Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| get_pricing | Get a live price quote for a Premier Letters order. Pass char_count (or letter_count for a rough estimate) plus optional mailing_option and paper_type to get a per-piece and total price, in cents. No account needed. Orders under 5 pieces carry a $0.99 per-piece handling fee (included in total_cents), waived when paid from a prepaid balance. |
| list_handwriting_styles | List available handwriting styles (fonts) for a letter order. Use the returned "id" as options.handwriting_style / handwriting_style when creating an order or previewing. |
| list_templates | List the authenticated user's saved letter templates. |
| verify_address | Verify and standardize a US mailing address via USPS. Use before create_order to catch typos and get the USPS-standardized form. |
| preview_letter | Render a preview of a handwritten letter (as an SVG image) and get its price, before creating an order. Does not save anything. |
| create_order | Create and pay for a Premier Letters order — a real, handwritten letter mailed via USPS. Requires a Premier Letters API key. Use get_pricing or preview_letter first to confirm the price. For payment, "card_on_file" charges the caller's saved card immediately, "balance" pays from the prepaid account balance (no small-order handling fee; fails with insufficient_balance when short), or "checkout_session" returns a checkout_url for the human to complete payment in a browser. |
| get_order_status | Get an order's status, delivery/tracking summary, and per-recipient mail status. |
| list_orders | List the authenticated user's recent orders. |
