Tools (9)

List Zinc orders

List or search the Zinc orders on the configured account, newest first. Renders an interactive order list. Use `search` for a partial order ID or tracking number, `status` to filter by order status, and `has_tracking` to show only shipped orders.

Get a Zinc order

Fetch one Zinc order by its UUID and render a detail card: line items, retailer price breakdown, shipping destination, and shipment timeline.

Get shipment tracking for a Zinc order

Return the carrier tracking timeline (scan checkpoints) for one Zinc order. Use this when the question is only about where a package is, not about pricing or line items.

Review an order before placing it

Show the user an order to review: items, destination, and spending cap. This does NOT place the order or spend anything — the user places it by clicking Place order in the card that appears. Use this whenever the user wants to buy something.

Place a reviewed order

Internal: places an order the user already confirmed in the review card. Requires a confirmation issued by prepare-order, which is not available to you — call prepare-order and let the user confirm instead.

Check the Zinc wallet balance

Show the Zinc wallet balance, what an order costs against it, and the saved payment methods available for adding funds. Use this when the user asks about their balance, or to check whether they can afford an order before preparing one.

Review adding funds before charging

Show the user a deposit to review: amount, processing fee, total to be charged, and which saved payment method. This does NOT charge anything — the user confirms by clicking Add funds in the card that appears. Use this when the wallet is short or the user asks to add funds.

Charge a reviewed deposit

Internal: charges a deposit the user already confirmed in the review card. Requires a confirmation issued by prepare-topup, which is not available to you — call prepare-topup and let the user confirm instead.

Search for products across retailers

Find products across Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy and more. Each result carries an orderable URL that can be passed straight to prepare-order. Use this when the user wants to buy something but has not given a product URL. This search is billed to the user's Zinc wallet per call, so treat it as a real action: search once with the user's best query rather than issuing speculative variations, and do not retry a failed search without saying why.
