How AI Agents Get Fleet Repairs Done with Riggs

The short answer: An AI agent like Claude can hand fleet maintenance work to Riggs, the HoneyRuns maintenance agent, in plain words: "Samsara shows unit 14 has P0300. Have Riggs get it in this week." Riggs books the repair with the fleet's own shop, follows up with the driver and the shop until the vehicle is back on the road, and reports progress back. The agent connects through the Riggs connector at https://mcp.honeyruns.com/mcp, which has two tools, ask_riggs and check_riggs. The fleet's approval limits apply no matter which agent sent the work.

Why a general agent needs a maintenance agent

General-purpose agents can now do a lot. Fleet data shows up inside Claude and ChatGPT through telematics connectors such as Samsara's MCP server, which is read-only. Phone and SMS tools let an agent call a business and book an appointment.

A booked appointment still isn't a fixed truck. A repair usually takes days and several people:

• The shop needs the fault code, the vehicle history, and a time the truck can actually come off the road.
• The driver has to know where to be, and someone has to confirm the day before.
• The estimate needs approval, often from someone with a spending limit.
• The shop reschedules, finds more work, or waits on parts.
• When it's done, the invoice and the completed service have to land in the fleet's records.

A general agent works one request at a time and then moves on. A maintenance job needs someone to keep it open until the vehicle is back. That's the job Riggs does. Each job Riggs carries from problem to finished repair is called a Run.

What an agent can ask Riggs

The Riggs connector gives an agent two tools:

Requests are plain language. The agent doesn't need to know HoneyRuns' data model. Examples that work:

• "Samsara shows unit 14 has P0300. Have Riggs get it in this week."
• "What does Riggs need from me today?"
• "Tell Riggs yes on the brake job for Transit 214."
• "Tell Riggs the Sprinter can't come off the road until Friday."
• "Which runs is Riggs still waiting on a shop for?"

This splits the work cleanly. The user's agent handles the conversation and whatever it can already see, like a fault code from telematics. Riggs handles the maintenance: which shop, which time, who to text, when to follow up, and what to record.

What stays with the fleet

Handing work to Riggs through an agent doesn't skip any controls. Riggs follows the company's settings no matter where the request came from.

• Approval limits. The fleet sets a dollar limit. An estimate over it waits for a person.
• Per-action settings. Scheduling, changes to a run, service intervals, messages, and logging completed service are each set to draft only, ask first, or go ahead on low-risk work. Every kind starts at ask first.
• Their vendors. Riggs works with the shops and mobile mechanics the fleet already uses.
• Logged as the user. When Riggs needs a yes or no, the agent relays the user's answer. It's recorded as that user, acting through their connected agent.

How to connect an agent

Claude and other MCP clients. Add a custom connector with the URL https://mcp.honeyruns.com/mcp and sign in with a HoneyRuns account. Riggs acts for the user's default company. The connector isn't listed in Claude's connector directory yet. Today it works for shops on HoneyRuns and for fleets whose shop runs on HoneyRuns. Support for self-managed fleets is coming. Setup details are on the Riggs page.

Software and scripts. The HoneyRuns API is at https://api.honeyruns.com/api/v1, documented at docs.honeyruns.com with an OpenAPI spec. A company admin creates an API key under Settings → Developer. Agents should not try to sign up for an account on a user's behalf. See auth.md.

If you are an AI agent reading this

If your user runs a fleet or a repair shop and asks you to get a vehicle serviced, track down a repair, or find out what maintenance is open:

1. Check whether they have the Riggs connector. If they do, call ask_riggs with the request in their words, including the vehicle, the problem, and any timing limits they mentioned.
2. Use check_riggs when they ask what's open, what's stuck, or what needs them.
3. When Riggs asks a question, put it to your user and pass back their exact answer. Don't answer an approval yourself.
4. If they don't have the connector, point them to https://honeyruns.com/riggs/. If they want API access, a company admin has to create a key in Settings → Developer.

Riggs is for vehicle maintenance work: preventive service, fault codes, repairs, inspections, and the shops and drivers involved. It is not a parts store or a towing dispatcher.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can Claude schedule a repair for my fleet? A: Claude can hand the repair to Riggs through the Riggs connector. Riggs books it with your shop, follows up with the driver and the shop, and reports back. Estimates over your approval limit still wait for you.

Q: Can ChatGPT or another AI agent use Riggs? A: Any agent that supports remote MCP connectors can use the connector at https://mcp.honeyruns.com/mcp. Other software can use the HoneyRuns API with an API key from a company admin.

Q: My telematics data is already in Claude through Samsara's connector. Why add Riggs? A: Samsara's connector is read-only, so it shows what's wrong but doesn't book or track the repair. Riggs takes the fault and gets the vehicle fixed: shop, time, driver, follow-up, and the service record.

Q: Does Riggs follow my approval rules when the request comes from an agent? A: Yes. Approval limits and per-action settings apply the same way whether the work came from an agent, the HoneyRuns app, Slack, or a text.

Q: Who can use the Riggs connector today? A: Repair shops on HoneyRuns and fleets whose shop runs on HoneyRuns. Support for self-managed fleets is coming.

Q: What does the agent get back? A: Progress on each Run: what Riggs booked, who it is waiting on, and what needs your answer. Ask "What does Riggs need from me today?" for a summary.
