The buy surface lets your agent shop at linked merchants and pay with a virtual card — all in natural language. It’s the entire shopping flow: search, cart, budget, and checkout. There are no separate search/cart/checkout tools to wire up; buy is conversational and runs the whole flow.

Supported merchants

rappi, goodeggs, and doordash. DoorDash is multi-store, so you can scope to a specific store before searching.

Use it from your agent

With the MCP server connected, describe what you want:
“Order a caesar salad from Zuni on DoorDash.”
The buy tool asks for anything it needs (delivery address, which store), builds the cart, confirms the items and total, and only places the order after you explicitly confirm. Call buy again to answer its questions or to place the order.

Use it from the CLI

agent-cards buy the caesar salad from Zuni on doordash
or open the chat with a bare agent-cards buy. The granular subcommands (buy link, buy search, buy add, buy checkout, …) are documented in the Buy CLI reference.

Linking a merchant

Before shopping, link the merchant account once:
  • One-time code: buy link <merchant> … then buy confirm <merchant> --pending <id> --code <code>.
  • Hosted browser login (DoorDash): buy connect doordash.

Budgets and safety

  • Set a spend cap with buy budget <period> <limitDollars> (daily, weekly, monthly, or total).
  • Checkout is destructive and always requires explicit confirmation (--yes on the CLI).
  • Use --idempotency-key on retries so a timed-out checkout never double-charges.
  • On Free, you get 1 lifetime order; Basic and Pro are unlimited (see Plans).

After ordering

agent-cards buy orders <merchant>            # order history
agent-cards buy track <merchant> <orderId>   # status + ETA
agent-cards buy reorder <merchant> <orderId> # re-create a past cart
Set out-of-stock handling per item with buy substitution <merchant> <orderId> <itemMsid> <similar|refund|contact>.
