How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security46
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not yet verified: we couldn't confirm whether this endpoint requires it. View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port redirected somewhere other than https, so enforcement is unproven. View diagnostics → Unverified
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability0
- Transport check failed: declared streamable-http, but the endpoint redirected instead of responding directly. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
shipcloud_create_address Save an address ~51
WRITE: save an address in the shipcloud address book (no shipment, no cost). Returns its id. It cannot be removed through this server. POST /addresses.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| address | object | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
shipcloud_create_pickup_request Request a carrier pickup ~202
WRITE: order a carrier (dpd, gls, hermes or ups) to pick up parcels at an address in a time window. A real request goes to the carrier and cannot be cancelled through this server; carriers may bill pickups. Without `shipment_ids` the carrier collects all shipments not yet picked up; return shipments cannot be picked up. Requires confirm=true after the user agreed. POST /pickup_requests.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| carrier | string | yes | – |
| confirm | boolean | yes | Must be exactly true. Set it ONLY after the user has explicitly agreed to order this carrier pickup. Ask first; do not assume. |
| earliest | string | yes | Earliest pickup, ISO 8601 with timezone. |
| latest | string | yes | Latest pickup, ISO 8601 with timezone. |
| pickup_address | object | yes | Where the carrier collects the parcels. |
| shipment_ids | array | – | Only these shipments; omitted = all not yet picked up. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
shipcloud_create_prepared_shipment Create a prepared shipment (no label) ~314
WRITE: save a shipment in shipcloud WITHOUT buying a label (create_shipping_label=false). Nothing is charged and no carrier is contacted; a prepared shipment can be deleted any time. Returns the shipment id. To buy the label use shipcloud_create_shipment_with_label. POST /shipments.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| carrier | string | yes | Carrier acronym (shipcloud_list_carriers shows the ones this account can use). |
| description | string | – | Contents. Mandatory for UPS international/non-standard and DHL Express. Shipments that need a customs declaration (outside the EU) are not supported here: create them in the shipcloud backoffice. |
| from | object | – | Sender full address. If omitted, shipcloud uses the default sender address of the account. |
| label_format | string | – | Label format, e.g. pdf_a6 or zpl2_4x6in_203dpi; carriers support different ones (shipcloud_list_carriers shows them per service). |
| notification_email | string | – | shipcloud emails this address on tracking updates. |
| packages | array | yes | The packages (one entry for a single parcel). Several packages: only UPS supports them. |
| reference_number | string | – | Your own reference (max 30 characters), searchable later. |
| service | string | – | Service (default standard). Which services a carrier offers: shipcloud_list_carriers. |
| to | object | yes | Recipient full address (company or last_name needed). Read a saved address first to copy its fields. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
shipcloud_create_shipment_with_label Buy a shipping label (costs money) ~519
WRITE, COSTS MONEY: create a shipment AND buy its shipping label at the carrier (create_shipping_label=true). With a LIVE key this charges the shipcloud account (price in EUR excl. VAT; get it first from shipcloud_get_shipment_quote) and creates a real label; with the sandbox key it is free and fake. A label can only be cancelled before the carrier's cut-off (about 17:00-20:00) with shipcloud_delete_shipment. The request is sent ONCE and never retried: if it times out or fails with a server error, the label may still exist, so check shipcloud_list_shipments with the same reference_number before trying again. An existing-label lookup and same-instance guard reduce duplicates but are not atomic or global: simultaneous requests across Worker instances can buy duplicate labels. Serialize purchases for each reference and check shipcloud after an uncertain result. Requires confirm=true after the user agreed to the purchase; give a unique reference_number. Shipments needing customs papers are not supported here. POST /shipments.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| carrier | string | yes | Carrier acronym (shipcloud_list_carriers shows the ones this account can use). |
| confirm | boolean | yes | Must be exactly true. Set it ONLY after the user has explicitly agreed to buy this label and be charged for it. Ask first; do not assume. |
| description | string | – | Contents. Mandatory for UPS international/non-standard and DHL Express. Shipments that need a customs declaration (outside the EU) are not supported here: create them in the shipcloud backoffice. |
| from | object | – | Sender full address. If omitted, shipcloud uses the default sender address of the account. |
| label_format | string | – | Label format, e.g. pdf_a6 or zpl2_4x6in_203dpi; carriers support different ones (shipcloud_list_carriers shows them per service). |
| notification_email | string | – | shipcloud emails this address on tracking updates. |
| packages | array | yes | The packages (one entry for a single parcel). Several packages: only UPS supports them. |
| reference_number | string | yes | Your own unique reference (max 30 characters). Required: it is how a possible duplicate is found after a timeout. |
| service | string | – | Service (default standard). Which services a carrier offers: shipcloud_list_carriers. |
| to | object | yes | Recipient full address (company or last_name needed). Read a saved address first to copy its fields. |
No output schema declared.

shipcloud_create_tracker Track a shipment by its tracking number ~97
WRITE: have shipcloud track a parcel that was NOT created with shipcloud, by the carrier's tracking number (only for your own carrier contracts; carriers dhl, dpd, gls, ups). Creates a tracker; no label, no shipping charge. POST /trackers.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

| carrier | string | yes | – |
| carrier_tracking_no | string | yes | The carrier's tracking number. |
| notification_email | string | – | – |
No output schema declared.

shipcloud_delete_shipment Delete a shipment / cancel its label ~138
WRITE, DESTRUCTIVE: delete a shipment. A prepared shipment (no label) can be deleted any time. For a shipment with a label, shipcloud cancels the label only before the carrier's cut-off (about 17:00-20:00); afterwards it fails. Cannot be undone. Requires confirm=true after the user agreed. DELETE /shipments/{id}.
