How It Works

For Agents

Your agent can use these capabilities:

// Search for products
products = search_products({
  query: "organic milk",
  location: "San Francisco, CA"
})

// Browse a store's offerings
store_products = get_store_products({
  store_id: "whole_foods_sf",
  category: "Dairy"
})

// Add to cart
add_to_cart({
  product_id: "organic_milk_gallon",
  quantity: 2,
