# materials.list

Materials recorded on a job (or one visit), with the price and cost totals of those still counted. Prices show only with see_prices, costs only with see_costs; lines with no price or cost set are counted in unpriced_count and uncosted_count.

|---|---|
| Who | Agents can call this |
| REST | `GET /v1/materials` |
| MCP tool | `materials_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

Record what went into a job: materials.add from the price book (pricebook_item_id; its name, unit, price, cost and taxable are copied as they are today) or typed in, optionally on one visit. Afterwards only the quantity, visit and notes change (materials.update); for anything else remove it (materials.remove keeps it in history with who and why) and add it again.

## What to tell the owner

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