# visits.done

Mark a visit done, with an optional note. The worker on the visit (or the office) can do this. A visit not yet started is started too. Refused with checklist_open while a checklist on the visit has required items open or a sign-off missing; the owner, signed in on the hosted override page (/p/checklist/override), may pass override_reason to mark it done anyway (recorded and audited). Agents, keys and office staff cannot override.

|  |  |
|---|---|
| Who | Agents can call this |
| REST | `POST /v1/visits/done` |
| MCP tool | `visits_done` |
| Writes | yes, send an Idempotency-Key |
| Area | [Scheduling and visits](https://doingwork.work/docs/reference/#scheduling-and-visits) |

## When to use it

Read schedule.settings first: it has the shop's time zone, working hours, arrival window and buffer. Use schedule.findTime to get open times that fit the shop's hours, each worker's hours and time off, and visits already booked with the buffer around them, then book with visits.create.

## What to tell the owner

Say what you did in plain words and what happens next.

## Input

| Field | Type | Required |
|---|---|---|
| `visit_id` | string (uuid) | yes |
| `note` | string | no |
| `override_reason` | string | no |

## Example

```http
POST https://doingwork.work/v1/visits/done
content-type: application/json
Idempotency-Key: 3f1c...

{
  "visit_id": "00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000000"
}
```
