Query stock levels inside VS Code Copilot

The `list_inventory` tool enables your team to verify stock quantities across all fulfillment centers from the chat panel. Right. Let's move. Your developers can debug stockout edge cases without ever leaving their code editor. If you need specific item details, the tool `get_product` retrieves exact weights, SKUs, and dimensions. This ensures your code is built against the actual physical properties of your inventory.

Test order logic using this MCP Server

This MCP Server provides `create_logistics_order` so your agent can submit test or live shipments during development. This allows your engineering team to validate API payloads against the real logistics schema. You can immediately follow up by calling `get_logistics_order` or `list_logistics_orders` to verify the state of the submitted shipment. Bottom line: you don't have to leave your code to check if your API calls succeeded.

Manage incoming stock and customer returns

The `list_inbounds` tool lets your agent check incoming shipments to coordinate warehouse receiving schedules. This keeps your team updated on when new stock will hit the shelves. For reverse logistics, the agent calls `list_returns` or `get_return` to fetch customer return statuses. This lets your team write reliable error-handling scripts for returned merchandise.
