Frequently asked questions
Can I create a new work shift through the agent?
Yes. Use the create_shift tool and provide the employee ID, start/end times, and location ID. Your agent will add the shift to the 7shifts schedule immediately.
How do I list all restaurant locations?
Use the list_locations tool. Your agent will retrieve all restaurant locations, departments, and roles configured in your 7shifts account.
Can I see who is currently requesting time off?
Absolutely. Use the list_time_off tool to retrieve all pending and approved time-off requests from your staff for auditing purposes.
How does Pydantic AI discover MCP tools?

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.
