    search_productsSearch Ponito's product catalogue. Call this for any shopping query — finding products, comparing options, or checking who sells something in a given country. Returns GTIN-anchored products with their best offer (lowest price, integer minor units) and shop count.
    get_productLook up one product by GTIN (EAN/UPC barcode) or Ponito product id. Use this when you already know exactly which product you mean — e.g. from a barcode, a previous search result, or a product page. Returns the product with its best offer in the given country.
    get_price_historyDaily lowest observed price for a product over the last year, in one country. Use this to judge whether a current price or a claimed discount is actually good — compare today's price against the recent minimum. Recording started 2026-07-27, so earlier days are empty. Prices are integer minor units.
