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 →
buy Pay for a quoted card ~96
SPENDS USDC: pays the exact total of a quote to its per-order forwarder contract on Base (it can only forward to the card provider or refund the agent). Only for an order in status awaiting_payment, before pay_by, and within this server's per-payment cap. Never call twice for the same order; after any in-flight error, poll order_status instead.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| order_id | string | yes | order_id returned by quote. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_price Indicative price ~114
Free. The indicative USDC total for one card, read from the card URL's unpaid 402. Creates nothing and pays nothing. An unknown brand comes back as unknown_product with suggestions.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| amount | – | yes | Face value in the card's own currency, e.g. 25 or "12.50". |
| brand | string | yes | Brand name or slug from search_gift_cards, e.g. "amazon-com". |
| country | string | yes | Country name or slug, e.g. "USA" or "Canada". |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
order_status Order status ~80
Free. Status of an order quoted by this server: awaiting_payment, awaiting_owner, processing, completed, expired, declined, refunded, failed or credited, plus valid_until. Never contains the card code. A card usually completes about five minutes after payment; poll every 15-30 seconds.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| order_id | string | yes | order_id returned by quote. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
quote Lock a price (pays a small quote fee) ~176
COSTS A FEW CENTS OF USDC. Pays the card URL's quote fee, which creates the order at the card provider's exact price and returns order_id, total_usdc and pay_by. The card is always issued to the agent's OWNER, in the owner's name. If the card is over the owner's limits the owner is asked on their phone (status awaiting_owner) — then do not buy. A refusal (unknown agent, over a limit, gift cards off) is free.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| amount | – | yes | Face value in the card's own currency, e.g. 25 or "12.50". |
| brand | string | yes | Brand name or slug from search_gift_cards, e.g. "amazon-com". |
| country | string | yes | Country name or slug, e.g. "USA" or "Canada". |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
reveal_card_code Reveal the card code (one time) ~121
ONE-TIME and usually unavailable. Returns the gift-card code only if the owner turned on 'Let the agent read card codes' for this agent, and only once: SpendTheBits never serves it to the agent again. The code is bearer money — only call this when the task genuinely needs the code (the owner already has the card in their app), and never repeat or log it.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| confirm_one_time | boolean | yes | Must be true: you understand the code is served once. |
| order_id | string | yes | order_id returned by quote. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_gift_cards Search gift cards ~84
Free. Search the SpendTheBits gift-card catalogue for one country (USA, Canada and others). Returns brands with their slugs and the amounts they are sold in.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| country | string | yes | Country name or slug, e.g. "USA" or "Canada". |
| query | string | – | Brand name to search for, e.g. "starbucks". |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
