🟢search_products(type, colour, max_width_mm, max_height_mm, province)

Use when the customer hasn't specified a product ID yet. Filters by blind type (roller, venetian, honeycomb, vertical, outdoor), colour name, or maximum window dimensions in mm. Returns product_id, name, description, features, and in-stock colour count. Pass the product_id to get_price or configure_product as the next step.

🟢get_price(product_id, width_mm, height_mm, finish, quantity, ...)

Get an exact ZAR price for a product at specific dimensions. Requires product_id (from search_products or lookup_catalog), width_mm, and height_mm. Returns unit_price_zar and total_price_zar (VAT included). Call configure_product next to lock in colour and mount type before creating a cart.

}
🟡configure_product(product_id, width_mm, height_mm, colour, mount_type, ...)

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.

}
🟡submit_enquiry(product_config, customer_name, customer_email, customer_phone, message)

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.

  ]
}
🟡create_order(items, customer_name, customer_email, customer_phone, customer_address, ...)

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.

    "customer_email",
    "customer_phone"
  ]
}
🟢search_catalog(query)

Free-text search across the full catalogue — use for open queries like 'blockout for bedroom' or 'wood venetian'. Returns id, name, category, description, and product_url. For filtering by category, colour, or dimensions use lookup_catalog instead. Pass the returned id to get_product or get_price.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "query": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Free-text query, e.g. 'blockout' or 'venetian'"
    }
  }
}
🟢lookup_catalog(category, colour, max_width_mm, max_height_mm)

Structured catalogue filter: narrow by category (roller | venetian | honeycomb | vertical | outdoor), colour name, max_width_mm, or max_height_mm. Ideal when the customer has stated a blind type. Returns matching products with id and product_url. Use search_catalog for open-ended natural language queries.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "category": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "roller | venetian | honeycomb | vertical | outdoor"

      "type": "number"
    },
    "max_height_mm": {
      "type": "number"
    }
  }
}
🟢get_product(product_id)

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.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "product_id": {
      "type": "string"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "product_id"
  ]
}
🟡create_cart(items, customer)

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.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "items": {
      "type": "array",
      "description": "Optional initial items (configured blinds)"
    },
    "customer": {
      "type": "object",
      "description": "Optional customer details"
    }
  }
}
🟡get_cart(cart_id)

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.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "cart_id": {
      "type": "string"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "cart_id"
  ]
}
🟡update_cart(cart_id, op, items, indices, customer)

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.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "cart_id": {
      "type": "string"
    },

    }
  },
  "required": [
    "cart_id"
  ]
}
🔴cancel_cart(cart_id)

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.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "cart_id": {
      "type": "string"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "cart_id"
  ]
}
🟡create_checkout(cart_id, items, customer, payment_method)

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.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "cart_id": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Either cart_id or items required"

      },
      "required": [
        "name",
        "email",
        "phone"
      ]
    },
    "payment_method": {
      "type": "string",
      "enum": [
        "yoco",
        "ozow"
      ],
      "description": "Default 'yoco'"
    }
  }
}
🟢get_checkout(checkout_id)

Poll a checkout by checkout_id. Returns status (pending | paid | cancelled), full item list, customer details, and payment_url if already minted. Use to verify customer details before calling complete_checkout, or to retrieve the payment_url if complete_checkout was already called.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "checkout_id": {
      "type": "string"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "checkout_id"
  ]
}
🟡update_checkout(checkout_id, customer, payment_method)

Correct customer details (name, email, phone, address) or switch payment_method (yoco | ozow) on an unpaid checkout before calling complete_checkout. Returns the updated checkout state. Raises an error if the checkout is already paid or cancelled.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "checkout_id": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "customer": {
      "type": "object"

        "ozow"
      ]
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "checkout_id"
  ]
}
🔴complete_checkout(checkout_id, payment_method)

Phase 2 of 2. Finalise a checkout and mint the payment link — Yoco for card payments or Ozow for instant EFT. Returns payment_url to share with the customer. Payment confirmation arrives via webhook; poll get_order afterwards to confirm paid status. Once called, the checkout is locked — use cancel_checkout to abort if the customer changes their mind before paying.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "checkout_id": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "payment_method": {

      "description": "Overrides any value set in create_checkout/update_checkout"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "checkout_id"
  ]
}
🔴cancel_checkout(checkout_id)

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.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "checkout_id": {
      "type": "string"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "checkout_id"
  ]
}
🟢get_order(order_id, customer_email)

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.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "order_id": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "customer_email": {
      "type": "string"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "order_id",
    "customer_email"
  ]
}
🟢check_colour_stock(product_id, colour_name)

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.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "product_id": {
      "type": "string"
    },

  "required": [
    "product_id",
    "colour_name"
  ]
}
🟢request_swatch(customer_name, customer_email, customer_phone, product_interest, suburb, ...)

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.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "customer_name": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "customer_email": {

    "customer_email",
    "customer_phone",
    "product_interest"
  ]
}
🟡get_payment_methods(order_total_zar)

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.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "order_total_zar": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Optional. For future per-handler limit filtering."
    }
  }
}
🟢get_whatsapp_handoff(customer_name, product_context, message, location)

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.

Input Schema

  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "customer_name": {
      "type": "string"

      "description": "City/suburb. Drives Duncan vs shop routing."
    }
  }
}
🟢get_product_recommendation(primary_concern, room, location, max_budget_zar, aesthetic)

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.

🟡get_ar_visualizer_url(product_id, mode)

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.

      "description": "ISO date string of the order placement date (e.g. '2026-05-18'). Defaults to today."
    }
  }
