Rôle

Move money budgeted in one category to another for a month, after the user confirms.

The way to cover overspending: one preview, one confirmation and one undo_operation for both categories, where set_category_budget would take two. The amount is what moves, in currency units, not a new total. The result gives both categories before and after, and what each will have available. Confirmation works as for apply_categories.

Erreurs

• Give two different categories: money moves from one to another.
• Category {category_id} is not in this plan: use a category_id from get_category_balances.
• month must be 'current' or the first day of a month as YYYY-MM-01, got '{month}'.
• {refused}; {name} is back to {from_amount}: nothing was moved.
• {refused}, then putting {name} back failed too ({again}): set {name} back to {from_amount} in YNAB.
• This client cannot ask the user to confirm, and AVENIR_MCP_REQUIRE_ELICITATION=1 forbids confirmation codes: nothing was changed. Use a client that supports MCP elicitation, or unset the variable.
• This confirmation code is unknown, expired, already used, or was issued for different changes. Call again without confirmation to get a new preview.
• Confirmation codes are disabled (AVENIR_MCP_REQUIRE_ELICITATION=1): call again without confirmation, and the user answers in the client.
• The plan changed between the preview and the answer. Call again without an answer to get a new preview.
