## Tools (9)

- `check_merchant`: Run a free merchant-site diagnostic. Agents should use resolve_merchant before relying on merchant facts or actions.
- `compare_offers`: Compare only sourced offer fields from two or more merchants. Unknown values stay unknown and payment never changes order.
- `get_safe_actions`: Return current merchant-owned action URLs, exact inputs, authority, confirmation, expiry, retry rules, recovery, and attribution.
- `get_service_info`: Describe the Merchant Context service, price, and inspection checks.
- `inspect_merchant`: Compatibility alias for refresh_merchant. Show the price and get explicit human approval first.
- `preflight`: Resolve one merchant, evaluate sourced intent constraints, select a safe action, state approval, and return attribution.
- `refresh_merchant`: Pay for a fresh merchant inspection and cache refresh. Show the price and get explicit human approval first.
- `resolve_merchant`: Resolve cached merchant identity, sourced facts, offers, terms, freshness, and safe actions for free. Call this before relying on merchant facts or starting an action.
- `search_merchants`: Search cached merchant records by sourced offer, place, price, timing, policy, action support, and freshness. Payment and adoption never change order.
