What this server can do
15 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_inventory(journey_id, match_type, variant_ids, selected_sku, result_set_id, selected_handle)- Use to confirm stock before recommending a SKU or building a cart. Required argument: variant_ids as an array of numeric Shopify variant IDs encoded as strings, for example ["53475949216112"]. Never send variant_ids as numbers. Live, never cached. Required: variant_ids.
compare_alternatives(limit, family, requested_spec, competitor_reference)- Exploration tool for buyers comparing a packaging spec, competitor-style item, or catalog-number request against Packrift's curated catalog. Returns ranked Packrift candidates plus a plain-language comparison summary. Required: requested_spec.
create_cart_url(sku, items, quantity, journey_id, match_type, selected_sku, discount_code, result_set_id, source_context, selected_handle)- Build the checkout handoff URL once the buyer has confirmed an exact product, quantity, live price, and stock. Preferred input is sku plus quantity; use items only when you already hold variant IDs as strings. Returns a tracked packrift.com cart URL plus a Shopify cart permalink; it never places an order.
explain_no_exact_match(family, reason, requested_spec, missing_or_mismatched_fields)- Explain why a nearby product should not be presented as an exact match for the buyer's spec, then return safe next actions and a quote-request URL. Required: requested_spec.
find_packaging_for_item(use_case, item_depth_in, item_width_in, item_length_in, item_weight_lb)- Use when the buyer has item dimensions and needs a fitting box or mailer. Required arguments are item_length_in, item_width_in, item_depth_in, item_weight_lb, and use_case. Canonical use_case values are mailer|box|fragile|apparel|ecommerce; free text such as 'shipping ceramic mugs' is accepted and mapped to the closest canonical context. Returns up to 5 curated SKUs ranked by fit with price, stock, URL, and cart-continuity fields. Required: item_length_in, item_width_in, item_depth_in, item_weight_lb, use_case.
get_bulk_quote_link(sku, family, reason, quantity, requested_spec)- Return a quote-request URL for an exact packaging spec or SKU. Use when no exact match exists or the buyer needs bulk or procurement review. Required: requested_spec.
get_cart_handoff_candidates(sku, limit, family)- Returns curated Packrift SKUs that are ready for cart handoff, including create_cart_url arguments, SKU records, product/reorder/quote links, and the required live-confirmation sequence.
get_pricing(quantity, journey_id, match_type, variant_ids, selected_sku, result_set_id, selected_handle)- Use to confirm live unit price and line total before cart handoff. Required argument: variant_ids as an array of numeric Shopify variant IDs encoded as strings, for example ["53475949216112"]. Optional quantity defaults to 1. Never send variant_ids as numbers. Never cached. Required: variant_ids.
get_product(handle)- Use after find_packaging_for_item or search_products to pull full detail for a handle: all variants, SKUs, dimensions, weight, stock. Input: handle. Call before building a cart to map qty to the right variant. Required: handle.
get_reorder_link(sku, handle, source_context)- Return the reorder URL, product URL, and a copyable procurement spec for one catalog SKU or handle. Use for repeat-buy and procurement handoff workflows.
get_shipping_estimate(items, country, journey_id, match_type, selected_sku, result_set_id, selected_handle, destination_postal_code)- Use when the buyer asks shipping cost for selected catalog variants. Required arguments: destination_postal_code, country (US|CA), and items with variant_id as a numeric Shopify variant ID string plus qty, for example {"variant_id":"53475949216112","qty":1}. Never send variant_id as a number. Required: destination_postal_code, country, items.
inventory_status(sku, handle, quantity, variant_ids)- Live inventory exploration for one or more catalog variants. Returns total quantity, available-for-sale state, warehouse-level quantities where available, and a plain-language fulfillment summary.
pack_calculator(limit, use_case, padding_in, item_depth_in, item_width_in, item_length_in, item_weight_lb)- Exploration tool for item dimensions and weight. Calculates required inside dimensions, ranks Packrift box/mailer candidates, and gives void-fill guidance before live price/inventory confirmation. Required: item_length_in, item_width_in, item_depth_in.
prepare_purchase_handoff(sku, quantity, journey_id, result_set_id, source_context, buyer_confirmed)- Two-step exact-SKU purchase prep. Call first with sku, quantity, and buyer_confirmed=false to confirm the product, live price, and live stock in one call. After the buyer approves, call again with buyer_confirmed=true to receive the tracked checkout handoff URL. It never places an order. Required: sku.
search_products(limit, query)- Use when the user names a category by keyword (e.g. 'kraft tape', 'bubble mailer', 'starter kit') with no dimensions. For dimension-based fit, prefer find_packaging_for_item. Returns products with price, stock, URL. Required: query.

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.
