Amazon's Product Advertising API is gone. No agent-safe replacement existed.
Search products and pull detail, offers, reviews, and variations through one normalized schema over a pluggable backend — SerpApi, Rainforest, the official Creators API, or keyless scraping. Agent CLI Guidelines baked in.

No cart, no checkout, no mutations. Every result is data plus a /dp/ deep link — the hand-off point where a human buys.
schema --json, an embedded agent guide, stable exit codes, and {error,code,remediation} so an agent never has to guess.
--limit and --select keep responses inside an agent's context budget. Bounded by default.
Attacker-controllable titles, descriptions, and reviews are wrapped ‹untrusted›…‹/untrusted› by default.
Swap backends without relearning fields. provider list --json describes each one's capability, cost, and risk.
Read from stdin, stored in the OS keyring, redacted in output — never on argv.
