Manage Warranty Claims with Claude Desktop

You can submit new claims directly using the `create_claim` tool. This handles the initial submission process for warranty issues. You also have access to historical data. Use `list_claims` to pull a full history of all submitted claims, and `get_claim` pulls specific details if you know the claim ID.

Validate Product Eligibility on the Fly

`check_product_eligibility` tells you right away if a product qualifies for coverage. This is perfect when dealing with customers who think their item should be covered but aren't sure. The tool also lets you `register_product`, which establishes initial manufacturer warranty records for new items.

View and Sync Policy Details

`get_policy` pulls specific details about a policy using an ID and order name. It's useful when the client needs to verify coverage terms quickly. For teams managing inventory, `sync_products` keeps your Shopify records aligned with Umbrellar’s database, keeping everything accurate.
