SearchShop AI

Start here for any shopping request. Pass the shopper's COMPLETE request in their own words and this tool will understand it and route to the right capability (personalized recommendation, catalog search, product lookup, or comparison), preserving every qualifier — concerns, skin type, budget, brand, medical context. Prefer this tool whenever the request is conversational or carries any nuance. The granular tools (search_products, get_product, compare_products, create_checkout) remain available as precise follow-ups.

(Deprecated: use 'recommend' instead. Works identically.) Get a personalized skincare recommendation with ingredient-aware scoring, safety notes, and routine building. Use when the user wants advice, has a skin concern, or asks what to buy. Do not use for browsing or listing products — use search_products instead. Returns scored products with checkout URLs.

Get a personalized product recommendation with domain-expert scoring, safety notes, and transaction authority. Use when the user wants advice, has a concern, or asks what to buy. Returns scored products with checkout URLs, safety assessment, and authority state (SHOULD/CAN/SHOULDNT/ESCALATE/CANT).

Create a buyable shopping cart with a real checkout URL. Two modes: (1) Pass 'products' array with specific product names. (2) Pass 'query' string to auto-recommend and cart. Do not use for browsing or recommendations — use search_products or skincare_recommend first. Returns a widget with the cart items and a working checkout link.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "products": {
      "type": "array",

Report when a tool result was unhelpful, incomplete, or wrong. Call this whenever you override a recommendation, skip a cart result, or notice the engine output doesn't match what the user needs. Do not use proactively — only when you observe an actual issue. This helps improve the engine.

  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "tool_name": {
      "type": "string",
      "maxLength": 100,

Search SearchShopAI's Research Notes blog — data studies, playbooks, and field notes on agentic commerce (AI attribution, MCP, AI catalog accuracy, ChatGPT ads). Returns matching articles with titles, summaries, and URLs. Use when asked what SearchShopAI has written or published about a topic.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "query": {
      "type": "string",
      "maxLength": 200,
      "description": "Topic or keywords, e.g. 'attribution', 'MCP', 'hallucinated prices'"

Get the summary and URL of a specific SearchShopAI Research Note by its slug (returned by search_research_notes).

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "slug": {
      "type": "string",
      "maxLength": 120,
      "description": "The note slug, e.g. 'the-ai-attribution-blind-spot'"

}

Browse and search the product catalog. Use when the user wants to see what's available, look up specific products, browse by category, compare options, or asks 'show me' / 'what do you have.' Do not use when the user needs personalized recommendations based on skin concerns — use skincare_recommend instead. Returns all matching products with prices, images, and checkout. Unlike skincare_recommend, this does not score or filter — it shows everything that matches so the user can decide.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "query": {
      "type": "string",
      "maxLength": 500,
      "description": "Search query (e.g. 'vitamin c serum', 'anti-aging', 'moisturizer under $50')"

      "description": "Maximum products to return (default 10). Only set this if the user specifies a count — e.g. 'show me 2 devices' → 2. Otherwise leave it unset and the default will return all relevant matches up to 10."

      "type": "number",
      "description": "Filter to products at or below this price"

    "category": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Filter by exact product category from the catalog (e.g. 'serum', 'treatment', 'cleanser', 'moisturizer'). Do not guess categories — only use this if the user explicitly mentions a catalog category. For general queries like 'devices' or 'bundles', use the query parameter instead."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "query"
  ],
  "additionalProperties": false,
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#"
}

Get full details for a specific product by SKU or title. Use when the user asks about a specific product by name (e.g. 'tell me about MIRA', 'show me the serum'). Do not use for browsing or recommendations — use search_products or skincare_recommend. Returns a widget card with the product details, image, price, and checkout button.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "sku": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Exact product SKU (e.g. 'LL-4632379916336')"

    }
  },
  "additionalProperties": false,
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#"
}

Compare two or more products side by side. Use when the user asks to compare, says 'X vs Y', or wants to decide between options. Do not use for single product lookup — use get_product instead. Returns structured comparison with shared attributes, differences, tradeoffs, and a decision hint.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "products": {
      "type": "array",
      "items": {
        "type": "string",
        "maxLength": 200
      },
      "minItems": 2,
      "maxItems": 5,
      "description": "Product titles or SKUs to compare (e.g. ['MIRA', 'CryoSculpt'])"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "products"
  ],
  "additionalProperties": false,
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#"
}

Create a checkout URL for one or more products. Pass variant IDs (items) and/or product URLs (product_urls). When a product URL is provided (e.g. https://laluer.com/products/mira), the tool resolves it to a variant ID automatically — no catalog import needed. Supports discount codes, cart notes, and selling plans. Do not use unless the user wants to buy — use search_products or skincare_recommend first. Returns a direct Shopify checkout link the user can click to buy.
