poison.long-descriptiontool get_parcel_quote: …Live shipping rates for one parcel sent from a US origin — inside the US, or to Canada, the UK, Germany or Australia — across USPS, UPS and FedEx, and DHL Express on the German and Australian lanes. Describe the item in plain words and the packed box size and weight are estimated. Give exact dimensions and weight to skip the estimate. Returns up to five purchasable services, each as one checkout total with the SMKlog fee inside it (the fee is itemized only on the checkout receipt) and, where the carrier publishes one, its own counter price for the same parcel beside it. Manual review: oversized, palletized or crated shipments are priced by a person. Clients that declare the io.modelcontextprotocol/tasks extension get a durable task handle (poll it with tasks/get, answers usually take a few business hours). Others get a pointer to the human review page. Shipping labels are bought on smklog.com, not through this tool. Choosing between the tools: use this one to answer what a shipment would cost. Then hand the quote_id it returns to create_checkout_link once the human has settled on shipping this exact parcel, so the pair costs one carrier call rather than two. Use get_price_index instead for typical or historical prices: it is free, while this tool spends a rate-limited carrier call every time. Parameter rules: - weight_lb, length_in, width_in and height_in count only as a set of four, each above zero. Leave any one out and all four are ignored in favor of the estimate, so never send weight alone. - Online pricing covers one parcel up to 150 lb, 108 in on the longest side and 165 in of length plus girth. A heavier or larger box, a quantity above 1, or a product worded as freight (pallet, LTL, truckload, machinery, bulk) returns no rates and goes to a person. - product is the item itself, up to 200 characters. A bare route ("to Canada"), a bare weight ("7 lbs") or a question is refused as product_not_recognized before any carrier is called. - from_zip must be a real 5-digit US ZIP (ZIP+4 is trimmed to five), or the call fails with invalid_us_zip. - to_zip follows to_country: a 5-digit ZIP for US, otherwise that country's own postal code handed to the carriers as typed. A to_country outside US, CA, GB, DE and AU is refused as international_unsupported_online, so do not retry it with a different box. - Allowance: 80 calls an hour per client, shared with the public /quote route.…
