hcp_api_notes
Check the real behavior of Housecall Pro API endpoints—documentation may list routes that don't exist, writes that are silently ignored, or misleading field units. Use this lookup before retrying a 404 or declaring something impossible.
Instructions
Look up what the Housecall Pro API actually does for a given topic, as opposed to what its published documentation says. Call this BEFORE concluding that something cannot be done, before retrying a route that returned 404, and after any write that reported success but looks like it changed nothing. It answers from a table of verified behaviour: routes the documentation describes that do not exist, writes that are accepted and silently ignored, and fields whose units are not what they appear to be. Ask in plain words - a topic, a route, a field name, or the thing you were trying to do. Omit the topic to read the whole table. This tool reads a table compiled into this server and makes no API call, so it costs nothing and cannot fail.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| topic | No | What you are working on. A route ("PATCH /jobs"), a field ("work_status"), or a goal ("set a job description", "create an invoice"). Omit for everything. |
