# visits.steps

The guided visit steps for a visit, each done, skipped, or open, and the next one to suggest. Walk the worker through them in conversation; they are loose, and any step can be skipped.

| Who | Agents can call this |
| REST | `GET /v1/visits/steps` |
| MCP tool | `visits_steps` |
| Writes | no |
| Area | [Scheduling and visits](https://doingwork.work/docs/reference/#scheduling-and-visits) |

## 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 |
|---|---|---|
| `visit_id` | string (uuid) | yes |

## Example

```http
GET https://doingwork.work/v1/visits/steps?visit_id=00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000000
```

| `steps[].marked_at` | ['string', 'null', ' ', '(', 'd', 'a', 't', 'e', '-', 't', 'i', 'm', 'e', ')'] | yes |
| `next_step` | ['object', 'null'] | yes |
