customers:read,invoices:read- REST equivalent
GET /public/v1/invoices- Safe retries
- Reads only; safe to repeat
fieldtask_list_invoices lets an AI client list the invoices in your organization, page by page, with their totals, paid amounts and balances. It's how the client answers questions such as "which invoices are unpaid?" and finds an invoice before reading its items with fieldtask_get_invoice.
Listing invoices never changes them. No FieldTask tool sends an invoice, records a payment or collects money.
Same checks and results as REST GET /public/v1/invoices.
Permissions
| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
|---|---|
customers:read | No dependencies |
invoices:read | Depends on customers:read |
The tool is offered only when invoicing is enabled for your organization.
Example prompts
| You ask | What the client typically does |
|---|---|
| "Which invoices are still unpaid?" | Calls the tool with status: "unpaid", which covers sent and partly paid invoices, and follows the pages. |
| "Show unpaid October invoices for Example Property Services, with their balances." | Finds the customer with fieldtask_list_customers, then calls this tool with customer_id, status: "unpaid", issued_from: "2026-10-01" and issued_to: "2026-10-31". |
| "List this month's draft invoices." | Calls it with status: "draft" and an issued_from/issued_to range. |
Arguments

Arguments for fieldtask_list_invoices. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

issued_tostring (date)optionalInclusive invoice issue date.

Additional properties are rejected.
To read the next page, the client passes page.next_cursor back as cursor, keeping the other arguments unchanged. A page can hold fewer invoices than page_size so that it fits in an MCP response; page.has_more is still true when more remain.
Result
The result has data, a list of invoices, and page. Each invoice has its number, status, customer, dates and amounts, but not its items, taxes or discount. Those come from fieldtask_get_invoice.
Amounts are decimal strings in currency:
total_amountis the total including tax, before the invoice discount.discounted_amountis the final invoice total.paid_amountis the sum of payments recorded in FieldTask.balanceisdiscounted_amountminuspaid_amount, and can be negative.
See the field descriptions for the rest.
