Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.

Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| get_ratesA | Get live UPS shipping quotes for a lane. Compares every available service with negotiated account prices and estimated delivery dates, or prices one specific service_code (07 Worldwide Express, 65 Saver, 08 Expedited, 11 Standard). Quote only — nothing is booked. Origin defaults to the configured ship-from address. |
| track_shipmentA | Track a UPS shipment by tracking number (e.g. 1Z...): current status, scheduled/actual delivery date, and recent scan events. Note: UPS retains tracking data for ~120 days. |
| landed_costA | Estimate import duties, VAT and brokerage fees for an international shipment (what the receiver — or the shipper, under DDP — pays at import). One commodity line per product; an HS code improves accuracy. Not applicable to intra-EU shipments. |

TDQS
Scored across 3 tools
Each tool targets a completely distinct UPS workflow: tracking an existing shipment, getting carrier rates, and estimating import costs. There is no overlap or realistic chance of selecting the wrong tool for a task.
track_shipment and get_rates follow a clear verb_noun pattern in snake_case. landed_cost is still readable and consistent in style, but it breaks the imperative verb pattern, making it a minor deviation.
Three tools is a well-scoped count for this focused UPS visibility and cost-estimation server. Each tool covers a meaningful capability with no redundant entries.
The set covers the apparent purpose of tracking and cost estimation well: track an existing shipment, compare rates, and estimate landed cost. Shipping execution operations like creating or canceling a label are absent, but that seems outside the server's deliberate scope.
