Should I use this
Quality & Safety
Based on automated analysis of tool definitions and protocol compliance.
Context Cost
This is the approximate number of tokens consumed each time the server's tools are loaded into a model's context. Higher counts reduce the attention available for other tasks.

🔴register_simcloud_user(first_name, last_name, cell, email, password, ...)
Create a normal SIMcloud account under the authenticated account for a client application user. Confirm that the person consents to account creation and that their cell number, email and password are correct before calling. The response contains the child account API token, which must be stored securely and used only for that child account.

Use this when an authenticated SIMcloud user asks to send or recharge prepaid airtime to a South African mobile number on MTN, Vodacom, Cell C or Telkom. Confirm the MSISDN, network, rand amount and reference before calling. This spends wallet funds and queues an irreversible external transaction. Never automatically retry an ambiguous result. Duplicate same-MSISDN-and-amount requests inside 5 minutes return HTTP 409.
