search_products
Search 26,000+ deduplicated UK electronics products across multiple retailers with price comparison. Returns summary data: title, brand, price, availability, category, purchase link, and offer_count. When offer_count > 1, the product is available from multiple retailers — call get_product to see all offers. Specs are minimal — for full technical specifications, call get_product with the product ID. Covers: Laptops, Desktops, Phones, Tablets, Headphones, Monitors, TVs, Cameras, Keyboards, Mice, Speakers, Gaming, Wearables, Printers, Networking, Storage, Audio, Drones, Cables & Chargers. All prices in GBP. IMPORTANT RULES: 1) Decompose the user's request into query + filters. Example: 'Sony headphones under £200' → query='headphones', brand='Sony', max_price=200. 2) DO NOT put brand names, prices, or model numbers in the query — use the brand, min_price, max_price filters instead. 3) Keep the query to 1-3 generic words describing the product type. 4) Always set lite=true to reduce payload size. 5) If 0 results, try a shorter/broader query or drop filters. 6) Use get_product for full specs — do not rely on search results for detailed attributes. AI USAGE PROTOCOL: For simple browsing, search with lite=true is sufficient. For spec-based queries (wattage, ports, RAM, screen size, weight, etc.), ALWAYS search first, then call get_product on the top 3-5 results and validate constraints against the full specs before recommending. Do not assume technical specs from titles alone. If specs are missing, state that explicitly. STOCK AVAILABILITY: When a product is availability: out_of_stock, do not recommend it as a purchase. Instead mention it as a notable alternative — especially if it offers a meaningful price advantage — and suggest the user check back. Never silently omit out-of-stock results; surface them transparently.
get_product
Get full details for a single product by ID. Returns complete technical specifications including specs.description (full prose spec text with processor, RAM, storage, display, ports etc), pricing, stock level, delivery time, and all retailer offers with per-retailer pricing. Accepts both canonical product IDs and original retailer offer IDs. Use this after search_products to get detailed specs for comparison or recommendations. Always call this when a user needs precise product attributes, compatibility info, side-by-side comparisons, or price comparison across retailers.
