Use this when the user asks whether a letter can be posted to a country, or which countries can be reached. Without country: all destination countries with their postage zone. With country: that country's zone, the price of a 1-page standard and registered letter, and the typical delivery time. Works without sign-in. Letters only, no parcels.

Use this when the user has a PDF they want printed and posted and it should be checked first: verifies the page size (A4 or US Letter) and the required free margin on every side, and lists the pages that need changes. We print on the paper size uploaded (printed_on): A4 on A4, US Letter on US Letter (for a recipient outside the US, Canada and US territories the user may choose A4 instead when send

Use this when the user wants to write a new paper letter from text and post it, for example to cancel a contract, subscription or membership by letter, file a complaint or objection, or send a formal notice, by ordinary or registered mail. Renders an A4 letter (DIN 5008 layout: sender block with the user's own name and address, recipient, place and date, subject, body, closing, signature) that pas

Use this when the user already has a PDF (public https URL or base64) that should be printed and posted. Stores the file in the user's account, runs the print check (A4 or US Letter, free margins; printed_on says the paper: US Letter PDFs are printed on US Letter, a PDF mixing A4 and US Letter pages on A4, see us_letter_note; decide by compliant, as all_pages_a4 is false for a US Letter PDF) and r

Use this when an uploaded PDF fails the print check because content is too close to the edge or pages are neither A4 nor US Letter. mode "shrink" (default) scales the affected pages down slightly and centres them on their paper (US Letter for a US Letter PDF, else A4); nothing is lost. mode "crop" keeps pages at 100 % and removes everything inside the margin band, so that content is NOT printed (p

Use this when the user wants to post a PDF that is on their own device and cannot be passed as a URL or base64. Creates a private upload page (valid 60 minutes); give the URL to the user, and once they have uploaded, pass upload_id to create_letter. Sends nothing. Needs the user's account.

Use this when the user has an uploaded PDF (document_id, or upload_id from create_upload_link) and a recipient address and wants it posted by ordinary or registered mail; registered mail is international registered mail with tracking and signature on delivery; "certified" letters, Einschreiben, lettre recommandée and carta certificada mean this here (not a US certified-mail product). Creates a dr

Use this when the user has explicitly confirmed a specific draft letter (recipient, content and total price) and wants it printed and posted. Pays the letter from the user's prepaid credit and releases it to print; it can be cancelled with cancel_letter only until production starts. Only call this after that confirmation and after the user agreed to the Terms (https://printandmailcompany.com/en/le

Use this when the user asks about a letter they created here: status (draft, paid, in_production, printed, posted, cancelled, returned), tracking number for registered mail, and price. Look up by letter_id or reference (PM-XXXXXX). Changes nothing. Needs the user's account.

Use this when the user wants to see their recent letters, optionally filtered by status. Returns status, recipient, price and tracking number per letter. Changes nothing. Needs the user's account.

Use this when the user wants to stop a letter they created here: cancels a draft, or a paid letter that has not gone into production yet, and returns the amount to the user's credit. Letters already printed or posted cannot be recalled. This cancels our letter, not a contract the user has with someone else (for that, compose_letter writes the cancellation letter). Ask the user before cancelling. N

Use this when the user asks how much prepaid credit they have, or to check before sending that the credit covers a letter. Returns the credit, the account currency and the minimum top-up. Changes nothing. Needs the user's account.

Use this when the user needs to add credit, or to pay one specific draft letter by card. Returns a link to the payment page on printandmailcompany.com; give it to the user, who pays there. The assistant cannot pay, and calling this tool charges nothing. Needs the user's account.
