What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 8, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

• search_indices

  Find PackIndex codes by material, input, format or plain words ('polypropylene', 'recovered paper', 'natural gas', 'kraftliner', 'corrugated box'). Returns published codes with layer (L0 inputs, L1 raw materials, L2 semi-finished, L3 finished packs), region and unit — no prices.

• get_live_index

  Today's value of one PackIndex code — commodity inputs (L0: oil, gas, power, metals, recovered fibre), raw materials (L1: PP, HDPE, pulp…), semi-finished (L2: kraftliner, films…) or finished packs (L3) — in USD (and your currency), with 1-week / 1-month / 3-month / 1-year change

• get_index_history

  Price history for any PackIndex code (L0-L3), one value per date: every point for up to 3 months, weekly closes for longer spans, with the change between points. Depth follows the caller's plan (observer 3mo · essential 3mo · professional 24mo · intelligence 24mo); free history e

• get_all_indices

  Page through index values by layer: L0 primary inputs, L1 raw materials, L2 semi-finished (paid plans) and L3 finished packs. Prefer get_prices for specific codes; use this for portfolio scans. Paginate with limit/offset (next_offset is returned while more rows remain).

• get_carbon_index

  Carbon footprint: finished packs (L3) in kg CO2e per unit with grade A-D; raw materials and semi-finished (board grades, pulps, polymers, aluminium, steel, cullet) in kg CO2e per tonne, virgin and PEF CFF, optionally at your recycled content. For Scope 3 Category 1: factor × unit

• packindex_query

  Ask a plain-English question about packaging costs, indices or which PACKIQ agent to use. Returns a structured, citable answer grounded in PackIndex data.

• get_index_forecast

  12-week forward value for any PackIndex code — inputs, raw materials, semi-finished and finished packs: current level, projection, projected change and confidence. Intelligence plan.

• get_prices

  Today's values for up to 20 PackIndex codes in one call (any layer: oil, gas, resins, pulp, board, films, finished packs) with 1w/1m/3m/1y change — for watchlists and cost models. Free callers get 12-week delayed reference values.

• check_quote

  Is this supplier price fair? Compares a quoted price (any currency; per t, kg, lb, unit…) with the PackIndex benchmark: difference %, verdict FAIR / HIGH / LOW, where the quote sits in the benchmark's 12-month range and, with a quantity, the overpayment. Free callers are compared

• price_adjustment

  Recalculate an index-linked contract price: base price and base date plus the indices it follows and their weights (the rest is fixed). Returns the adjusted price, each index's ratio and effect, and the formula. Essential plan (base dates up to 3 months back), Professional (24 mo

• compare_regions

  One material across regions — e.g. PP in Europe, US, China and the Middle East — in USD with spreads vs a reference region; add freight per unit and duty % to compare landed costs. Professional plan and above.

• explain_price_move

  Why did a price move? Splits the change over 1w / 1m / 3m / 6m / 1y into the moves of its inputs (e.g. PP ← propylene, gas, power; kraftliner ← OCC, pulp; boxes ← board grades) and the rest (margins, demand, supply). Essential plan and above.

• get_market_movers

  Biggest risers and fallers among inputs (L0), raw materials (L1) and semi-finished (L2) over 1w / 1m / 3m / 1y, optionally within a group (e.g. 'polymer', 'fibre', 'energy'). Essential plan and above.

• estimate_packaging_price

  Price a corrugated RSC box (FEFCO 0201) from internal dimensions and flute (E, B, C, F or double-wall), anchored to the PackIndex RSC benchmark, with a low/mid/high band, optional order total and a next-quarter projection. Returns the sources to cite.

• draft_packaging_spec

  Turn a plain-language packaging brief into a structured spec (format, materials, dimensions, quantity, assumptions) saved as a Design Studio project. Requires the user's OPN account (sign-in or API key); spends 1 Suite run (Intelligence includes monthly free runs).

• cost_packaging_spec

  Derive the bill of materials for a Design Studio project (or a spec object) and anchor each component to live PackIndex values. Requires the user's OPN account (sign-in or API key); spends 1 Suite run.

• compare_packaging_options

  Optimise a Design Studio project (or a material): right-size, lightweight and substitute options with cost and carbon savings anchored to PackIndex. Requires the user's OPN account (sign-in or API key); spends 1 Suite run.

• update_project

  Change a Design Studio project's order quantity, target region, contents size (boxes — enables right-sizing), name or performance floor (corrugated: ECT; folding cartons: bending stiffness in mN·m; rigid packs: top-load kgf). Free — no Suite run; a new quantity re-prices the exis

• list_my_projects

  The user's Design Studio packaging projects (id, name, pack type, status) and Suite runs left. Use it before compare_packaging_options or post_rfq when the user refers to 'my project' without an id. Requires the user's OPN account.

• post_rfq

  Request quotes on the OPN Trade Exchange for a Design Studio project or a PackIndex material code to up to 3 suppliers. listing_ids (from find_suppliers) or, by default, the 3 best-matching listings get an RFQ — needs a verified e-mail and an Exchange plan with RFQs (Business+).

• find_suppliers

  Who can quote a material or a Design Studio project: live Trade Exchange listings (price vs PackIndex benchmark) plus matched converters from the verified supplier network, filtered by country. Use before post_rfq. A project_id needs the user's OPN account; a material code works

• get_my_rfqs

  The user's sent RFQs with how many suppliers received each and how many responded; pass rfq_id for the responses (bids and, once a supplier responds, their contact).

• search_exchange_listings

  Live supplier offers on the OPN Trade Exchange, filterable by PackIndex material code and origin, each with its PackIndex benchmark (live on paid plans, 12-week delayed otherwise). No contact details — RFQs happen on the Exchange.

• packiq_quote_analysis

  Benchmark every line of a pasted supplier packaging quote against live PackIndex finished-pack indices: deviation from the benchmark and a verdict per line (Sharp, Competitive, High, Overpriced), with market evidence for lines more than 8% above index. Requires the user's OPN acc

• packiq_epr_fees

  Estimate annual Extended Producer Responsibility fees for a packaging portfolio across active schemes (EU member states, UK, US states, Canada, Chile, Brazil): fee band per format, total liability by market and a reformulation priority list. Requires the user's OPN account; costs

• packiq_recyclability

  Grade a packaging structure on the EU PPWR recyclability scale (A to F) from its substrate, layers, inks, closures and adhesives: grade, reasoning, EPR eco-modulation impact and options to reach a higher grade. Requires the user's OPN account; costs 4 PACKIQ credits (refunded aut
