Capabilities

Tools 10

check_compatibility

Check which products are compatible with a given product. For devices, shows required consumables (e.g., conductive gel for MIRA). For topicals, shows which devices they work with. Use when a customer asks 'what gel do I need with MIRA?' or 'does this serum work with CryoSculpt?'

Discovered
check_inventory

Check if a product is currently available. Uses Shopify Storefront API to verify real-time stock status. Use when a customer asks 'is MIRA in stock?' or before recommending a product.

Discovered
compare_products

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.

Discovered
create_checkout

Use when the user wants to buy one or more products. This store's availability is not confirmed here: a checkout link is created only when every item has been approved for checkout on this store and Shopify reports it for sale; otherwise the tool returns the product page on the store's own site for each item. Pass variant IDs (items) and/or product URLs (product_urls). Use search_products first.

Discovered
deals_discounts

Show available bundles, deals, and ask about discount codes. Use when a customer asks about deals, bundles, savings, or says 'do you have any discounts?' Also use when multiple items are in cart to suggest bundle savings. Always ask if the customer has a discount code.

Discovered
get_product

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.

Discovered
get_research_note

Get the summary and URL of a specific SearchShopAI Research Note by its slug (returned by search_research_notes).

Discovered
search_products

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.

Discovered
search_research_notes

Search SearchShopAI's Research Notes blog — data studies, playbooks, and field notes on agentic commerce (AI attribution, MCP, AI catalog accuracy, ChatGPT ads). Returns matching articles with titles, summaries, and URLs. Use when asked what SearchShopAI has written or published about a topic.

Discovered
shop

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.
