What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

• sortly_list_items

  List items and folders, newest first. By default the root level; pass folder_id for a folder's direct contents, plus include_subfolders for everything nested under it. Paginated via meta.next_page_url / total_pages. Sortly: GET /api/v1/items.

• sortly_get_item

  Fetch a single item or folder by numeric id: quantity, min_quantity, price, tags, sid, barcodes, and optionally custom field values and photos. Sortly: GET /api/v1/items/{item_id}.

• sortly_search_items

  Search items and folders by name, optionally limited to items or folders and scoped to specific folders. Read-only despite being a POST. Paginated: send the same arguments with the next page number. Sortly: POST /api/v1/items/search.

• sortly_list_recently_updated_items

  List items and folders changed since a Unix timestamp — the incremental-sync read ('what moved since yesterday?'). Without updated_since it behaves like sortly_list_items. Sortly: GET /api/v1/items/recent.

• sortly_list_custom_fields

  List the account's custom fields (id, name, type, applies_to). Call this before writing custom_attribute_values to get the right custom_attribute_id. Sortly: GET /api/v1/custom_fields.

• sortly_list_units

  List the units of measure available to the account (unit_name, unit_type, scale) — the values measured_quantity and purchase-order lines expect. Sortly: GET /api/v1/units.

• sortly_list_alerts

  List stock (Quantity) and date (DateReminder) alerts, with is_fired showing which have already triggered — the quick way to find low-stock items. Sortly: GET /api/v1/alerts.

• sortly_list_jobs

  List jobs (work orders that pull stock out), most recently updated first, filterable by name prefix and status. Paginated via meta.pagination.has_next. Sortly: GET /api/v1/jobs.

• sortly_get_job

  Fetch a single job: status, folder_id (where its pulled items sit), dates, notes, custom field values and the version needed for updates. Sortly: GET /api/v1/jobs/{job_id}.

• sortly_list_purchase_orders

  List purchase orders, most recently updated first, filterable by PO number and status. The list leaves out notes, terms, sub_total and line_items — use sortly_get_purchase_order for those. Needs Purchase Orders on the plan (else 402). Sortly: GET /api/v1/purchase_orders.

• sortly_get_purchase_order

  Fetch a single purchase order with its line_items (quantity vs received_quantity), vendor, addresses, charges, totals and version. Sortly: GET /api/v1/purchase_orders/{purchase_order_id}.

• sortly_get_purchase_order_receive_status

  Report the most recent receive against a purchase order: pending / completed / failed, with the line ids received, pending and failed (and why). Returns 404 until something has been received. Sortly: GET /api/v1/purchase_orders/{purchase_order_id}/receive/status.

• sortly_create_item

  Create a trackable item (type item) or a folder (type folder), optionally inside a folder via parent_id, with quantity, price, tags, custom fields, barcodes and a measured quantity. WRITE. Sortly: POST /api/v1/items.

• sortly_update_item

  Change fields on an existing item or folder — e.g. set a new quantity after a stock count, rename it, or relocate a folder via parent_id. Only the fields you pass change; pass null to clear a nullable field. Sending tags or custom_attribute_values replaces them. WRITE. Sortly: PU

• sortly_move_item

  Move some or all of an item's quantity to another folder (items only — relocate a folder with sortly_update_item parent_id). A partial move splits off a new item with the same sid; a full move relocates the item; a matching item at the destination is merged, and the returned id i

• sortly_create_alert

  Create a stock alert on an item (type Quantity, e.g. threshold_method quantity_less_than with threshold_value 5, or less_than_or_equal_to_min_quantity), or a DateReminder on a datetime custom field (custom_attribute_id + before/after/same_day + threshold_interval). WRITE. Sortly:

• sortly_create_job

  Create a job (and its job folder) in not_started status. Name must be unique in the company. Then use sortly_pull_items_into_job to record the stock it uses. WRITE. Sortly: POST /api/v1/jobs.

• sortly_pull_items_into_job

  Move quantities of existing items (from any folders) into a job's folder — how usage on a job is recorded. Up to 100 items per call; items are processed independently, so ALWAYS check data.errors (a partial failure still returns 200). Undo with sortly_return_items_from_job. Retur

• sortly_return_items_from_job

  Move items off a job's folder back into inventory (destination_folder_id, or All Items if omitted). Up to 100 per call; check data.errors — items are processed one by one. WRITE. Sortly: POST /api/v1/jobs/{job_id}/items/return.

• sortly_create_purchase_order

  Create a purchase order in draft status (no stock or ordering happens until it is moved on in Sortly). Sortly computes amounts, sub_total and total from the lines; omit purchase_order_number to have one generated. Needs Purchase Orders on the plan (else 402). WRITE. Sortly: POST
