MCP Tool Reference
The EquipDash MCP server provides 114 tools organized by domain. Each tool maps to a specific operation on your EquipDash data.
How Tools are Organized
Tools are grouped into domains that mirror the sections of your EquipDash dashboard. For example, the Bookings domain contains tools for listing, creating, and managing bookings -- the same operations you'd perform in the Bookings section of the portal.
Tool Naming Conventions
All tool names follow the pattern action_resource:
| Pattern | Examples |
|---|---|
list_* | list_bookings, list_products, list_customers |
get_* | get_booking, get_product, get_customer |
create_* | create_booking, create_product, create_customer |
update_* | update_booking, update_product, update_customer |
check_* | check_product_availability, check_experience_availability |
Permission Filtering
The tools available to your AI agent depend on the scopes granted to your API key. If your key only has bookings:read, the agent will only see read-only booking tools -- write tools like create_booking won't appear.
See MCP Authentication for the full scope-to-domain mapping.
Common Parameter Patterns
Many tools share common parameter patterns:
Date Formats
- Dates:
YYYY-MM-DD(e.g.,2026-03-15) - Datetimes:
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS(e.g.,2026-03-15 09:00:00) - Natural language dates are also accepted by many tools:
today,yesterday,this week
Pagination
List tools accept a limit parameter (default 10, max 50) to control how many results are returned. For full pagination, use the REST API.
Confirmation Pattern
Write operations that modify data use a two-step preview/confirm pattern:
- First call (without
user_confirmed): Returns a preview of what will happen - Second call (with
user_confirmed: true): Executes the operation
This prevents accidental changes and gives the user a chance to review before committing.
Search Parameters
Most list tools accept a search parameter for filtering by name, email, or other identifying fields.
Tool Annotations
Tools include MCP annotations that indicate their behavior:
| Annotation | Meaning |
|---|---|
readOnly | Tool only reads data, never modifies anything |
destructive | Tool deletes or cancels data (e.g., cancel_booking, delete_staff_shift) |
openWorld | Tool sends emails or notifications to external recipients |
