Pulled straight from the server with tools/list on 2026-10-17.
buycan modify

Shop and check out, in natural language, across the merchants the user has linked (DoorDash, etc.). Pass the whole ask as `request` — e.g. "order a caesar salad from Zuni on DoorDash" — and this tool runs the shopping flow for you. It is CONVERSATIONAL: this tool RETURNS a `conversation_id`; pass that SAME `conversation_id` back on every follow-up (your reply to a question, "add a coke", "yes,

surprise_me

Buy the user something totally unexpected and very silly/stupid-fun under a small dollar cap (default $10, hard max $25). Great when the user cannot decide what to order (from DoorDash etc.) or just wants a fun surprise. It kicks off a shopping conversation that FIRST brainstorms deliberately stupid ideas, picks ONE genuinely unexpected item, builds the cart, and shows the item + exact total. It N

get_instructionsread-only

Call this FIRST; returns the latest usage guide for shopping with `buy` AND for operating the Agentcard account tools (cards, funding, your own card, KYC, support).

whoamiread-only

Show who you are operating as: the authenticated AgentCard account's email, user id, name, plan, KYC + account status, member-since date, and how this session is connected (personal login vs a third-party OAuth app connection, with the app name). Call this when the user asks "who am I" / "which account is this", or before money-moving actions when you need to confirm the account. Read-only. KYC sh

list_cardsread-only

The user's wallet: every live card they hold, with IDs, last four digits, expiry, balance, and status, plus `vaultCards`: the user's OWN cards stored in their Agentcard vault (display fields only; a vaulted card pays through buy with an approval on the user's device (their passkey or master password) and never exposes a number). Start here to find available cards; if none are returned, call create

get_card_detailsread-only

Get decrypted PAN, CVV, expiry, and current balance for a specific card. Use this only when you need to fill in a payment form; prefer get_card_balance if you only need the balance. May require human approval before returning credentials. If approval is required, prompt the user and then call approve_request. Agentcard never stores an issued card's number or CVV; each call fetches them again.

get_card_balanceread-only

The live balance of ONE virtual card (the user's overall cash balance is get_balance). Prefer this over get_card_details when you only need to verify available funds: it is faster and does not expose sensitive card credentials.

close_cardcan modify

Permanently close a virtual card. This is irreversible — the card cannot be reopened. Safe to call on an already-closed card (idempotent). The user's rewards card (the card their tokenback redeems onto) is close-protected: closing it returns its balance to the wallet but retires the card number the user may have on file at AI labs, so it requires confirm_rewards_card — set it ONLY after the us

create_card

The one card tool: get the user a virtual debit card for a purchase. Cards are live and charged for real when used. For a FIRST-TIME user it starts by putting the user's OWN card in their Agentcard vault (any Visa, Mastercard, Amex, or Discover from any country, no identity verification (KYC), no balance funding): the call returns a secure link (vault_started); send it to the user (they type the c

get_card_preset

Read a card's preset (spend limits, rate limits, allowed categories/merchants, time windows, and surfaces) as a plain-English summary. A card without a preset is unrestricted.

set_card_preset

Update a card's preset. Pass a template name (ai_labs, weekday_meals, cli_only, daily), a saved preset name (from list_presets), a comma-separated template list, or inline JSON / { name, privileges }. Pass null or "" to clear the card's preset (Agentcard-side checks stop; any limit already on the card network stays). Edits create a new version. The response reports what was applied on Agentcard vs

allow_card_merchant

Remember a merchant on a card so the next matching charge is allowed even when the card's category or merchant rules would otherwise deny it. One tool call — does not replace the rest of the preset.

list_presets

List every preset you can use by name: the built-in templates (ai_labs, weekday_meals, cli_only, daily) plus any you've saved yourself, each with a plain-English summary of its rules.

save_preset

Save your own preset — a named set of rules (spend caps, category/merchant/place/currency/day/hour/program restrictions) you can reuse by name in set_card_preset or create_card. Saving under a name you already used adds a new version: cards already using the old one keep it, new ones get the update. Pick a name other than the built-ins (ai_labs, weekday_meals, cli_only, daily). Pass either the r

delete_preset

Delete a preset you saved (from save_preset). Refuses built-in template names — there's nothing to delete there. Cards already issued keep whatever rules they have; this only retires the name for future use. Refused while a card still inherits the name as a standing default.

get_wallet_link

The user's hosted wallet, as one shareable URL. Opens their Agentcard wallet in the browser: every card in one place, apply for an Agentcard card (identity verification runs right in the page). Mint it whenever the user needs a browser step (seeing cards, finishing verification when in-chat photos fail) and send them the URL. To ADD the user's own card, pass purpose "add_card": the link then opens

list_added_cardsread-only

List the user's ADDED cards (their own Visa/Mastercard cards enrolled via create_card's add-card flow — the funding source that charges their own card), with ids, brand, last4, expiry, and status. The row marked isDefault is what create_card charges when no connected_card_id is given — the user's chosen default card (set with update_settings default_payment), falling back to the newest active

remove_added_cardcan modify

Remove (unenroll) one of the user's added cards. Irreversible for that enrollment: any virtual cards created against it are closed first, then the card is unenrolled at the network. ALWAYS confirm with the user before calling. Get ids from list_added_cards. The user can add the same card again later (create_card with restart_setup: true).

pause_card

Pause a multi-use card: temporarily blocks ALL new charges (reversible — use resume_card to unblock). Right for "stop this subscription for now" or a card the user suspects is compromised but is not sure. Only multi-use cards can be paused; single-use cards close after one charge and cannot be paused.

resume_card

Resume a paused multi-use card so it accepts charges again. The inverse of pause_card.

update_card_limit

Change a multi-use card's total spending limit. Raising it reserves the extra amount from the user's cash balance (top up with add_funds if short); lowering it frees the difference, but the new limit can never go below what the card has already spent. Single-use cards cannot be resized.

get_rewardsread-only

Show the user's tokenback: balance, lifetime earned, and recent activity. Tokenback pays tokens (1 token = 1¢ of credit value) on settled card spend. AI cards (create_card scope_preset: 'ai_labs') earn a boosted rate on AI-lab purchases, and companies can route a share of their earnings to their users as tokenback. Redeem with redeem_rewards.

redeem_rewards

Redeem tokenback: the tokens' cash value (1 token = 1¢) lands on the user's rewards card as spending power. The rewards card is permanent and locked to AI-lab merchants (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) — created on first redemption, topped up after. Check get_rewards first for the balance and the minimum. Ask the user before redeeming.

recommend_cardread-only

Ask the vault which of the user's own stored cards earns the most for a purchase (smart purchases). Pass the merchant name, its website when you know it, and the amount. Returns the card id to use as card_id at checkout, the reason in plain words, and the runners-up. null when smart purchases is off for this account, no stored card has been named yet (see name_card), or nothing could be said; then

name_card

Tell the vault which card product one of the user's own stored cards is (e.g. "Chase Sapphire Preferred", "Amex Gold"), so smart purchases can rank it. Takes a vault card id (a `vaultCards` row from list_cards) and the product name as the user says it; the closest match is saved and echoed back. Confirm with the user when the match is not obviously right. Pass clear_product to forget the name, or

start_support_chat

Start a new support conversation and send the first message

send_support_message

Send a message in an existing support conversation

read_support_chatread-only

Read the message history of a support conversation

list_pending_approvalsread-only

List the user's PENDING approval requests: asks from connected apps (create a card, view full card details, close/pause/resume a card, change a limit) waiting on the user's decision. Surface each one to the user and let THEM decide; after the user answers, resolve with approve_request. NEVER approve or deny on your own — an approval is the user's consent, not yours. Personal sessions only; compa

approve_request

Resolve a pending approval request (approve or deny) once the USER has decided. Use this after get_card_details or create_card returns a 202 requiring approval, or for a row from list_pending_approvals. For card_details and transaction, approval automatically completes the follow-up action and returns the result. For cross_app actions (asks from another app: close/pause/resume a card, change a lim

submit_user_info

Submit the user's phone number and terms acceptance for a virtual card. Call this after create_card returns user_info_required. Do NOT ask the user for occupation, income, or account purpose — those are never asked. Identity fields (name, date of birth, SSN / national ID, address) belong to the KYC flow: create_card tells you whether it runs conversationally (start_kyc → ID photo → face scan

start_kyc

Begin (or resume) identity verification. Verification is CONVERSATIONAL: it starts with a photo of the user's government ID — the backend reads the printed details automatically and the user confirms every value. Only fields the ID does not carry are asked (like the SSN for US documents, or the national ID number for non-US ones); occupation/income questions are never asked. The only browser ste

get_kyc_statusread-only

Check the user's identity verification (KYC) status. Returns whether they are verified and, if not, the current state plus the conversational next step. Use this to poll after the user does the face scan, or any time create_card reports kyc_required.

submit_kyc_document

Submit the user's ID photo for identity verification. Ways in: (a) image data you hold programmatically (e.g. the user sent the photo in this chat and your platform exposes its bytes) — pass front_base64 (and back_base64 for a license back; its barcode reads most accurately); (b) local (stdio) mode — pass file_path/back_file_path and the file is read from disk; (c) neither — you get a secure

check_kyc_documentread-only

Check the conversational verification state — use after the user uploads their ID via the browser upload link (or any time you need to re-orient). Returns the current step and the fields still missing.

submit_kyc_fields

Submit identity fields for verification: the ones the ID photo didn't carry (listed by missingFields — the tax/ID number always has to be asked since IDs don't print it; call it "SSN" only for US documents and "national ID number" otherwise), corrections to extracted values the user flagged, and the User Agreements acceptance (agreements_accepted, after presenting each agreement verbatim). That

list_transactionsread-only

Transactions with amount, merchant, status, and timestamps. Pass card_id for one card's transactions; OMIT it for every card in the account (newest first, each row tagged with its card). Use limit and status to filter. The gated views list_all_transactions and list_transactions_by_payment_method also exist; call them by name even though they aren't in the tools list.

setup_payment_method

Save a payment method used ONLY to pay for flight bookings (the fare is charged to it via a hold at booking; no virtual card is created for flights). It does NOT fund cards or the cash balance — cards are funded from the balance (see add_funds). Returns a secure checkout URL the user must open to save their card details.

get_balance

The user's cash balance: the money that funds new cards. Provisions the balance account on first use. Users add cash with Apple Pay or Google Pay in USD; funds are held as USDC. (Their wallet, meaning the cards themselves, is list_cards.)

add_funds

Generate a secure checkout link the user opens to add cash to their own balance (the money that funds new cards) via Apple Pay or Google Pay, in USD. Calling this tool moves NO money and initiates NO transfer: it only prepares a single-use hosted payment page — the exact equivalent of the user clicking 'Add funds' in the dashboard. The user personally reviews, authorizes, and completes (or aband

start_phone_verification

Send (or re-send) the user's one-time funding verification code (the provider verifies the phone on the user's Agentcard identity, valid 60 days). add_funds already sends this code automatically when verification is needed — call this tool only to RE-send when the code never arrived (any unexpired code still works; sends are rate-limited). Returns the masked destination (text or email) and wheth

verify_phone

Check the one-time code the user received from start_phone_verification. On success the balance is unlocked for funding (the verification stays fresh for 60 days) — call add_funds next. A wrong or expired code returns a recoverable status so you can ask the user to re-check it, or call start_phone_verification to resend.

redeem_code

Redeem a promo code that adds money to the user's cash balance. Each code works once per user; the credit lands in the balance and becomes spendable within a minute or two. Some codes hold the money until the user verifies their identity — the claim still locks the code to this user instantly, and the credit lands automatically once KYC is approved (start_kyc begins verification). The gated tool

get_planread-only

Show the user's current subscription plan, card limits, and this month's usage. Call this before create_card when you need the per-card amount cap or remaining monthly quota, and ALWAYS before creating a multi-use card: multi-use cards are a paid-plan feature, so maxActiveMultiUseCards is 0 on Free and the mint is refused. Also call it whenever the user asks about their plan, limits, billing, or u

upgrade_plan

Start a paid-plan upgrade. Choose the target plan: 'basic' ($15/mo — 15 cards/month, up to $500 per card) or 'pro' ($100/mo — 50 cards/month, up to $1,000 per card). Defaults to 'basic' if omitted. Returns a Stripe Checkout URL the user must open in their browser to complete payment. After they finish checkout, the plan updates automatically; verify with get_plan. Use only when the user explic

list_payment_methodsread-only

List the saved payment methods (used only to pay for flight bookings, not for cards or adding funds). Returns each method with its id, brand, last 4 digits, and expiry, and marks the default one. Use setup_payment_method to add a new one. The gated tools set_default_payment_method and remove_payment_method also exist; call them by name even though they aren't in the tools list.

list_connectionsread-only

List the third-party apps the user has connected to their Agentcard account via OAuth (e.g. Kilo), including when each was connected and whether it is still active. Read-only. To revoke an app, call revoke_connection with its clientId.

revoke_connectioncan modify

Revoke a third-party app's access to the user's Agentcard account. Disconnects the app and invalidates its OAuth tokens; it must reconnect via OAuth to regain access. Pass the clientId shown by list_connections.

get_settingsread-only

View the user's notification preferences (which email alerts they receive), their default payment source (which card or balance agents charge — check it before picking a funding source for them), their default delivery address (the wallet-level shipping address to use when buying physical goods for them — check it before asking them to dictate an address), and authorization settings (whether v

link_accountcan modify

Link or merge another Agentcard account that belongs to the same person. Use when the user says they already have an account under a DIFFERENT email or phone number — most often after identity verification (KYC) is rejected as a duplicate, which means that person already verified on another account. Two steps: (1) call with { type, identifier } to send a one-time code to that email/phone; (2) ca

buy_list_merchantsread-only

List merchants available for agent commerce (Rappi, Good Eggs, DoorDash) and whether this user has linked each one. Link a merchant before shopping it.

buy_unlink_merchantcan modify

Disconnect a merchant — drops the saved session + link. The user must re-link (e.g. hosted connect) before shopping it again.

buy_connect

Connect a merchant for shopping. For merchants that need a real login (e.g. DoorDash) this opens a secure hosted browser session and returns a URL the user opens to log in; after they finish, call buy_connect_status with the pending_id to confirm. Merchants that need no login (e.g. Agentcard Flights) come back ready immediately. Use this instead of buy_link_merchant for hosted-login merchants. Thi

buy_connect_statusread-only

Check the status of a hosted merchant login started with buy_connect. Returns linking (still in progress — call again in a few seconds), linked (success — the merchant is ready to shop), expired, or error. Pass the merchant and the pending_id from buy_connect. ONLY for logins started by the buy_connect tool: a login link handed out by the conversational `buy` tool has no pending_id — for tho

manage_subscription

Manage a recurring meal/grocery SUBSCRIPTION (e.g. Locale) — NOT a one-time purchase, and no payment is taken (the subscription auto-bills the card on file at the merchant). action: 'menu_search' (browse the recurring menu; items flagged inPlan are covered by the plan), 'get_skip_dates' (list skipped/paused deliveries), 'skip'/'unskip' (one upcoming delivery date), 'set_skip_dates' (replace the
