  • generate_offerPrices a real shipment from China to a US address, 100 g to 2,000 kg, on Plain Freight's live pricing engine.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "generate_offer" says "generate": a word for a change.
    • The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Prices a real shipment from China to a US address, 100 g to 2,000 kg, on Plain Freight's live pricing engine. Returns door to door prices in USD: each option covers freight, US customs clearance and delivery, and says whether US import duty is included (DDP) or paid at import. Carton dimensions affect the price: for light, bulky cargo the volumetric weight sets it. Side effects: each call records a separate quote request with Plain Freight, and if an email is given the written offer is emailed to that address once a second check settles (at most one offer email per address per day). Nothing is booked or charged. The result carries a quote_id, by which the second check's verdict can be read.

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Checks whether Plain Freight can ship a product from China to the US, and which documents it needs. Records nothing. Input: the product description. Returns a verdict: instant_offer or branded_rate (priced at once, each on its applicable rate) or person_checks_first (for example batteries, chemicals, food, cosmetics, seeds, vapes or weapons: a person reviews the goods before any price), with a plain explanation and the documents or details to have ready. It applies the same goods screen as Plain Freight's offers; it is not legal or customs advice.

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Rough price estimate for shipping goods from China to a US address, 100 g to 2,000 kg. Records nothing, contacts no one and needs no email. Inputs: total weight, and optionally the product and carton sizes or total volume. Returns estimated door to door prices in USD for air (and sea from 10 kg chargeable weight), the chargeable weight used (the greater of actual weight and carton volume in cm3 / 6,000), transit estimates, and whether US import duty is included. Figures come from Plain Freight's pricing engine for densely packed goods, priced on the applicable rate; goods that need a review get no figure. The exact ZIP code, pickup city and cartons can move the price, so the result is an estimate, not an offer.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "check_offer_status" says "status": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Reads the result of the second check on a Plain Freight offer, by the offer's quote_id. Read-only. Returns settled (true once the check finished), possibly updated options and summary, follow-up questions whose answers change the price or customs channel, the offer email status, and needs_review. When needs_review is true, prices are withheld until a person at Plain Freight reviews the goods (for example batteries, food or chemicals), and Plain Freight follows up by email.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Reads a booked Plain Freight shipment from its tracking link. Input: the tracking link from the booking email (https://plainfreight.com/track/<token>) or the bare token; the token is the credential, so only someone the customer shared the link with can read the record. Returns the shipment reference, the current stage on the 10-stage lifecycle (Booking through Delivered), shipment details and the dated event log. Read-only; changes to a booking go by email to info@plainfreight.com with the shipment reference.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
