  • create_checkoutCreate a checkout URL for one or more products.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "create_checkout" says "create": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Create a checkout URL for one or more products. Pass variant IDs (items) and/or product URLs (product_urls). When a product URL is provided (e.g. https://laluer.com/products/mira), the tool resolves it to a variant ID automatically — no catalog import needed. Supports discount codes, cart notes, and selling plans. Do not use unless the user wants to buy — use search_products or skincare_recommend first. Returns a direct Shopify checkout link the user can click to buy.

      Matched text

      annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"openWorldHint":false}; The description's first verb is "start": a word for a change.

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Start here for any shopping request. Pass the shopper's COMPLETE request in their own words and this tool will understand it and route to the right capability (personalized recommendation, catalog search, product lookup, or comparison), preserving every qualifier — concerns, skin type, budget, brand. Prefer this tool whenever the request is conversational or carries any nuance. The granular tools (search_products, get_product, compare_products, create_checkout) remain available as precise follow-ups.

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "create": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Create a buyable shopping cart with a real checkout URL. Two modes: (1) Pass 'products' array with specific product names. (2) Pass 'query' string to auto-recommend and cart. Do not use for browsing or recommendations — use search_products or skincare_recommend first. Returns a widget with the cart items and a working checkout link.

    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
    (Deprecated: use 'recommend' instead. Works identically.) Get a personalized skincare recommendation with ingredient-aware scoring and routine building. Use when the user wants advice, has a skin concern, or asks what to buy. Do not use for browsing or listing products — use search_products instead. Returns scored products with checkout URLs.

    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
    Report when a tool result was unhelpful, incomplete, or wrong. Call this whenever you override a recommendation, skip a cart result, or notice the engine output doesn't match what the user needs. Do not use proactively — only when you observe an actual issue. This helps improve the engine.

  • compare_productsCompare two or more products side by side.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "compare_products" says "compare": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Compare two or more products side by side. Use when the user asks to compare, says 'X vs Y', or wants to decide between options. Do not use for single product lookup — use get_product instead. Returns structured comparison with shared attributes, differences, tradeoffs, and a decision hint.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_product" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get full details for a specific product by SKU or title. Use when the user asks about a specific product by name (e.g. 'tell me about MIRA', 'show me the serum'). Do not use for browsing or recommendations — use search_products or skincare_recommend. Returns a widget card with the product details, image, price, and checkout button.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "search_products" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Browse and search the product catalog. Use when the user wants to see what's available, look up specific products, browse by category, compare options, or asks 'show me' / 'what do you have.' Do not use when the user needs personalized recommendations based on skin concerns — use skincare_recommend instead. Returns all matching products with prices, images, and checkout. Unlike skincare_recommend, this does not score or filter — it shows everything that matches so the user can decide.
