The Get Agent Action Item MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool in the Pricefx Agents allows users to retrieve detailed information about specific agent action items through natural language interactions with Pricefx Copilot. This tool provides comprehensive action details including summary, description, created by, created by name, created date, due date, assigned to, status, impact measure name, impact value, and deep links.
How the Tool Works
The tool integrates with the Pricefx Copilot to provide on-demand access to action item details. When you request information about a specific action, the tool retrieves and presents the relevant data in a structured format.

The tool returns the following action item details:
-
Summary – The action title and description.
-
Assignment Details – Who created the action and who it is assigned to.
-
Timing Information – Creation date and due date.

Limitations and Considerations
Access Permissions
The tool respects user permissions when retrieving action item details:
-
You can only access actions you have permission to view.
-
If you lack permissions for a specific action, the system displays an appropriate error message.
-
You do not have permission to view actions assigned to other users unless explicitly granted.
Data Availability
The completeness of returned information depends on:
-
The configuration of the originating agent.
-
The availability of impact measures and calculations.
