·2 min read·10 views·View Oracle Docs

Custom tool scripts in SuiteScript 2.1 enable the creation of NetSuite tools that external AI clients can invoke using the NetSuite AI Connector Service. This functionality, introduced in a recent update, allows developers to craft tools for data retrieval and automation directly from AI-driven natural language prompts.

Main Features

  • Custom Tool Scripts: These scripts provide the mechanism for AI clients to interact with NetSuite, performing tasks such as data retrieval and action triggering within natural language interactions.

  • Deployment via SDF: Custom tools can only be added to your NetSuite account through the SuiteCloud Development Framework, supporting both SuiteApp and account customization projects.

  • JSON Schema Requirement: Each tool must be defined using a JSON schema to ensure proper deployment and interaction.

  • Limitations: Note that N/http, N/https, and N/sftp modules are not supported within custom tool scripts.

Code Samples

You can find sample implementations in the MCP-Sample-Tools repository, which provide a starting point for using the NetSuite AI Connector Service.

Who This Affects

  • Developers: Those looking to leverage AI capabilities within NetSuite.
  • Administrators: Professionals managing NetSuite deployments interested in integrating AI.

Key Takeaways

  • Custom tool scripts enhance AI-driven interactions within NetSuite.
  • Deployment is exclusively via SuiteCloud Development Framework.
  • JSON Schema is required to define each custom tool.
  • Be aware of module limitations when implementing these scripts.
