# shops.visitSteps

The shop's guided visit steps, in order: the eight defaults until the shop edits them.

|  |  |
|---|---|
| Who | Agents can call this |
| REST | `GET /v1/shops/visit-steps` |
| MCP tool | `shops_visitSteps` |
| Writes | no |
| Area | [Shop](https://doingwork.work/docs/reference/#shop) |

## When to use it

Use these when a worker is heading to, standing at, or just leaving a visit. Everything happens in conversation with the worker: there are no buttons for them to tap and no app to open.

## What to tell the owner

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

## Input

| Field | Type | Required |
|---|---|---|
| `shop_id` | string (uuid) | yes |

## Example

```http
GET https://doingwork.work/v1/shops/visit-steps?shop_id=00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000000
```

## Output

| Field | Type | Always there |
|---|---|---|
| `shop_id` | string (uuid) | yes |
| `custom` | boolean | yes |
| `steps` | array | yes |
| `steps[].key` | string | yes |
| `steps[].label` | string | yes |
| `steps[].op` | ['string', 'null'] | yes |

```json
{
  "shop_id": "00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000000",
  "custom": true,
  "steps": [
    {
      "key": "...",
      "label": "...",
      "op": "..."
    }
  ]
