Can I see my current account balance via AI?

Yes! Use the `get_account` tool and provide the Account Identifier. Your agent will retrieve the current balance and available funds for that specific funding account.

How do I find the correct ID (UTID) for a specific gift card brand?

Run the `get_catalog` query. The agent will retrieve the full list of available brands and items, each with its unique UTID required for placing orders.

Is it possible to track if a reward has been delivered?

Absolutely. Use the `get_order` tool and provide the Order ID. The agent will retrieve the status, delivery details, and even the credentials if the reward is ready.
