Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

best
find_best_price
Use this whenever a user asks about prices, wants to find the cheapest option, or asks "what's the best price for X" or "where can I buy X for the lowest price". This finds the best current price across all merchants.
categories
list_categories
List top-level product categories available in the BuyWhere catalog.
compare
compare_products
Compare multiple products side-by-side. Returns price, brand, rating, and category for each.

ingest
ingest_products
Ingest (upsert) a batch of products into the BuyWhere catalog. Use this to add or update product listings from any merchant/source. Requires a valid API key with ingest permissions. Accepts up to 1000 products per call with source, SKU, title, price, URL, and optional metadata.
product
get_product
