It gives your agent 125 Toast actions (101 reads, 20 writes and 4 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Toast credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Toast's limits and records every call. [Connect Toast free](https://actionlake.com/console?start=sandbox) [See pricing](https://actionlake.com/pricing) 100,000 free calls a month.

Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us. `https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp` 2. 02 ### Connect Toast. Session login. actionlake opens the session and renews it when it expires. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key. - `client_id` Toast API client ID (Toast Web > Integrations > Toast API access > Manage credentials, or issued to a partner by Toast) - `client_secret` Toast API client secret - `host` Where your Toast lives: your host - `restaurant_guid` Your Toast restaurant guid ``` account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "toast_pos" } # free: exactly what to paste, and what is found for you ``` 3. 03 ### Make the first call. Check before a write. Ask in plain words; Claude picks the action. Before anything changes, `check` validates the call and prices it, for free. ``` do { action: "toast_pos.employees.list" } # get employees · read · 1 upstream call check { action: "toast_pos.employees.create", input: { … } } # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent ``` Toast at a glance **Sign-in** Session login. actionlake opens the session and renews it when it expires. **You provide** `client_id` `client_secret` **Setup fields** `host` `restaurant_guid` **Limits we pace to** 600 calls a minute, per connection **API covered** Toast POS (restaurant platform APIs) API Toast platform APIs as published at doc.toasttab.com/openapi (fetched 2026-10-22): orders v2, configuration v2, menus v2/v3, labor v1, analytics (ERA) v1, cash management v1, kitchen v1, stock v1, partners v1, restaurants v1, packaging v1, device details v1, order management configuration v1, restaurant availability v1, credit card partner v1`ws-api.toasttab.com` **Built from** Toast's documentation, read 22 October 2026[doc.toasttab.com](https://doc.toasttab.com/toast-api-specifications/toast-orders-api.yaml) [doc.toasttab.com](https://doc.toasttab.com/toast-api-specifications/toast-config-api.yaml) [doc.toasttab.com](https://doc.toasttab.com/toast-api-specifications/toast-labor-api.yaml) **Service file** Version 1.0.0, signed (Ed25519) **Cached reads** 88 of 101 reads, for up to 5 minutes; a write clears what it affects **Shared entities** 6, so ask can line Toast up with your other systems **Data** Processed and stored in Sydney, Australia.

These are all of them: - Delete an employee `toast_pos.employees.delete` - Delete a shift `toast_pos.shifts.delete` - Void an order `toast_pos.orders.void` - Authorize a credit card `toast_pos.credit_cards.authorize_payment` A destructive action runs only with `confirm: true`. Under the `human` policy the agent cannot confirm for itself: the run stops until a named person approves, in the console or from a signed link in an email. The cap on a key is refused before the call is sent, never after. do toast_pos.employees.delete confirm_policy: **human** Delete an employee? **intent:** the user asked me to delete an employee run suspended · waiting for a named person · key _toast-pos-agent_ cannot confirm itself In the console, or from an emailed signed link. a key for this connector ``` account { op: "keys.create", name: "toast-pos-agent", allowed_actions: ["toast_pos.*"], cap_calls: 2000, confirm_policy: "human_for_writes", approval_rules: [ { match: "toast_pos.employees.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "toast_pos.shifts.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "toast_pos.orders.void", approver: "lead@example.com" } ] } ``` Illustrative.

Plus your host and your restaurant guid. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "toast_pos" } lists exactly what to paste. **Can an AI agent delete or change things in Toast?** Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 4 Toast actions are destructive, including delete an employee, delete a shift and void an order. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it. **Will an AI agent use up my Toast API limit?** actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Toast service file: 600 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (88 Toast actions can be), which never reaches Toast. **What does a Toast action cost?** One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (125 Toast actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Toast refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000. **Which Toast API does it cover?** The Toast POS (restaurant platform APIs) API Toast platform APIs as published at doc.toasttab.com/openapi (fetched 2026-10-22): orders v2, configuration v2, menus v2/v3, labor v1, analytics (ERA) v1, cash management v1, kitchen v1, stock v1, partners v1, restaurants v1, packaging v1, device details v1, order management configuration v1, restaurant availability v1, credit card partner v1 at ws-api.toasttab.com by default, or the base URL set when you connect. It is built from Toast's documentation as read on 22 October 2026. 125 actions in 43 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0). **Does actionlake keep my Toast data, and where?** actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to 5 minutes, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your Toast credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models. **Which AI clients can use it?** Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names. ## More connectors like Toast Shares the most action names with - [Clover 19](https://actionlake.com/connectors/clover) - [Lightspeed Restaurant (K-Series) 12](https://actionlake.com/connectors/lightspeed-restaurant-k-series) - [7shifts 12](https://actionlake.com/connectors/7shifts) - [Deputy 10](https://actionlake.com/connectors/deputy) - [When I Work 10](https://actionlake.com/connectors/when-i-work) - [Planday 9](https://actionlake.com/connectors/planday) Joins with, on shared entities - [HaloPSA 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/halopsa) - [BigCommerce 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/bigcommerce) - [Adobe Commerce 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/adobe-commerce) - [Epos Now 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/epos-now) - [Shopify Admin 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/shopify-admin) - [Lightspeed Retail X-Series 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/lightspeed-retail-x-series) Browse - [All Accounting & finance connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors/category/accounting-and-finance) - [All connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors) - [How actionlake compares](https://actionlake.com/compare) actionlake is independent.
