Tools

• parsley_create_event ~680 tokens
  WRITE: create an event (a workday, shift, service or catering event) in Parsley with its menu items. This changes the account's production plan and is NOT idempotent: calling it twice creates two events. Returns the new event id. Use parsley_list_events first to avoid duplicates. POST /events.
• parsley_get_event ~121 tokens
  One event with its metadata and all line items (menu item, amount, unit, station, section). GET /events/{id}.
• parsley_get_ingredient ~177 tokens
  One ingredient in full: unit conversions, supported units, tags, the supply options (supplier, SKU, pack size, cost) used for costing and the preparations with yield. Parsley limits this call to 1 request every 3 seconds, so fetch ingredients one at a time. GET /ingredients/{id}.
• parsley_get_menu ~118 tokens
  One menu with its sections and the menu items in each section, and its serving stations. GET /menus/{id}.
• parsley_get_menu_item ~181 tokens
  One menu item in full: names, description, price, cost, shelf life, serving size, nutrition facts (nutrients), the allergen flags and allergen text, dietary characteristics (meat, pork, corn, poultry) and the ingredient list. The photo link is returned without its access token. GET /menu_items/{id}.
• parsley_list_chef_tags ~158 tokens
  List the chef tags (id, name) that recipes are attributed to. Only meaningful for accounts with Chef IDs enabled. GET /tags/chefs.
• parsley_list_chef_users ~225 tokens
  List the chef users of the account: id, email, join date, active flag, permission level and the chef tag they are tied to. Only meaningful for accounts with Chef IDs enabled. GET /users/chefs.
• parsley_list_events ~350 tokens
  List events (a workday, shift, service or catering event) that fall in a date window: id, name, type (standard, cafe-hot-bar, sale, forecast), date, start and end time, menu id. A bare date means the whole day in the account timezone. GET /events.
• parsley_list_ingredients ~262 tokens
  List the ingredients that can be used in recipes: id, parent id, name, label name, item number, supported units, and whether a recipe uses it. The API returns the whole list at once; search/limit/offset slice it here. GET /ingredients.
• parsley_list_menu_items ~331 tokens
  List the recipes, sub-recipes and ingredients in the Parsley account that can be used on events: id, name, item number, price, tags, active flag, chef and last-modified time. Use the ids with parsley_get_menu_item for nutrition, allergens and ingredients, and on events. The API returns the whole lis
• parsley_list_menus ~200 tokens
  List the menus (menu plans) in the account: id, name and last-modified time. Use the id with parsley_get_menu or when creating an event. GET /menus.
• parsley_list_serving_stations ~158 tokens
  List the serving stations (id, name) that menu items and event line items can be assigned to. GET /tags/serving_stations.
• parsley_record_event_sales ~462 tokens
  WRITE: push sold quantities per menu item to a cafe/hot bar event, which feeds Parsley's cost and usage reports. Other event types are refused by Parsley, as is a menu item with no made quantity on the event. Sending the same quantities again overwrites rather than adds. PUT /events/{id}/sales.
• parsley_record_waste_leftover ~478 tokens
  WRITE: push waste and/or leftover quantities per menu item to a cafe/hot bar event. If no sold quantity exists, Parsley derives it as made minus waste minus leftover. Parsley refuses amounts above what was made minus sold. Sending the same quantities again overwrites rather than adds. PUT /events/{i
• parsley_update_event_covers ~223 tokens
  WRITE: set the forecast and/or actual number of covers (guests served) on an event. Only the fields you pass change. actual_covers works only on cafe/hot bar events. Setting the same values again has no further effect. PATCH /events/{id}.
