Capabilities

Tools 7

create_checkout

Create a secure Stripe payment link for an Alt eSIM plan. Returns a payment URL the BUYER opens to pay (the agent never handles card details) AND a checkout_session_id. After the buyer pays, call get_qr_code with that checkout_session_id to fetch the eSIM QR and show it to the buyer. The QR is also emailed. Charged in USD. You MUST collect the buyer's real email.

Discovered
get_esim_plan

Get one Alt eSIM plan by its sku or id. Returns full details: title, data amount, validity days, USD price, coverage carriers, product URL.

Discovered
get_qr_code

Fetch the eSIM QR code(s) for an order, to show the buyer directly. Pass the checkout_session_id from create_checkout. Returns a clear `status`: 'awaiting_payment' (buyer has NOT paid — tell them to pay), 'processing' (paid, eSIM still provisioning — retry in ~30s), 'manual_review' (paid, activation paused for security review; ask buyer to contact support@altesim.com with the order reference), 'ready' (returns the QR image(s) + ICCID(s) to display), 'expired', 'refunded', or 'failed'. Use the status to tell the buyer exactly what's happening — never assume payment succeeded.

Discovered
get_shop_facts

Shop rules for Alt eSIM in the shop's own words: product model, currency, refund policy, payment/delivery, and how agents must quote prices/URLs. Call this before recommending or buying.

Discovered
list_destinations

List all Alt eSIM destinations (country/region slugs with English names and region). Use a slug as the 'country' argument for search_esim_plans / recommend_plans.

Discovered
recommend_plans

Recommend up to a few real catalog plans for one destination. Ranks existing SKUs by trip days and usage (light≈0.5 / normal≈1.5 / heavy≈4 GB/day) — never invents prices or URLs. Prefer this for 'what should I buy?'.

Discovered
search_esim_plans

Search Alt eSIM travel data plans. Filter by destination country slug (e.g. 'japan', 'usa', 'europe'), region, and/or max USD price. Returns plans with sku, data amount, validity days, USD price and coverage carriers. All prices are USD.
