Overview
The Aspire integration gives your agents read-only access to your Aspire field-service-management tenant. Agents can query Properties, Opportunities, Work Tickets, Invoices, Contacts, Companies, Routes, Services, and the rest of Aspire’s data via OData filters — to answer operational questions, reconcile records, and feed analysis, without ever modifying anything in Aspire. The integration is read-only by design for the initial release: the underlying client only exposesGET, so agents cannot create, update, or delete Aspire records.
This is Aspire by youraspire.com (landscape & field service management) — not Microsoft .NET Aspire and not the Aspire fintech product.
Prerequisites
- An Aspire account with API access
- An Aspire Client ID and Secret, generated under Account Settings > API Keys in Aspire
- An Aster admin to connect the integration (the connection is shared org-wide)
Setup Guide
Generate API credentials in Aspire
In Aspire, go to Account Settings > API Keys and create a key. Copy the Client ID and Secret.
Connect Aspire in Aster Agents
Navigate to Control Hub > Integrations, locate the Aspire card, click Connect, and paste the Client ID and Secret. Aster validates them against Aspire (token exchange + a tenant lookup) and echoes back your tenant’s legal name on success. Aster handles token exchange and refresh from there.
Available Tools
- Aspire Get Schema (
aspire_get_schema) — Introspects Aspire’s live OpenAPI spec to discover the available resource collections and their fields. Agents call this first to look up collection and field names instead of hard-coding them. - Aspire Query (
aspire_query) — OData-style read against any whitelisted Aspire collection (Properties,Opportunities,WorkTickets,Invoices,Contacts,Companies,Jobs,Services, …). Supports$select,$filter,$expand,$orderby, and$top/$skippaging. Auto-paginates up to a configurable row cap; large result sets spill to a CSV attachment while the inline payload is truncated to a token budget, so big pulls don’t balloon the agent’s context.
Read-only. This release exposes reads only — agents cannot create, update, or delete Aspire records. The HTTP client only permits
GET; write capability is intentionally not wired up.Example Prompts
Once connected, agents can answer questions like:- “List active Opportunities over $5,000, newest first.”
- “How many open Work Tickets do we have by Route this week?”
- “Pull every Property for the Smith account with its service plan.”
- “Export all Invoices from last quarter for analysis.” (the full set spills to a CSV the agent can process in Python)
Notes & Limitations
- Read-only — no writes in this release, by design.
- Page size cap — Aspire hard-caps
$topat 1000 rows server-side; the tool auto-paginates to reach larger totals. - No webhooks — Aspire has no push/webhook mechanism, so agents poll. For scheduled monitoring, match your task cadence to how fresh you need the data.
- Single environment — Aspire has no sandbox; credentials point at your live tenant. Because the integration is read-only, that’s safe by construction.
Security Considerations
- Org-level connection — one admin connects once for the whole organization. The Secret and tokens are stored server-side and redacted when the connection is read back in the UI.
- Read-only by construction — the client cannot mutate your Aspire tenant.
- Grant the Aspire tools only to agents that need them.
- Rotate credentials periodically from Aspire’s API Keys screen and reconnect.
Troubleshooting
Connection rejected on setup
Connection rejected on setup
- Double-check the Client ID and Secret were copied exactly from Account Settings > API Keys in Aspire.
- Confirm API access is enabled on your Aspire account.
A query returns no rows
A query returns no rows
- Run Aspire Get Schema to confirm the exact collection name and field names — they’re case-sensitive OData identifiers.
- Loosen your
$filter; an over-narrow expression can legitimately match nothing.
Large pull feels slow or truncated inline
Large pull feels slow or truncated inline
- Aspire pages at 1000 rows, so big collections take several sequential calls. The full set is written to a CSV attachment; the inline preview is intentionally truncated to keep the agent’s context small. Have the agent process the CSV (e.g. in
execute_python) rather than reading every row inline.

- Execute Python — process large Aspire result sets (the CSV spillover attachment) with pandas.
