Frequently asked questions
Can I check the status of a specific order using its ID?
Yes! Use the get_order tool with the Order ID. Your agent will return the current fulfillment status, tracking information, and shipment details associated with that order.
How do I see current inventory levels across different warehouse locations?
You can use the get_inventory_levels_by_location tool. It provides a breakdown of on-hand, fulfillable, and committed inventory for each ShipBob fulfillment center.
Is it possible to cancel an order through the AI agent?
Yes, if the order is in a cancellable state, you can use the cancel_order tool by providing the Order ID to stop the fulfillment process.
How does LangChain connect to MCP servers?
Use langchain-mcp-adapters to create an MCP client. LangChain discovers all tools and wraps them as native LangChain tools compatible with any agent type.
Which LangChain agent types work with MCP?
All agent types including ReAct, OpenAI Functions, and custom agents work with MCP tools. The tools appear as standard LangChain tools after the adapter wraps them.
Can I trace MCP tool calls in LangSmith?
Yes. All MCP tool invocations appear as traced steps in LangSmith, showing input parameters, response payloads, latency, and token usage.
