Can I validate multiple addresses at once to avoid shipping surcharges?

Yes! Use the `validate_addresses` tool. You can provide an array of address objects, and the agent will return validation results for up to 250 addresses in a single request.

How does the AI choose the best shipping rate for me?

You can use the `create_label_rate_shopper` tool with a specific strategy: 'cheapest', 'fastest', or 'best_value'. The agent will automatically compare rates across your carriers and purchase the label that fits your criteria.

Can I track a package if I only have the tracking number and carrier code?

Absolutely. Use the `track_package` tool by providing the `carrier_code` (e.g., 'ups', 'fedex') and the `tracking_number`. The agent will retrieve the latest status and location updates.
