sh.agentcard/agentcard

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 abandons) the payment in their own browser with their own payment method; you never see or handle payment credentials. If a one-time phone verification is needed first, this tool automatically sends the user a code and tells you where it went: ask the user for the code, call verify_phone with it, then call add_funds again.

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.

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 limit, view details), approval records the user's consent and the REQUESTING app completes the action from its side when it retries with the approval id.

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, check out") so it continues the SAME order. Omit it (or set new_order=true) only to start a fresh order. It will ask for the delivery address and have you confirm the cart and total. CHECKOUT (which charges a one-time card) happens ONLY after the user explicitly confirms in a later message — relay the confirmation through `request` ("yes, place the order") on the SAME conversation_id. RELAY REPLIES VERBATIM: when the user answers a question from this tool ("yes", "the 16 oz one", "use my other card"), pass their reply through `request` as-is on the same conversation_id — do NOT rewrite it into a fresh full order command; a rewritten command reads as a NEW ask and the confirmation never lands. NEVER use new_order (or drop the conversation_id) to recover from an error or a refused checkout — that discards the cart and any pending confirmation. Stay on the same conversation_id and follow the error's instruction instead; new_order is ONLY for the user starting an unrelated order. If it hands out a merchant login link (hosted connect), just reply on the SAME conversation_id once the user finishes (e.g. "done — I logged in") and it verifies the link itself. Logins started here have no pending_id, so the buy_connect / buy_connect_status pair does not apply to them. Call get_instructions FIRST for the current usage guide before your first buy.

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. This tool pairs only with buy_connect_status and only tracks logins it started itself; a login link handed out by the conversational `buy` tool has no pending_id and is verified inside that same buy conversation (the user replies there, e.g. "done — I logged in").

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 those, reply to the same `buy` conversation ("done — I logged in") instead of calling this.

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

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

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.

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 user explicitly confirms they want the rewards card closed.

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 card once and lock it with their passkey or master password; Agentcard never sees the number). A vaulted card pays through the buy tool, where the user approves each purchase on their device with their passkey or master password; it never becomes a card number you type, so after vault_started (or vault_ready, when a card is already in the vault) use buy for purchases instead of calling create_card again. If the user specifically needs a card NUMBER, that is an Agentcard funded from their cash balance, which requires KYC the first time: only after the user agrees, call create_card with source "issued". Established users: the saved default decides (get_settings default_payment: their chosen added card, or the wallet balance); with no saved default, an active ADDED card wins, otherwise the cash balance. Per-call overrides: connected_card_id issues against a specific added card, source "issued" forces the cash balance, restart_setup mints a fresh vault link. If the balance is short on the issued path, top up with add_funds. Connections through a company OAuth client have NO card count or amount limits; only first-party personal accounts have per-plan caps. Call get_plan for the limits in effect.

Save a bank account as a withdrawal destination for the user's cash balance. Supports US bank accounts (ACH: routing + account number) and international bank accounts (SWIFT wire: IBAN + BIC). Ask the user for their bank details conversationally, then call this once. After saving, use withdraw to request a payout.

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.

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.)

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.

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. Card details are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM.

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.

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).

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.

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, or whenever the user asks about their plan, limits, billing, or upgrading. To cancel a paid plan, the gated tool cancel_plan also exists; call it by name even though it isn't in the tools list.

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.

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 viewing card details or making transactions requires explicit approval). Authorization settings are read-only here; change the rest with the gated tool update_settings, calling it by name even though it isn't in the tools list.

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 their Agentcard vault card form directly (any card, typed once, locked with their passkey or master password, never seen by Agentcard) and works on personal logins too. Pass merchant + amount_cents to open the wallet ON the payment-approval sheet (the user picks a card and approves that exact charge) instead of the card list. Multi-use but short-lived (about 15 minutes — the exact moment is in expiresAt); mint a fresh one when it expires. The wallet link only works for app connections (OAuth).

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) call again with the { ticket, code } to verify. If the identifier belongs to a different account, the two accounts are MERGED (the identity-verified account survives and gains the other's email/phone, so both sign in to one account); if no account has it, it is simply added to the current account.

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 one. Not the same as list_cards (the virtual cards Agentcard issues).

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_card. When the shared wallet is enabled, `wallet` lists every card across all connected apps and companies, each tagged with its source (kind personal/company, the issuing app, and the company where applicable); cards created by another app or company are read-only from this session: get_card_details and close_card will not work on them.

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.

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 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; company-connected sessions have no personal inbox.

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.

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.

List the user's saved bank accounts for withdrawals, masked (bank name and last four only). Use a recipient's id as recipient_id with withdraw. If the list is empty, collect the user's bank details and call create_withdrawal_recipient first.

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 full skip set; [] resumes all), 'update_setting' (change a setting). Locale settings: subscription_size (meals, e.g. 8), calorie_preference (low_calorie|both|moderate), diets (array), longevity_allergens (array), ingredient_allergies (array), default_window ('9am - 6pm'|'3pm - 7pm'|'9am - 12pm'), delivery_instructions (text). Link the merchant first.

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 smart_excluded to keep a card out of the ranking without removing it.

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.

Read the message history of a support conversation

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 pay as you would have. Never a card number.

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 list_codes shows the user's code history; call it by name even though it isn't in the tools list.

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.

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).

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

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.

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 rule fields below or a raw `privileges` array.

Send a message in an existing support conversation

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 what was updated on the card's spend limit, and whether the change needs a new card.

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.
