 ## Why This Exists
 
-YNAB's budgeting philosophy works best when you interact with your budget frequently — but the app interface isn't designed for quick queries or bulk operations. "How much did I spend on groceries this month?" shouldn't require navigating three screens. "Categorize all my Amazon orders from this week" shouldn't be a manual, one-by-one process.
+YNAB's budgeting philosophy works best when you interact with your budget frequently - but the app interface isn't designed for quick queries or bulk operations. "How much did I spend on groceries this month?" shouldn't require navigating three screens. "Categorize all my Amazon orders from this week" shouldn't be a manual, one-by-one process.
 
 This server gives your AI assistant full access to YNAB's API, turning natural language into budget operations. All monetary values are automatically converted between dollars and YNAB's internal milliunits format so the AI never has to think about it. Built on the [official YNAB JavaScript SDK](https://github.com/ynab/ynab-sdk-js) with direct API calls for the newest endpoints (category creation, category groups, money movements) that the SDK hasn't caught up with yet.

 ### Design Decisions
 
-- **Dollar amounts everywhere** — inputs and outputs are in dollars (`-12.34`), never milliunits (`-12340`). Conversion is automatic and transparent.
-- **Smart budget resolution** — set `YNAB_BUDGET_ID` for a default, or omit it to auto-resolve to your last-used budget. Every tool accepts an optional `budgetId` override.
-- **Split transactions** — first-class support for subtransactions in create, read, and format operations.
-- **Bulk operations** — `create_transactions` and `update_transactions` handle arrays in a single API call.
-- **Fetch-then-merge updates** — scheduled transaction updates (which use PUT semantics) automatically fetch the current state and merge your changes, so you only specify what changed.
-- **Fuzzy search** — `search_categories` and `search_payees` do case-insensitive partial matching across all entries.
-- **Approval workflow** — `review_unapproved` groups transactions into "ready to approve" (categorized, split, or transfer) and "needs attention" (uncategorized), with a built-in warning against approving uncategorized entries.
-- **Nullable updates** — update tools accept `null` for clearable fields (`memo`, `payeeName`, `categoryId`, `flagColor`) to distinguish "don't change" (omit) from "clear this field" (`null`).
-- **Debt account support** — loan and debt accounts include `debt_original_balance`, `debt_interest_rates`, `debt_minimum_payments`, and `debt_escrow_amounts` with correct unit conversion (rates stay as percentages, payments convert from milliunits).

+- **Target behavior support** - category create/update tools expose `goalNeedsWholeAmount` for YNAB's "Set aside another" vs. "Refill up to" goal behavior.
+- **Delta request support** - high-volume list tools accept `lastKnowledgeOfServer` and return `server_knowledge` when that parameter is provided.

 ## Rate Limiting
 
-The YNAB API allows **200 requests per hour** per access token, enforced on a rolling window. Each tool call typically uses one API request (except `update_scheduled_transaction` which uses two — a GET to fetch current state, then a PUT to merge changes).
