    Server tool list (5)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    global_searchUse this when a user wants to find or compare product candidates across participating WooCommerce merchants. Search with q and/or a canonical category leaf; results contain snapshot price and stock, match evidence, provenance, and merchant Bridge handoff links. Do not use this as final price, variant, stock, checkout, or payment authority; verify the selected offer through its handoff.
    lookup_merchantUse this when the user already knows a merchant domain and needs to check whether it publishes a KaliCart Bridge catalog, its latest observed access state, or its federation consent. This tool only reads the Global registry and never probes or modifies the merchant. Do not use it to discover products; use global_search instead.
    get_productUse this after global_search when the selected candidate needs indexed details that are not already on its search card. The p2209_id must come from global_search. This remains a snapshot, not live merchant verification; follow the returned handoff before confirming variant, price, or stock. Skip this call when the search card already answers the question.
    list_merchantsUse this to inspect which WooCommerce merchants currently participate in the searchable KaliCart Global catalog and how much catalog coverage each contributes. It returns stable merchant identifiers, domains, storefront URLs, product counts, and sync time. Do not use it to find products; use global_search instead.
    list_categoriesUse this to discover the canonical category paths currently represented in KaliCart Global before calling global_search with leaf. An optional parent returns that node and its full subtree. This lists category vocabulary and counts; it does not return products.
