Doel

Set or remove the coloured flag of transactions, after the user confirms.

Use it to mark what the user should look at in YNAB rather than deciding for them: a possible duplicate, a charge they do not recognise, a refund to watch for. Colours: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple; null removes the flag. The user may have named their flags in YNAB: ask which colour means what before choosing. A flag already set is left out. Undoable with undo_operation. Confirmation works as for apply_categories.

Fouten

• Give at least one flag.
• Transaction {twice} is named twice: give one flag each.
• Transaction {unknown} is not in this plan: use a transaction_id from find_transactions.
• 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.
