — **Get tax summary**: Get authoritative taxes declared, paid, and pending for a fiscal year or month. Tax amounts come only from parsed declarations; CFDI contributor context is informational and never affects tax totals. If declarations are unavailable, tax totals are null rather than estimated.
