### Tool changes

- 2026-11-14 `make_esim_cart` changed (outputSchema)
- 2026-11-05 `get_order_status` changed (annotations)
- 2026-11-05 `check_esim_device` changed (annotations)
- 2026-11-05 `make_esim_cart` changed (annotations)
- 2026-11-05 `compare_esim_prices` added
  - Compares travel eSIM prices for one country across every brand Inbox eSIM reads (about 50), cheapest first, for a size and a trip length. Read only. Each brand's cheapest plan that covers the request, with its price, the date that price was read, whether it needs an app or account, and its page. Inbox eSIM runs the comparison and also sells eSIMs: its row is marked is_ours and keeps its real position, because the order is by price only.
- 2026-11-05 `find_esim_plans` changed (annotations)
- 2026-10-30 `get_order_status` added
  - Where an Inbox eSIM order is (awaiting_payment, preparing, ready_to_install, installed, in_use, ended, refunded, cancelled, with_support), with data used, the end date and the order page. Needs the order number and the email it was bought with.
- 2026-10-30 `check_esim_device` added
  - Says whether a phone model is likely to take an eSIM (likely, unlikely or check), from the model name, with how to be sure on the phone itself. Call it before buy_esim when the customer is unsure.
- 2026-10-30 `make_esim_cart` added
  - For a trip to several countries (or several phones): turns 2 to 6 plan_ids from find_esim_plans into one cart link. The customer opens it, checks the eSIMs and pays once on Stripe; each eSIM comes in its own QR email and can be refunded on its own if never installed. 3 or more eSIMs in one cart are 5% off. Nothing is bought until the customer pays on the page.
- 2026-10-30 `buy_esim` added
  - Starts the purchase of one eSIM plan for the customer and returns a payment link. Pay it with the Machine Payments Protocol (HTTP 402, Stripe shared payment token) to complete the order. Before calling, confirm the plan, the price and the email with the customer, and get their agreement to the terms: By buying, the customer asks for the eSIM to be sent at once and accepts the terms (https://inboxesim.com/terms): the 14-day right to withdraw ends once the eSIM is installed. An eSIM that was never installed or used can be refunded within 30 days from its order page, less the payment fee (no card fee within 14 days in the EU and UK).
