note: >-
  A recommended x-agentic-access contract, classified per MCP tool. The tool names, required
  parameters and consequence-bearing behaviours are read from the live tools/list response; the
  escalation rules restate the provider's OWN published agent policy, which it states in three
  places (robots.txt, agents.md, llms.txt). Nothing here is a policy API Evangelist invented on
  Glowbar's behalf — where the provider is silent, the field says so.
provider_stated_policy:
  agent_access_permitted: true
  sanctioned_interfaces:
  - https://glowbar.com/api/ucp/mcp

  prohibited:
  - Scripted form fills against the HTML checkout
  - Browser automation that finalizes payment
  - End-to-end agent flows that complete payment without contemporaneous human approval
  human_approval_required_for: [payment, checkout completion, order placement]
  quote: 'Checkouts are for humans. Do NOT complete checkout, payment, or order placement automatically.'

  crawl_policy:

  mechanism: meta.ucp-agent.profile — a dereferenceable agent profile URI
  anonymous_discovery_permitted: true
  note: Agents must identify themselves with a fetchable profile on every call, but need no credential to discover the tool set.

  note: Buyer-scoped; anonymous callers can only read orders they created in-session.
- tool: create_cart
  action_class: write
  consequence: low
  reversible: true
  reversal: cancel_cart
  token: none
  escalation: none
  rationale: Creates no financial obligation and is undone by a published tool.
- tool: update_cart
  action_class: write
  consequence: low
  reversible: true
  reversal: update_cart
  token: none
  escalation: none
- tool: cancel_cart
  action_class: write
  consequence: low
  reversible: false
  token: none
  escalation: none
  rationale: Destructive but only of a draft basket; no buyer harm.
- tool: create_checkout
  action_class: write
  consequence: medium
  reversible: true
  reversal: cancel_checkout
  token: none
  escalation: notify
  rationale: Reserves nothing and charges nothing, but begins a purchase flow the buyer should be aware of.
- tool: update_checkout
  action_class: write
  consequence: medium
  reversible: true
  reversal: update_checkout
  token: none
  escalation: notify
  note: Carries the shipping address, so it moves buyer PII.
- tool: cancel_checkout
  action_class: write
  consequence: low
  reversible: false
  token: none
  escalation: none
- tool: complete_checkout
  action_class: write
  consequence: high-financial
  reversible: false
  reversal: none-via-api
  out_of_band_remedy: 'Exchange or store credit on unopened retail product within 21 days (https://glowbar.com/policies/refund-policy)'
  token: meta.idempotency-key (required by schema)
  escalation: human-approval-required
  approval_type: explicit, contemporaneous buyer approval at the moment of payment
  rationale: >-
    The only operation that moves money and the only one with no API reversal. The provider
    mandates human approval, the schema mandates an idempotency key, and the remedy afterwards
    is a manual returns process yielding store credit rather than a refund. An agent must treat
    this as a one-way door.
