# checklists.list

Checklists on a job (all of them, job-level and per visit) or on one visit, with counts of open required items and sign-off state. Workers see the checklists of the jobs they can see.

|  |  |
|---|---|
| Who | Agents can call this |
| REST | `GET /v1/checklists` |
| MCP tool | `checklists_list` |
| Writes | no |
| Area | [Field work (checklists, forms, time, notes, change orders, subcontractors)](https://doingwork.work/docs/reference/#field-work-checklists-forms-time-notes-change-orders-subcontractors) |

## When to use it

Keep checklist templates (checklists.saveTemplate) and put a checklist on a job or on one visit (checklists.create). Required items gate done: visits.done refuses a visit with open required items or a missing sign-off, and jobs.complete refuses a job while its own checklists, or those of visits not yet done, are open.

## What to tell the owner

Tell them what you found in plain words. Don't read back raw fields.

## Input

| Field | Type | Required |
|---|---|---|
| `job_id` | string (uuid) | no |
