Tools

Tool What it does
search_deals Search current deals by keywords, category, seller and price range. Returns name, seller, price as shown by the seller, when we checked it, expiry date and links.
get_deal Full details of one deal. For JoinTheDeal group deals: what is included, goal buyers, deal length, region, payment and tax terms.
list_categories Categories and sellers that have deals now, with counts.
request_group_deal Gives you the link to our group-deal request form for an item. It does not submit anything and takes no personal information.

All tools are read-only. None of them buys, pays, sends messages or changes anything.

Example prompts

  1. “Find rice cooker deals in Southern California under $200.” → uses search_deals; lists matching offers with seller, price, checked time and link.
  2. “What categories of deals does JoinTheDeal have right now?” → uses list_categories; returns categories and sellers with counts.
  3. “Tell me everything about the MALANG massage chair group deal.” → uses search_deals then get_deal; returns the group price, what is included, buyer goal and payment terms.
  4. “I want a group deal on an LG washer and dryer. How do I ask for one?” → uses request_group_deal; returns the request form link for you to fill in.

About the data

  • Group deals are sold by JoinTheDeal. Your card is held, not charged, until the group goal is met. Southern California delivery only. Sales tax extra.
  • Deal Finder offers are sold by other sellers. The price is what the seller’s own site showed when we checked it. Prices change, so confirm on the seller’s site.
  • No affiliate links. No “was” prices or made-up discounts.
  • The same data is at deals.json and llms.txt.

Privacy

The connector asks for no personal information. Our usage log keeps only the date and time, the request type, the tool name and the app name the AI client reports. It does not keep search words or chat content. Details: Privacy Policy. Terms: Terms of Use.
