Frequently asked questions
Can I check the inventory of a specific material variant?
Yes, use the get_inventory_by_variant tool with the unique variant ID to see current stock levels and availability in real-time.
Is it possible to list all current manufacturing orders?
Absolutely. The list_manufacturing_orders tool retrieves a list of all production jobs, helping you track shop floor activities.
Can I see my customer list via the agent?
Yes, the list_customers tool provides access to your customer database, making it easy to reference customer IDs for new sales orders.
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?
