extract_line_items
AI agents call extract_line_items to retrieve information from Invoice Parser MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and parses line item data from invoice documents without creating side effects, modifying data, executing code, or processing financial transactions. It is a pure data extraction operation similar to sibling tools 'parse_invoice' and 'parse_receipt'. The empty description does not provide additional concerning capabilities, and the context indicates this is part of document parsing workflow.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'extract_line_items' combined with server context describes extraction of structured data from invoices/receipts.
