Server tool list (5)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| search_retail_products | Search the queried retail source by free text or EAN. Returns CANDIDATE public records with deterministic match kinds and visible ambiguity: 'exact_public_record' / 'possible_match' / 'multiple_matches' / 'no_match_in_queried_source' — a no-match is never 'not sold', only 'not in the source we queried'. A provider without a search surface → 'unsupported'; outage → 'unavailable'; unconfigured source → 'not_configured' (costs nothing). Answers come from the queried source at the stated retrieval time — a UCP or ACP merchant, a partner catalog source, or a clearly-labelled synthetic fixture in dev/test; provenance.sourceAuthority names which, and every answer carries the markets that source declares. Preflight evidence only — this server never places, modifies or cancels an order and never touches a payment; the merchant stays merchant of record. |
| get_product_offer | Report one product's current offer from the queried source (price in integer minor units, availability, provenance) — or, given a merchant host plus the merchant's own itemId, prepare/re-check NORMALIZED CHECKOUT EVIDENCE over the merchant's declared UCP/ACP checkout data: items, currency, subtotal, discount, tax, fees, shipping, total, fulfillment, policy links, expiry and an evidence hash, with bounded truth states 'verified' / 'changed' / 'unsupported' / 'unavailable' / 'unverified'. Pass priorEvidence (component hashes from an earlier answer) to detect price/stock/shipping/terms changes between preparation and re-check. 'verified' means fetched, parsed and internally consistent — never 'safe', never 'approved', never a guarantee the merchant honors the quote. A price is never guessed. Answers come from the queried source at the stated retrieval time — a UCP or ACP merchant, a partner catalog source, or a clearly-labelled synthetic fixture in dev/test; provenance.sourceAuthority names which, and every answer carries the markets that source declares. Preflight evidence only — this server never places, modifies or cancels an order and never touches a payment; the merchant stays merchant of record. |
| compare_product_offers | Compare current offers for 2–5 EANs as a VALUE TABLE ordered by a stated criterion (price ascending). One unreadable offer makes the whole table 'unavailable' — no partial table is sold as a comparison. A table, never a ranking sold as advice, never a 'best product'. Answers come from the queried source at the stated retrieval time — a UCP or ACP merchant, a partner catalog source, or a clearly-labelled synthetic fixture in dev/test; provenance.sourceAuthority names which, and every answer carries the markets that source declares. Preflight evidence only — this server never places, modifies or cancels an order and never touches a payment; the merchant stays merchant of record. |
| build_affiliate_buy_link | Return the provider's OFFICIAL product link for a record — no network call, nothing ordered, never a checkout-completion URL. A HUMAN clicks it; any commission accrues at the provider's own partner programme, never through this server. 'ready' when the provider publishes a link; 'unsupported' when it does not; truthful 'not_configured' (costs nothing) without a provider. Preflight evidence only — this server never places, modifies or cancels an order and never touches a payment; the merchant stays merchant of record. |
| get_commerce_readiness | One plain state of THIS server: which commerce provider is configured, which protocols this deployment speaks (UCP profile discovery + negotiation; the ACP REST checkout format), what each protocol still needs before live evidence exists, and the affiliate state. 'ready' / 'not_configured'. Truthful self-description, never a claim about any merchant. Preflight evidence only — this server never places, modifies or cancels an order and never touches a payment; the merchant stays merchant of record. |
