- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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: POST /api/v1/alerts.
```

### `sortly_create_item`

- The name "sortly_create_item" says "create": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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_create_job`

- The name "sortly_create_job" says "create": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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_create_purchase_order`

- The name "sortly_create_purchase_order" says "create": a word for a change.
- The name "sortly_create_purchase_order" also says "purchase": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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 /api/v1/purchase_orders.
```

### `sortly_move_item`

- The name "sortly_move_item" says "move": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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 is the destination's. Undo by moving it back. WRITE. Sortly: POST /api/v1/items/{item_id}/move.
```

### `sortly_pull_items_into_job`

- The description's first verb is "move": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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. Returns 403 on a completed job. WRITE. Sortly: POST /api/v1/jobs/{job_id}/items.
```

### `sortly_return_items_from_job`

- The description's first verb is "move": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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_update_item`

- The name "sortly_update_item" says "update": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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: PUT /api/v1/items/{item_id} (returns 204).
```

## Only reads (12)

Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow.

```

### `sortly_get_job`
