## Tools
- get_price_position (Check Competitive Price Position) - Percentile-rank a single product price against tracked Amazon competitors in a CPG category.

Use when a multi-channel CPG brand asks where their Amazon listing price
sits against 100+ tracked products — e.g. checking whether a $4.99 granola
is competitively positioned on Amazon, auditing whether a retail MSRP is
reasonable against Amazon reality before a buyer meeting, or sanity-checking
a wholesale-to-retail markup.

Returns:
    percentile_rank (string, e.g. "72nd percentile"),
    price_index_label (ratio vs. category median),
    position (Value / Parity / Premium),
    category (resolved name),
    last_refreshed (ISO timestamp),
    cta (link to full per-SKU report).

Args:
    price: Product price in dollars (e.g. 4.99). Must be > 0 and <= 10000.
    category: Exact category name — Grocery & Gourmet Food, Health & Beauty,
        Household, or Pet Supplies. Case-insensitive. Call list_categories
        first to confirm available names.
 Endpoint: https://pricepilot-mcp.onrender.com/mcp
- get_category_trend (See Category Pricing Trend) - Report the 30-day Amazon price-trend direction for a CPG category.

Use when a pricing ops lead asks whether category pricing is rising,
stable, or falling — e.g. setting retail promo calendar against an Amazon
backdrop, deciding whether to raise wholesale prices during inflationary
windows, or catching a price war before it spills into their channel.

Returns:
    trend_direction (Rising / Stable / Falling / Insufficient Data),
    trend_window ("30 days"),
    confidence (note with product count),
    category (resolved name),
    last_refreshed,
    cta.

Args:
    category: Exact category name — Grocery & Gourmet Food, Health & Beauty,
        Household, or Pet Supplies. Case-insensitive.
 Endpoint: https://pricepilot-mcp.onrender.com/mcp
- get_category_overview (Get Category Pricing Overview) - Return pricing-tier breakdown and category stats for an Amazon CPG category.

Use when a brand is sizing up a shelf — e.g. evaluating whether a new SKU
should enter at budget / midmarket / premium tier, benchmarking their
retail pricing against Amazon tier structure, or preparing for a retail
buyer meeting that will ask "what's the typical shelf price here?".

Returns:
    category (resolved name),
    product_count (bucketed, e.g. "100+ products"),
    price_tiers (dict with budget / midmarket / premium dollar bands,
        rounded to nearest $0.50 for abstraction),
    median_price,
    trend_direction,
    last_refreshed,
    cta.

Args:
    category: Exact category name — Grocery & Gourmet Food, Health & Beauty,
        Household, or Pet Supplies. Case-insensitive.
 Endpoint: https://pricepilot-mcp.onrender.com/mcp
- compare_products (Compare Multiple Products) - Compare multiple product prices against an Amazon CPG category's peers.

Use when a multi-channel CPG brand needs to stack-rank their SKUs — e.g.
identifying which SKUs are underpriced relative to Amazon peers, flagging
products where the Amazon Buy Box sits materially below the retail MSRP,
or building a cross-channel price-audit table for an ops review. Replaces
manual store walks and spreadsheet comparisons.

Returns:
    comparisons (list, per product: name, price, percentile_rank, position,
        vs_median),
    category,
    category_trend,
    sample_size,
    last_refreshed,
    cta.

Args:
    products: List of items, each a dict with 'name' (string) and 'price'
        (number in dollars). Minimum 1 item; 3-20 is the useful range.
    category: Exact category name — Grocery & Gourmet Food, Health & Beauty,
        Household, or Pet Supplies. Case-insensitive.
 Endpoint: https://pricepilot-mcp.onrender.com/mcp
- list_categories (List Available Categories) - List Amazon CPG categories with current product counts and trend direction.

Use as the first call in any pricing-analysis workflow — returns the exact
category names expected by other tools, plus product count and trend for
each. Lightweight; safe to call before any category-specific query.

Returns:
    categories (list of {name, product_count, trend_direction, last_refreshed}),
    note (summary of coverage),
    cta.

Covers Grocery & Gourmet Food, Health & Beauty, Household, and Pet Supplies.
 Endpoint: https://pricepilot-mcp.onrender.com/mcp
- server_status (Check Server Status) - Report PricePilot server health, data freshness, and degraded-state reason.

Use to check whether category seeding is current (staleness threshold is
10 days) before trusting downstream tool output. Returns degraded status
with reason if data is overdue; healthy otherwise.

Returns:
    server (name),
    version,
    status (healthy / degraded),
    categories_available,
    data_freshness (ISO timestamp of last seed),
    degraded_reason (null if healthy).
