Can I check the stock level of a specific item?

Yes! Use the `get_item` tool with the Item ID. Your agent will fetch the detailed information, including the current total quantity in stock.

How do I list my storage locations?

Simply ask the agent to `list_locations`. It will retrieve the directory of all active warehouses and zones.

Does the integration allow registering a new stock delivery?

Yes. Use the `create_transaction` tool with type 'IN' to log incoming stock, specifying the items and quantities.

BoxHero + Pydantic AI FAQ

Common questions about integrating BoxHero MCP Server with Pydantic AI.

How does Pydantic AI discover MCP tools?

Create an MCPServerHTTP instance with the server URL. Pydantic AI connects, discovers all tools, and generates typed Python interfaces automatically.

Does Pydantic AI validate MCP tool responses?

Yes. When you define result types as Pydantic models, every tool response is validated against the schema. Invalid data raises a clear error instead of silently corrupting your pipeline.

Can I switch LLM providers without changing MCP code?

Absolutely. Pydantic AI abstracts the model layer. your BoxHero MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
