    Description, as the server wrote it
    Carriers charge on whichever is greater, actual weight or cubic (volumetric) weight, so a light bulky parcel costs far more than its scale weight suggests. Give the dimensions and actual weight and this returns the cubic weight under each common convention and which weight you would be charged on. Use it before quoting so the weight you pass to a quote tool is the one that will actually be billed.
  • quote_domestic_auLive shipping prices for a parcel sent WITHIN Australia, from two independent sources at once: Australia Post retail (PAC) and Easyship's pre-negotiated commercial courier panel.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Live shipping prices for a parcel sent WITHIN Australia, from two independent sources at once: Australia Post retail (PAC) and Easyship's pre-negotiated commercial courier panel. Returns every service with price, currency and transit time where available, cheapest first, plus a note on why the two sources are not directly comparable. Use when asked what it costs to send a parcel between Australian postcodes, or which courier is cheapest for a given weight and route.
  • quote_international_from_auLive shipping prices for a parcel sent FROM Australia to another country, from Australia Post retail (PAC) and, where it can quote, Easyship's commercial panel.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Live shipping prices for a parcel sent FROM Australia to another country, from Australia Post retail (PAC) and, where it can quote, Easyship's commercial panel. Returns each service with price and currency. Use when asked what it costs to post something overseas from Australia. Note that AusPost international prices are retail and exclude any destination duty or tax, which the recipient pays.
Only reads 2Claude Code: allow
  • list_goods_categoriesReturns the exact goods categories the commercial rate source will accept.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_goods_categories" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Returns the exact goods categories the commercial rate source will accept. These are a fixed list, not free text: plausible-sounding values like 'general' or 'others' are rejected outright. Call this if a quote came back with a category error, or to pick the closest match before quoting.
  • lookup_au_postcodeResolve an Australian postcode to its suburbs and state, or a suburb name to its postcode.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "lookup_au_postcode" says "lookup": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Resolve an Australian postcode to its suburbs and state, or a suburb name to its postcode. Works in both directions. Use it to validate an address before quoting, or when a suburb name is ambiguous because the same name exists in several states.

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.
