🟢draft_invoice(allowPartial, billTo, currency, discount, dueDate, ...)
Price an invoice (subtotal, tax after discount, shipping, total) and get a builderUrl that opens the free AI Invoice Generator builder prefilled. The human can download a PDF there, or connect Stripe to get a pay link that accepts partial payments. Nothing is stored or sent.
