What this server can do
7 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
check_order(checkout_id)- Check the status of a checkout session or order. Use this after the user has completed an escalation step (e.g. payment in the browser) to see if the checkout can now proceed, or to check on a completed order's status. Required: checkout_id.
compare_prices(session_id, product_name)- Compare prices for a specific product across multiple merchants. Finds the same product at different retailers and shows price differences. Required: product_name.
complete_purchase(session_id, checkout_id)- Complete a checkout and place the order. Only call this when the checkout status is 'ready_for_complete'. Records the purchase as a conversion in telemetry and ends the attribution session. Returns the order confirmation with order ID and receipt link. Required: checkout_id.
find_deals(budget, category, session_id)- Find the best current deals in a product category. Searches for discounted, on-sale, or best-value products. Required: category.
search_products(query, session_id, max_results)- Search for products across merchants and return comparison results. Returns structured product listings with prices, merchants, and checkout links. Searches Shopify's global catalogue (50M+ products across all Shopify merchants) and Channel3's affiliate network. Results include direct checkout links. Required: query.
start_checkout(quantity, session_id, product_url)- Start a UCP checkout session for a product. Discovers the merchant's UCP capabilities, creates a checkout session, and attaches content attribution data from the current session's search and comparison activity. Returns the checkout status and any information the merchant still needs (email, shipping address, etc). Required: product_url.
update_checkout_info(buyer_name, buyer_email, checkout_id, discount_code, shipping_address)- Update a checkout session with buyer information. Provide the information the merchant requested (email, name, shipping address, discount codes). Call this after start_checkout when the merchant indicates what information is still needed. If the response has status 'requires_escalation', share the continue_url with the user so they can complete payment in their browser. Required: checkout_id.

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
