update_product

Implementation Reference

• src/tools/product-tools.js:100-115 (handler)

  The handler function that implements the core logic of the 'update_product' tool. It destructures the productId and spreads the rest as productData, calls the ShipBob API client to perform the update, and returns a formatted success or error response.

  handler: async ({ productId, ...productData }) => {
    try {
      const updatedProduct = await shipbobClient.updateProduct(productId, productData);
      return {
        content: [{ 
          type: "text", 
          text: `Product updated successfully: ${JSON.stringify(updatedProduct, null, 2)}`
        }]
      };
    } catch (error) {
      return {
        content: [{ type: "text", text: `Error updating product: ${error.message}` }],
        isError: true
      };
    }
  }

• src/tools/product-tools.js:88-99 (schema)

    sku: z.string().optional().describe("Stock keeping unit"),
    barcode: z.string().optional().describe("Product barcode/UPC"),
