AroFlo: Get Schedules

aroflo_get_schedules
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve and filter schedule data from AroFlo using WHERE clauses, ORDER sorting, JOIN relationships, and pagination controls to manage work schedules effectively.

Instructions

Query the AroFlo Schedules zone (GET). Use pipe-delimited WHERE clauses like "and|field|=|value", ORDER clauses like "field|asc", and JOIN areas like "lineitems". where/order/join accept either a single string or an array. mode: data|verbose|debug|raw (default: data). Set compact=true and optionally select=["field","nested.field"] to reduce payload size. See resource "aroflo://docs/api/" (example: "aroflo://docs/api/quotes") for valid fields/values.

Implementation Reference

  • The `registerZoneGetTools` function registers tools for all zones defined in AROFLO_ZONES, including `aroflo_get_schedules`. It handles the tool registration, input validation, API calling with pagination, and result formatting.
    export function registerZoneGetTools(server: McpServer, client: AroFloClient): void {
      for (const zone of AROFLO_ZONES) {
        // We already expose a dedicated tool with a richer schema for lastupdate.
        if (zone === 'LastUpdate') {
          continue;
        }
    
        const toolName = `aroflo_get_${zoneToToolSuffix(zone)}`;
        server.registerTool(
          toolName,

        );
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations declare read-only/idempotent safety. Description adds substantial behavioral context: pipe-delimited WHERE clause syntax ('and|field|=|value'), ORDER syntax ('field|asc'), JOIN areas ('lineitems'), mode options with default ('data'), and payload reduction mechanisms ('compact', 'select' with nested field notation). Does not contradict annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Dense but efficient single paragraph with zero filler. Front-loaded with purpose, immediately followed by syntax examples. Technical details ('pipe-delimited', 'default: data') are high-signal. Slightly cramped structure could benefit from sentence breaks, but no wasted words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Appropriate for complexity: references external documentation for exhaustive field lists (practical for large APIs), explains payload optimization ('compact', 'select'), and notes output schema exists so return values needn't be described. Covers primary query patterns sufficiently despite 18 undocumented schema parameters.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Critical compensation for 0% schema description coverage across 18 parameters. Explains complex query syntax for 'where'/'order'/'join' (pipe-delimited strings or arrays), 'mode' enum values, and 'select' array format ('nested.field'). Missing: pagination semantics (page, pageSize, autoPaginate) and boolean flags (validateWhere, verbose, debug).

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Clear specific verb 'Query' + resource 'AroFlo Schedules zone' with HTTP method 'GET' indicated. Explicitly targets 'Schedules' which distinguishes it from 40+ sibling get tools targeting other zones like tasks, assets, quotes, etc.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Provides documentation resource reference ('aroflo://docs/api/<slug>') for valid fields, implying users should check there for specifics. However, lacks explicit guidance on when to use this specific zone vs. related zones like 'aroflo_get_tasks' or 'aroflo_get_workorders', leaving selection to implicit inference.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
