Has anyone played around with the new Custom Tool Script Type? https://system.app.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=t_section_0724092648_1.html I'm following this guide, but it doesn't appear to work
m
Hi!! I’ve been trying but I can’t get it to work either. I deployed the object to the account successfully. It doesn’t show on in the script list, nor does it show as a tool in Claude. I’m also only seeing a single tool in Claude for run suiteql…
e
If I had to guess who would be the first to play around with it... I would have guessed you 🙂

But same - successful deployment using SDF, but nothing shows in the list of Scripts in NetSuites UI
m
Are you able to get multiple tools to show in Claude?
e
No- but I think that's based on permissions. Let me grab this article
m
That’s what I’m thinking… I don’t know what permission it would be though
e

I think the Role that needs view permission for Customers in order to use getCustomerDetails
and view permissions on Item Record in order to use getItemDetails... etc.. (I think)
Oh wait - maybe this is needed too:
(sorry for the tiny screenshot)
m
I went through and added a ton of permissions and am getting getItemDetails and checkInventoryLevels now
e
Nice! If you feel comfortable sharing which permissions you added, it would help me (once I get to that step)
m
So that does look to be connected to roles but it’s not clear what ones. I have full customer/vendor/partner list permissions and the customer one still isn’t showing up. I went through and selected every option on the report and list section. not ideal…
e
Does your Script show up in this list?
m
Nope

@Matt Bernstein I wonder if you remove the
Copy code
<permissions>
    <permission>
            <permkey>LIST_EMAILTEMPLATE</permkey>
            <permlevel>FULL</permlevel>
    </permission>
    <permission>
            <permkey>ADMI_CRMLIST</permkey>
            <permlevel>VIEW</permlevel>
    </permission>
  </permissions>
from the XML file and redeploy it... If that would allow those new "functions" to show in Claude. Or alternatively, if you assigned the role the LIST_EMAILTEMPLATE permission to full and the CRM LIST permission to VIEW
Feels like the <premissions> attribute in the XML file dictates if the custom functions show in Claude
m
I was just starting to try that

e
lmk how it goes. I'm still working through a bunch of compliance paperwork to get cleared to actually connect Claude to our NS instance
m
I don’t think exposeto3rdpartyagents is working correctly. In my log I’m seeing
Copy code
WARNING -- One or more potential issues were found during custom object validation. (customtool_test1)
Details: The exposeto3rdpartyagent object field is invalid or not supported and will be ignored.
Then when I import it directly from netsuite, the value is 
<exposeto3rdpartyagents>F</exposeto3rdpartyagents>
That’s it! The docs use 
<exposeto3rdpartyagent>T</exposeto3rdpartyagent>
but the actual value is plural 
<exposeto3rdpartyagents>T</exposeto3rdpartyagents>
e
Hmm, yeah the plural seems to take. I tried with that set to T and set to F (one article says to use F for ACP) But still no script showing in my environment
m
The script record isn’t showing but it appears in Claude
e
oh sick. That's really all that matters then
❗ 1
Can you use Claude to reverse a string / or add 2 numbers now?
m
yes!
e
Dang. This is going to be powerful. Did you use T or F for the 
exposeto3rdpartyagents
?
m
T
It looks like custom records can’t be set as a minimum permission. My deployment fails every time
Copy code
<permission>
    <permkey>[scriptid=customrecord_record_id]</permkey>
    <permlevel>VIEW</permlevel>
</permission>
a
@ericbirdsall set F to ACP when you want ro undeploy, NS doesn’t not support this customagenttool from UI.
@ericbirdsall / @Matt Bernstein, I can see these here.
m
Those are the same I'm seeing. The docs say there should be more, so I'm confused on that. We may just have to wait until they have more docs
a
yeah, docs seems to be limited and have typos as well. I can see 9 tools in my connector, I added most of the permissions to the role, but list in docs says 13 predefined tools, maybe few more permissions 🙂
g
@ericbirdsall @Matt Bernstein @Abdul Qadeer I'm able to see 15 tools (all 13 from the MCP Tools SuiteApp and 2 from the sample code). Just for testing purposes, I customized the standard CFO role (41) and added three permissions: • Log in using OAuth 2.0 Access Tokens (Full) • MCP Server Connection (Full) • CRM Lists (View) This is what I see in Claude:

you should have different set of permissions probably for that role.
g
for sure, but this was just for testing (in a demo account). Now that I can see all the tools, I can pare back the permissions and determine the minimum permission requirements

All good info here. Looks like all the tools (with customs) are possible. But it's not clear which permissions are needed for each tool.
For anyone else looking into this- this suiteanswers article is a little more buried (not linked from any of the other Custom Tool articles) This has step by step instructions on how to create / deploy the Custom Tools. Keep in mind the Typo mentioned above by @Matt Bernstein on the SDF XML netsuite provides This line is wrong: 
<exposeto3rdpartyagent>T</exposeto3rdpartyagent>
It should actually be 
agents
(plural): 
<exposeto3rdpartyagents>T</exposeto3rdpartyagents>
