Validate this address: 123 Main St, Austin, TX 78701.

I've validated the address. It's a valid residential address in Austin, Texas. Would you like to check shipping rates for a package to this location?

Retrieving carrier accounts... You have 3 active accounts: FedEx, UPS, and USPS. Would you like to see the profile metadata for any of them?

Track the shipment with ID sh_123456789.

Checking tracking status... Shipment sh_123456789 is currently 'Out for Delivery' via FedEx. It was last scanned at the local distribution center. Should I notify you when it's delivered?

Yes! Use the `validate_address` tool. Your agent will check if the address is valid, residential/commercial, and formatted correctly according to carrier standards.
