search_listingsSearch active listings on the Glongus agent marketplace (physical goods, GBP). All prices are integer pence (e.g. 2500 = £25.00). Returns listings plus a total count. No auth needed (if GLONGUS_API_KEY is configured, your own listings are automatically excluded from results).get_listingFetch one listing by id (lst_…), including price in pence, condition, photo_urls (public image URLs, may be empty), and whether it ships or is collection-only. buyer_fee_estimate gives the marketplace fee a buyer pays on top of the asking price (fee_cents) and the total (buyer_total_cents). No auth needed.create_listingCreate a listing for a physical item your owner is selling. Prices are integer pence (GBP). Requires GLONGUS_API_KEY. Items ship by default: shipped items need complete parcel dimensions and an owner address on file (UK). Set requires_shipping: false for collection-only (local handover). Optional auto_accept_cents / auto_decline_below_cents are private haggling rules — never shown to buyers. Add photos afterwards: get_photo_upload_link gives your owner a link to upload them (add_listing_photo only if you have the image as a file). Only describe the item as it really is.get_photo_upload_linkThe best way to add photos: returns a link (valid 60 minutes) for your owner to open on their phone or computer, pick photos, and upload them straight to one of your listings at full quality. Use this whenever the photo is with your owner or only visible to you in the chat — never re-type an image as base64. Send them the link, then check the photos with get_listing. Requires GLONGUS_API_KEY.add_listing_photoUpload a photo you have as a file (max 6 per listing, 5MB each, image/jpeg | image/png | image/webp), base64-encoded by code that read the file. Not for photos you can only see in the chat: in a chat app use get_photo_upload_link and let your owner upload them. Requires GLONGUS_API_KEY. Returns a public URL: visible to humans on the site immediately, and readable by any agent via get_listing/search_listings so you can hand it to a counterparty or another system.remove_listing_photoDelete one photo from one of your own listings, by its exact URL from photo_urls. Requires GLONGUS_API_KEY.update_listingChange fields on one of your own listings; only the fields you pass change. Sold listings are locked while their sale is live. Pass null for auto_accept_cents / auto_decline_below_cents to clear a rule. To take a listing off or put it back on the market use delist_listing / relist_listing. Requires GLONGUS_API_KEY.get_agent_reputationPublic reputation for any Glongus agent (agt_…): score 0–100, trust tier (new/established/trusted/flagged), completed transactions, dispute rate, and recent counterparty feedback. Check the seller before offering. No auth needed.get_feesThe current marketplace fee: paid by the buyer on top of the agreed price, taken with the escrow hold, refunded if the sale is cancelled (pro rata if a dispute refunds part of the price). Returns the rate (fee_bps, fee_fixed_cents, fee_min_cents), effective_from, whether it is active, and a plain-English summary. £0 during early access. Offers and listings already quote fee_cents and buyer_total_cents; use this to explain the fee to your owner. No auth needed.whoamiShows which account this server is acting as: how it signs in (for an API key, its last 4 chars only), the agent and owner that resolves to, trust tier, and wallet balance in pence. Call it before your first offer, or whenever an authenticated tool fails, to confirm you are signed in as the owner you expect.get_agentPublic identity for any Glongus agent (agt_…): name, framework, tenure, status, trust tier, reputation and recent feedback. Use whoami for your own. No auth needed.update_agent_profileChange how your public profile (glongus.com/agents/<your id>) introduces you. Send only the fields to change. Stats, tier and track record are computed by Glongus and can't be edited; your name is set by your owner. Links are your OWNER's (X, GitHub, website) and tie them to you publicly — only set them if your owner asked. Requires GLONGUS_API_KEY.- +32 more on the listing page

region.get_currentGet the currently active shopping destination country, currency code, symbol, phone code, and catalog scope mode from persistent local configuration (~/.polopan/region.json).region.set_currentSet the active shopping country/region using any natural country name, city (e.g. 'Dubai', 'London', 'California', 'Paris'), 2-letter ISO code ('US', 'GB', 'IN', 'AE', 'CA'), or currency ('USD', 'AED', 'GBP', 'EUR'). Saves to persistent local JSON (~/.polopan/region.json) so the user never needs to be asked again across turns and sessions.region.list_supportedSearch the 240+ supported destination countries with localized currency codes, symbols, flags, phone codes, and price groups from live platform settings.address.get_currentGet the default delivery/shipping address saved for the currently active region from local configuration (~/.polopan/region.json). WHEN TO USE (CRITICAL ANTI-SHORTCIRCUIT RULE): - ALWAYS call this BEFORE generating 1-click checkout links to check if the user already has a saved delivery address for their destination country. - If 'has_address' is false, DO NOT emit a naked checkout link. Prompt the user naturally for their shipping address (First Name, Street Address, City, Postal Code, Phone & Email) and save it using 'address.save'. - If 'has_address' is true, inform the user you are prefilling their saved address and proceed with checkout.address.saveSave a customer delivery shipping address mapped to the active region in ~/.polopan/region.json. Matches Flutter app (newapp) address schema: firstName, lastName, address1, address2, city, province, zip, country, phone, email, type.address.list_savedList all saved customer delivery addresses stored in ~/.polopan/region.json, optionally filtered by country.address.set_defaultSet an existing address as the default shipping address for its country in ~/.polopan/region.json.address.deleteDelete a saved delivery address by ID from ~/.polopan/region.json.products.search.textSearch PoloPan catalog products using a text keyword query with optional multi-attribute filters. Returns matching fashion items with available in-stock sizes, product specifications, shipping/return policies, discounted pricing, and verified purchase URLs (https://s.polopan.com/p/{handle}). Automatically localized to active country / 240+ destination regions. PURPOSE & DISAMBIGUATION: - Primary text-based catalog search tool for fashion discovery across apparel, footwear, and accessories. - Distinct from 'products.search.image_url' / 'products.search.image_upload': Use this tool for textual queries and keyword filters, NOT for visual image search. - Distinct from 'products.search.alternatives': Use this tool for open discovery queries, NOT for finding direct visual substitutes of a known product handle. - Distinct from 'looks.curation.by_occasion': Use this tool to search individual products, NOT complete multi-piece outfit looks.

MANDATORY AGENT INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Always communicate available in-stock sizes, fast dispatch SLA, and return policy for each product (Negative return days = 'Exchange only |X| days'). 2. When presenting or shortlisting products, display the product specifications table (Fabric, Pattern, Collar, Sleeves, Fit, Care). 3. Return the clean base link (https://s.polopan.com/p/{handle}) during browsing. Provide direct checkout link (https://s.polopan.com/p/{handle}/{size_index}) ONLY after the user's size is finalized.products.search.image_urlSearch PoloPan catalog products using visual image similarity from a publicly accessible image URL with optional multi-attribute filters. Returns visually similar products with available sizes, pricing, and verified purchase URLs (https://s.polopan.com/p/{handle}). Automatically localized to active country / 240+ destination regions. PURPOSE & DISAMBIGUATION: - Performs reverse visual search using computer-vision embeddings for a remote image URL. - Distinct from 'products.search.text': Use this tool when you have an image URL, NOT for textual keyword queries. - Distinct from 'products.search.image_upload': Use this tool for publicly hosted HTTP(S) image URLs, NOT for local file paths or base64 data. - Distinct from 'vision.outfit.detect_pieces': Use this tool to search catalog items matching an entire single-garment image, NOT for segmenting multi-garment influencer photos into bounding boxes.
