## Tools (26)

- `cancel_cart`: Permanently delete a cart by cart_id. Use when the customer abandons the session or wants to start over. Has no effect on any checkout or paid order already created from this cart. Irreversible — create a new cart to restart.
- `cancel_checkout`: Abort an unpaid checkout and release its checkout_id. Use if the customer changes their mind after create_checkout but before completing payment. Has no effect on orders already confirmed by webhook. To restart, create a new cart and checkout from scratch.
- `check_colour_stock`: Verify whether a specific colour is available before configure_product. Returns in_stock boolean, expected_restock_date if out of stock, and up to 5 alternative in-stock colours ordered by similarity. Call this when a customer requests a named colour or when you want to prevent a configure_product failure due to an out-of-stock selection.
- `complete_checkout`: Generate a Yoco card or Ozow instant-EFT payment link; this does NOT complete payment. Rejects cancelled checkouts and rechecks stock and totals first. An atomic claim prevents competing gateway calls. Returns payment_url or null plus status and message; cloud callers may be held. Retain a successful URL: repeat calls return payment_pending with no URL. Gateway failures raise an error, send no payment-link email and require team review rather than an automatic retry. Poll get_order with customer_email for payment status.
- `configure_product`: Lock in a full blind specification: product, dimensions, colour, and mount type (inside recess or outside face-fix). Validates that the colour exists and is in stock, then prices the blind. Returns a configuration summary to pass directly into create_cart. Call check_colour_stock first if availability is uncertain.
- `create_cart`: Start the open UCP purchase flow — no auth needed. Creates a cart session and returns a cart_id (24-hour TTL). Optionally seed with pre-configured blind items and customer details. Next step: update_cart to add items, then create_checkout → complete_checkout to mint the payment link.
- `create_checkout`: Phase 1 of 2 in the purchase flow. Convert a cart (or inline items + customer) into a checkout. Customer name, email, and phone are required. Returns checkout_id. No payment link is minted yet — call complete_checkout for that. Use update_checkout to correct customer details before finalising.
- `create_order`: Legacy auth-required tool — prefer the open UCP flow (create_cart → create_checkout → complete_checkout) which needs no credentials. Use create_order only if you hold a Bearer token and want a single-call path to a payment link. All item prices are re-verified server-side against the live pricing engine — agent-supplied prices are ignored. Returns a Yoco or Ozow payment_url.
- `get_ar_visualizer_url`: Surface the AR measurement tool or product visualizer when a customer wants to measure their window or preview a blind in their room. The AR tool uses a phone camera and an A4 page as a reference scale to measure window dimensions. The visualizer renders the selected blind in a customer-uploaded room photo. Set mode to 'measure', 'visualize', or 'both'. Optionally pre-select a product_id.
- `get_cart`: Retrieve live cart state by cart_id: full item list, calculated totals in ZAR, and any customer details stored so far. Call after update_cart to confirm changes are correct before proceeding to create_checkout. Cart expires after 24 hours of inactivity.
- `get_checkout`: Read checkout by checkout_id. Returns persisted order status, payment_status, payment_method, items, customer, total_zar and currency. Initial order status is started, not pending. This tool does not return a previously generated payment_url: retain the complete_checkout response in caller context.
- `get_delivery_estimate`: Explain the production lead time for a new order. Production takes 5–7 working days, excluding transit times and outside peak seasons. Returns dispatch_date, production_days, and a plain-language summary safe to share with the customer. Never quote a final delivery date. Call this when a customer asks 'when will it arrive?' to give an honest production timeline.
- `get_order`: Retrieve a confirmed order's status, items, and payment details by order_id. customer_email is required as soft-auth and must exactly match the order record — prevents arbitrary order lookups. Returns payment status (paid | pending | failed), production status, and dispatch date once available.
- `get_payment_methods`: List available payment processors and their capabilities. Returns Yoco (card, immediate) and Ozow (instant EFT via South African bank account). Call when the customer asks 'how can I pay?' or before presenting options. The result informs the payment_method field in create_checkout and complete_checkout.
- `get_price`: Get an exact ZAR price using product_id from search_catalog or lookup_catalog, width_mm and height_mm. Prices include VAT and delivery. Colour selects the bamboo price tier where applicable. A price is not a stock reservation: validate the exact colour and mount with configure_product before creating a cart. Failure can return success:false or a JSON-RPC validation error.
- `get_product`: Fetch complete details for one product by id (e.g. roller-blockout, venetian-25mm-aluwood). Returns all available colours with in-stock status, materials, features, and maximum supported dimensions. Use before configure_product to confirm a colour exists and is in stock before committing.
- `get_product_recommendation`: Translate a customer's primary concern into a product recommendation. primary_concern must be one of: blockout, heat, glare, moisture, privacy, security, automation. Optionally narrow by room (bedroom, lounge, etc.), location, budget, and aesthetic. Returns a recommended product_id with rationale — pass it to get_price or configure_product next. Security concern routes to brochure MCP (Garden Route customers only).
- `get_whatsapp_handoff`: Generate a pre-filled WhatsApp deep link to hand the customer off to the right contact. Garden Route locations (Knysna, Plett, George, Sedgefield, etc.) route to Duncan Kane (+27795235407) for free in-home consultation; all other South African locations route to the online shop line (+27760228410). Use when the customer prefers human assistance or when self-serve checkout isn't appropriate.
- `lookup_catalog`: Preferred structured discovery. Filter by category, partial colour name or required supported width/drop in mm. Returns results containing product_id, name, category and product_url, plus total. Width/drop filters check separate maximums, not every combination; confirm the exact pair with get_price.
- `request_price_match`: Submit a price match claim when the customer has found the same blind cheaper elsewhere. Custom Blinds matches verified South African retailer prices for identical product, dimensions, and specs. Returns a pre-filled WhatsApp link to the claims team. Not applicable to: Blinds Direct (same supplier), clearance or flash-sale prices, or out-of-stock items. Requires product_id and competitor_price_zar at minimum.
- `request_swatch`: Register up to 5 colour swatches to be dispatched with the customer's order. Swatches ship at order placement only — they are NOT sent as a standalone postal sample before purchase. Capped at 5 codes per order. If the customer asks for swatches before ordering, explain they ship with the blind and guide them to place their order first.
- `search_catalog`: Preferred free-text discovery. Returns results containing product_id, name, category, description, product_url and colour_count_in_stock, plus total and currency. For structured filters use lookup_catalog. Pass product_id to get_product or get_price.
- `search_products`: Legacy discovery, retained for backward compatibility. Prefer search_catalog / lookup_catalog, then get_product. Filters by blind type, colour or maximum dimensions. Returns products with id (not product_id), name, description, features and in-stock colour count. Pass that id as product_id to get_price or configure_product.
- `submit_enquiry`: Legacy auth-required tool — prefer the open UCP flow (create_cart → create_checkout → complete_checkout) for credentialless checkout. Use submit_enquiry only when the customer wants a sales team follow-up by email rather than paying online. Requires Bearer token. Pass a configure_product output plus customer name, email, and phone. Team responds within 24 hours.
- `update_cart`: Modify an open cart before checkout. op: 'add' appends items, 'remove' drops items by 0-based index, 'set' replaces the full item list, 'clear' empties the cart. Merges customer details (name, email, phone) via the customer field. Call get_cart afterwards to confirm. Cannot modify a cart that already has a checkout in progress.
- `update_checkout`: Update customer details or payment_method only before payment-link generation. Paid, cancelled and payment-in-progress checkouts are rejected. Concurrent state changes are detected; retrieve the latest status before retrying.
