Short answer

How can I audit my shipment history with AI?

Your AI pulls your tracking list and inspects individual delivery journeys to find specific statuses or missing packages. You can then tell the AI to mark specific shipments as finished once you've verified them. This breakdown shows what you can do.

Audit outcomes

Where your data lands

These are the specific results your AI produces after processing AfterShip data.

LOGS

Complete shipment lists

The AI uses list_trackings to pull every shipment in your history. You get a clean view of all active and past deliveries.

STATUS

Detailed delivery paths

By running get_tracking, the AI examines the specific milestones of a single package. You see exactly where a shipment stalled or succeeded.

CLEANUP

Verified delivery logs

Once you confirm a package arrived, the AI uses mark_tracking_completed to update your records. This keeps your active dashboard clean.

HUMAN

Disputed deliveries

If the AI finds a shipment that is stuck or shows a conflicting status, it flags the issue for you to handle manually.

    No. There are no tools available to modify shipment details like addresses or recipient info.

    It uses the list_trackings tool to see everything in your account and then targets specific IDs you mention.
