Applies a payment to a pledge with the pledge's own codes.

DonorPerfect MCP tools: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/donorperfect.md

MCP tool: `donorperfect_write → apply_pledge_payment`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Uses Apply payment on the pledge, so the gift data comes from the pledge and nothing is edited by hand. It saves one payment of the amount you give and returns its gift_id. It does not change the pledge or its Schedule of payments. Take pledge_id from list_pledges. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `donor_id` | integer | yes | Donor ID from search_donors. |
| `pledge_id` | integer | yes | Pledge ID from list_pledges. |
| `amount` | number | yes | Payment amount. |
| `date` | date | no | Payment date. Default: the date DonorPerfect fills in. |
