fieldtask_list_customer_locations
Read-only- Permissions
customer_locations:read,customers:read- REST equivalent
GET /public/v1/customers/{customer_id}/locations- Safe retries
- Reads only; safe to repeat
fieldtask_list_customer_locations lets an AI client list one customer's service locations, page by page. It's how the client finds the location for a job: it first finds the customer with fieldtask_list_customers, then lists that customer's locations and matches the name or address you mention.
Same checks and results as REST GET /public/v1/customers/{customer_id}/locations.
Permissions
| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
|---|---|
customer_locations:read | Depends on customers:read |
customers:read | No dependencies |
Without these permissions the client can't see any locations. FieldTask instructs it to explain the missing permission rather than treat the customer as having no locations.
Example prompts
| You ask | What the client typically does |
|---|---|
| "Where does Example Property Services have sites?" | Finds the customer, then lists its locations. |
| "Create a job at Example Property Services' Main office." | Lists the customer's locations and matches Main office before calling fieldtask_create_job with its location_id. |
| "Create a job for Example Property Services" when the customer has no locations | Gets an empty list, then asks you for the job site address before creating anything. |
Before creating a job without a location, FieldTask instructs the client to check the customer's saved locations, unless you've said you don't want one. If there are none, it asks for the job site address, creates the location and uses it for the job.
Arguments
customer_id is required. The client resolves it with fieldtask_list_customers or takes it from fieldtask_create_customer. There's no search by name or address, and no external_reference lookup for locations.
Arguments for fieldtask_list_customer_locations. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.
customer_idstring (uuid)requiredResolve the customer by name/contact details with fieldtask_list_customers, or reuse data.id from fieldtask_create_customer. Do not ask the user to supply an ID.
cursorstringoptional1–4096 charactersordering"created_at" | "-created_at"optionaldefault "created_at"Oldest first (created_at) or newest first (-created_at). Keep unchanged when following a cursor.
page_sizeintegeroptionaldefault 25
Additional properties are rejected.
If the customer doesn't exist or was deleted, the call fails with resource_not_found. A customer with no locations returns an empty data list.
To read the next page, the client passes page.next_cursor back as cursor, keeping customer_id and the other arguments unchanged. A page can hold fewer locations than page_size, even when more exist, because FieldTask keeps each MCP result within a size limit. Rely on page.has_more.
Result
The result has data, a list of locations, and page. Each location has the same fields as in List customer locations (REST), including is_default, which marks the customer's default location.
Structured result of fieldtask_list_customer_locations (structuredContent).
