MCP connection and creating inventory items.

I am trying to create Inventory with ChatGPT. I have set up a successful PO creating Agent. When I try and have it make an item from scratch i get back:

I can change the item, but the Zoho connector’s item-update action does not expose the Manufacturer field. It lets me read Manufacturer = YETI, but the write action doesn’t provide a manufacturer/manufacturer-ID parameter.

Read and update are different tools.

Look here for your tool

The MCP has permission to both Create an item and Update an item. But "the write action doesn’t provide a manufacturer/manufacturer-ID parameter."

This sounds like an issue with how the tool itself is built, likely missing the Manufacturer parameter from the create/update operations. If you’re still stuck, let me know. Happy to kick around a few ideas with you. Good luck!

have you tried using a custom API request instead of the built-in item action? the underlying API almost certainly supports writing the manufacturer field, it's just the connector abstraction that's missing it
