fieldtask_list_jobs
Read-only- Permission
jobs:read- REST equivalent
GET /public/v1/jobs- Safe retries
- Reads only; safe to repeat
fieldtask_list_jobs lets an AI client list the jobs in your organization, page by page. It's how the client answers questions such as "what's on today?" and finds a job by name before reading or changing anything related to it.
Same checks and results as REST GET /public/v1/jobs.
Permissions
| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
|---|---|
jobs:read | No dependencies |
The customer, location and assignee fields in each job need customers:read, customer_locations:read and members:read respectively. Without them the client still gets the job but not those summaries.
Example prompts
| You ask | What the client typically does |
|---|---|
| "What jobs are scheduled today?" | Calls the tool with scheduled_date: "today" and follows the pages. The result's page.schedule_filter shows which date and time zone FieldTask used. |
| "Show jobs for 10 November." | Calls it with scheduled_date: "2026-11-10". |
| "Find the job for Example Property Services' rooftop inspection." | Lists jobs, newest first, and matches by name and customer. It asks you to choose if several match. |
For daily questions, FieldTask instructs the client to use scheduled_date rather than scanning all jobs. The day is interpreted in your organization's time zone, and jobs that overlap the day, including overnight jobs, are included. Unscheduled jobs aren't.
Arguments
All arguments are optional. Use at most one of scheduled_date and external_reference; external_reference can't be combined with any other argument.
Arguments for fieldtask_list_jobs. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.
cursorstringoptional1–4096 charactersexternal_referencestringoptionalExact case-sensitive reference for this organization and application. Exclusive query mode: cannot be combined with other arguments.
1–128 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 25scheduled_datestringoptionalUse 'today' or YYYY-MM-DD in the organization's timezone. Returns jobs whose stored start/end interval overlaps that day, including overnight and anytime jobs. Unscheduled jobs and missing/invalid intervals are excluded; recurrence is not expanded. Use this for daily reports instead of scanning job history. Keep unchanged across pages.
Pattern^(today|[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2})$
Additional properties are rejected.
To read the next page, the client passes page.next_cursor back as cursor, keeping the other arguments unchanged.
Result
The result has data, a list of jobs, and page. Each job has the same fields as in List jobs (REST).
Structured result of fieldtask_list_jobs (structuredContent).
