Tools (20)
As the server describes them. The labels are the server's own: it says whether each tool only reads or can change things.
- sortly_list_itemsList items and folders, newest first. By default the root level; pass folder_id for a folder's direct contents, plus include_subfolders for everything nested under it. Paginated via meta.next_page_ur…Read-only
- sortly_get_itemFetch a single item or folder by numeric id: quantity, min_quantity, price, tags, sid, barcodes, and optionally custom field values and photos. Sortly: GET /api/v1/items/{item_id}.Read-only
- sortly_search_itemsSearch items and folders by name, optionally limited to items or folders and scoped to specific folders. Read-only despite being a POST. Paginated: send the same arguments with the next page number.…Read-only
- sortly_list_recently_updated_itemsList items and folders changed since a Unix timestamp — the incremental-sync read ('what moved since yesterday?'). Without updated_since it behaves like sortly_list_items. Sortly: GET /api/v1/items/r…Read-only
- sortly_list_custom_fieldsList the account's custom fields (id, name, type, applies_to). Call this before writing custom_attribute_values to get the right custom_attribute_id. Sortly: GET /api/v1/custom_fields.Read-only
- sortly_list_unitsList the units of measure available to the account (unit_name, unit_type, scale) — the values measured_quantity and purchase-order lines expect. Sortly: GET /api/v1/units.Read-only
- sortly_list_alertsList stock (Quantity) and date (DateReminder) alerts, with is_fired showing which have already triggered — the quick way to find low-stock items. Sortly: GET /api/v1/alerts.Read-only
- sortly_list_jobsList jobs (work orders that pull stock out), most recently updated first, filterable by name prefix and status. Paginated via meta.pagination.has_next. Sortly: GET /api/v1/jobs.Read-only
- sortly_get_jobFetch a single job: status, folder_id (where its pulled items sit), dates, notes, custom field values and the version needed for updates. Sortly: GET /api/v1/jobs/{job_id}.Read-only
