What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

• get_inventory_overview

• get_reorder_recommendations

  Use this when the merchant asks what to reorder, how much to buy, or which critical/warning items need action. Quantities reuse Forthcast's live lead-time, MOQ, case-pack, open-PO, location, and supplier minimum-order-value logic; this tool does not create a PO. Requires a connec

• list_purchase_orders

  Use this when the merchant asks what is ordered, drafted, open, partially received, received, cancelled, overdue, expected, or associated with a named supplier. Results are grouped by PO; this tool does not approve, receive, cancel, or otherwise modify an order. Requires a connec

  Use this when someone asks how many units to order, given demand, lead time, stock on hand and on order, and supplier rules such as MOQ, case pack or a minimum order value. Sizes the line the way Forthcast sizes a purchase-order line and lists every rule that changed the quantity

• forecast_demand_series
