list_cardsList all available virtual card aliases and their balances. No sensitive data is returned.check_balanceCheck spendable USD balance for a card alias. For active token limits, use list_cards instead.get_deposit_addressesGet your Base deposit address to top up your wallet with USDC (or any supported stablecoin on Base).request_payment_tokenRequest a single-use JIT virtual card ($1–$100) locked to one amount + merchant. ⚠️ Read mcp://resources/sop first. Only call once the FINAL total is visible — for physical goods that is AFTER shipping is submitted (use get_merchant_hints to navigate there). For digital goods with the price already visible, prefer auto_pay_checkout instead. BEFORE requesting: look at the checkout page one more time and compare it against what the user actually asked for — same items, same quantity, same variant, same destination? If anything differs, do NOT request a token; fix the cart or check with the user first. A mismatch you catch here costs nothing; after this point it costs a card. If you pass `cart`, the server signs your declared intent and binds the card to it — the user gets cryptographic proof of what this card was authorized for. Pass `criteria` too: the few things the owner actually cared about, which this purchase gets scored against at payment time.get_merchant_hintsGet merchant navigation flow for a domain or platform key (e.g. '_platform_etsy'). Returns pre_steps (how to navigate checkout) and platform notes. Call BEFORE starting checkout to understand the multi-step flow.ucp_probe_checkoutUCP discovery + quote — creates an UNPAID draft checkout; no money moves; NOT a payment rail yet. Checks whether a merchant speaks UCP (Shopify-native agent commerce), lists its declared payment handlers, and — when variant_gid or query is given — creates a DRAFT checkout and returns the merchant's real quote: total_minor (wire units, 8900 = $89.00), total_major, currency, status, blockers, continue_url. NO payment happens; drafts expire server-side. Completing a UCP checkout needs Shopify Token-tier agent auth, which Z-Zero does not hold yet — to PAY, hand the buyer continue_url or use the standard execute_payment flow where permitted. Call this first on Shopify stores: their robots.txt bans scripted checkout, so the UCP lane is the sanctioned path.execute_paymentExecute a payment with a one-time token. TWO CALLS: call it first WITHOUT `recheck` — nothing is charged and it hands you what the owner actually asked for, locked when the card was issued; look at the page again, then call it a second time with `recheck` to pay or to pause. Then Z-Zero opens a headless browser, injects the card (you NEVER see the PAN), clicks Pay, and watches for a REAL confirmation before reporting success. Returns a `status`: `confirmed` (order placed → token burned, receipt_id may hold a real order #), `declined` (merchant rejected → token kept for refund), `unconfirmed` (submitted but no confirmation seen → do NOT retry blindly, verify first), `not_submitted` (no Pay button → supply a submit_selector hint), or `no_fields`. ALWAYS pass actual_amount so overcharges are blocked and underspend refunded.cancel_payment_tokenCancel unused token and refund instantly. Use when user cancels the purchase or to free up a card slot.request_human_approvalPause and ask the user for approval before risky actions (price mismatch, large amount, unusual request).set_api_keyActivate a new Passport Key instantly, no restart needed. Only call when user explicitly provides a key.show_api_key_statusCheck if Passport Key is configured. Shows prefix only, for debugging.auto_pay_checkout⚠️ MANDATORY: Read mcp://resources/sop first. Only use on PAYMENT pages where final total is visible. Auto-detects Web3 or Fiat and completes payment. For physical goods (Shopify, Etsy), get_merchant_hints first.- +2 more on the listing page
