Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| groupon_healthcheckA | Resolves the credential the way real tools do, then makes one authenticated request to www.groupon.com. Reports which source supplied the credential, whether www.groupon.com accepted it, the round-trip time, and a plain-English hint distinguishing 'no credential' from 'credential rejected' from 'a www.groupon.com-side problem'. Read-only; never returns the credential itself. Call this when a real tool fails and you want to know which hop broke. |
| groupon_search_dealsA | Search or browse Groupon deals for a city (division). Pass |
| groupon_get_dealA | Fetch a single Groupon deal by its permalink slug (or full deal URL). Returns the slim projection by default (title, subtitle, merchant, price, rating, division, url, and every option's id/title/price/isSoldOut — pass an option id to groupon_purchase); set view="full" for Groupon's whole record. |
| groupon_list_categoriesA | Fetch Groupon's category taxonomy tree. Returns a slim {title, url, children} tree by default; set view="full" for Groupon's whole payload. |
| groupon_view_cartA | View the items currently in your signed-in Groupon cart. Requires a Groupon session (GROUPON_SESSION_COOKIE, or the fetchproxy browser bridge signed into groupon.com). |
| groupon_purchaseA | Add a Groupon deal option to your cart, ready for checkout. Once confirmed it adds the item, re-reads the cart to verify the line quantity, and returns the checkout URL for YOU to complete payment. It CANNOT place the order — Groupon checkout is native Apple/Google Pay, card, or PayPal. Asks the user to confirm first: a confirmation prompt where the client supports one; otherwise the first call returns a preview and a confirmToken, and only a repeat call with that token proceeds (see MCP_CONFIRM_MODE). |
| groupon_clear_cartA | Remove ALL items from your signed-in Groupon cart. Once confirmed it removes every line item and re-reads the cart to verify it is empty. Asks the user to confirm first: a confirmation prompt where the client supports one; otherwise the first call returns a preview and a confirmToken, and only a repeat call with that token proceeds (see MCP_CONFIRM_MODE). |

TDQS
Scored across 7 tools
Each tool targets a distinct action: cart viewing, cart clearing, deal lookup, category browsing, searching, purchasing, and diagnostics. The only near-neighbors are view_cart vs clear_cart, but their descriptions make the destructive read-only distinction explicit.
All names use a groupon_ prefix with snake_case verb_noun structure (view_cart, clear_cart, get_deal, list_categories, search_deals), which is highly predictable. Minor deviations: 'healthcheck' is a bare noun and 'purchase' lacks a noun object, so they break the verb_noun pattern slightly.
Seven tools is well-scoped for a deal-browsing plus cart-management server. Each tool covers a distinct capability with no filler or redundant entries.
Core lifecycle is covered: browse/search, inspect a deal, add to cart, view cart, clear cart, plus diagnostics. Minor gaps exist around granular cart editing (removing or updating a single line item) and order history, but the primary shopping flow is intact.
