Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Upper Route Planner MCP by usefulapi every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
upper
upper_assign_drivers
WRITE: assign one or more drivers (ids from upper_list_drivers) to a route, replacing the route's drivers. Every id must be an active driver on the team. If the route was already optimized it is reset to unoptimized (needs_optimization: true), so run upper_optimize_route again. POST /ext-assign-drivers.
upper_create_route
WRITE: create a new, empty route (name, date, optimization preference, units, pickup sequencing, service time). Omitted settings fall back to the account's defaults. Returns the new route_id; add stops with upper_create_stop. Calling it twice creates two routes. POST /ext-create-route.
upper_create_stop
WRITE: create a stop. The address is geocoded by Upper. Pass route_id to put it on a route (the route must not be active/in progress; an optimized route is flagged for re-optimization); omit it for an unscheduled stop. Calling it twice creates two stops. POST /ext-create-stop.
upper_get_capacity_fields
The workspace's five capacity-field slots (capacity1 - capacity5: label, unit, enabled) used for load planning. GET /ext-get-capacity-fields.
upper_get_custom_fields
The workspace's five stop custom-field slots (custom1 - custom5: type, label, enabled, required) and which are enabled. Needs the Custom fields feature in the Upper plan. GET /ext-get-custom-fields.
upper_get_optimization_status
Check whether a route is optimized: status is optimized, pending (still running) or not_optimized, plus the queue_id of the last job. Poll this after upper_optimize_route. GET /ext-optimization-status.
upper_list_drivers
List the active drivers on the Upper team that owns the API token: id, name, email and phone. Use the ids with upper_assign_drivers and upper_share_route_to_drivers. GET /ext-get-drivers.
upper_list_stops
List the team's stops in optimized order: address, coordinates, contact, time window, duration, status, route_id and custom ids. Pass route_id for one route (optionally scheduled=true/false); pass unscheduled=true (without route_id) for stops not on any route; with no filter all active stops are returned. Upper has no paging, so this tool pages locally: `limit` stops (default 100, max 500) starting at `offset`; the reply says if more remain (truncated, next_offset). GET /ext-get-stops.
upper_optimize_route
WRITE: start optimizing a route's stop order. The route needs at least one stop and one assigned driver (upper_assign_drivers). It runs asynchronously: this returns status pending and a queue_id, then poll upper_get_optimization_status. If a job is already running, that job is returned. POST /ext-optimize-route.
upper_share_route_to_drivers
WRITE: push a route to the drivers' mobile app NOW, which sends each driver a notification. Without driver_ids the route's assigned drivers are used; with them, every id must be an active driver on the team. Sending twice notifies twice. Confirm with the user before calling. POST /ext-share-to-driver.
upper_update_route
WRITE: change settings of an existing route (name, date, optimize_for, units, pickup_settings, service_time). Only the fields you pass change. POST /ext-update-route.
upper_update_stop
WRITE: change an existing stop; only the fields you pass change. A new address is re-geocoded (city/state/zipcode you pass with it are ignored); city/state/zipcode apply only without an address. Passing route_id moves the stop to that route. Editing a stop on an optimized route flags the route for re-optimization; stops on an active route cannot be edited. POST /ext-update-stop.
