Search Amazon products by keyword. Returns an Opportunity Score (0–100) for each result based on demand, rating gap, and price.
AI agents call amazon_search to retrieve information from Intelligence Api without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries Amazon product data and computes a scoring metric, then returns results to the caller. Although the server description mentions autonomous USDC payments via x402, those payments are infrastructure for access control, not a direct function of this tool. The tool itself performs read-only retrieval of product information and calculated scores.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Search[es] Amazon products by keyword' and 'Returns an Opportunity Score'. The verb 'search' and 'returns' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.
