## What This Tool Does
Search products, find stores, and add items to your cart across 2700+ Kroger family stores including Kroger, Ralphs, Fred Meyer, King Soopers, and more. Features batch search (pass an array of items to search all at once), allergen filtering (gluten, dairy, egg, peanut, tree nut, soy, fish, shellfish, sesame, corn, mustard, celery, lupine, sulfite), nutrition filters (max calories, fat, sugar, sodium, cholesterol, carbs; min protein, fiber), SNAP/EBT eligibility filter, and full product details including nutrition panels, allergen data, and ratings.

## Product Instructions
### Kroger Grocery

Search products, find stores, and add items to your cart across 2700+ Kroger-family stores including Kroger, Ralphs, Fred Meyer, King Soopers, Harris Teeter, and more.

#### Overview

This tool connects to the Kroger API to search their product catalog, find nearby stores, get detailed product information with nutrition and allergen data, and add items to a user's Kroger cart. It supports batch product searches (up to 25 items at once), dietary and allergen filtering, nutrition threshold filtering, and SNAP/EBT eligibility filtering. Products are filtered to only show items available both in-store and for delivery.

#### Actions

##### find_stores

Find nearby Kroger-family stores. The user's location (zip code) is injected automatically by the platform.

**Required parameters:** None (zip code is injected automatically)

**Optional parameters:**
- `radius_miles` (integer, 1-100, default 10) -- search radius in miles
- `limit` (integer, 1-50, default 10) -- maximum number of stores to return
- `chain` (string) -- filter by chain name (e.g. `Kroger`, `Ralphs`, `Fred Meyer`, `King Soopers`, `Harris Teeter`)

**Example -- find nearest stores:**
```json
{"action":"find_stores"}
```

**Example -- find Ralphs stores within 25 miles:**
```json
{"action":"find_stores","chain":"Ralphs","radius_miles":25}
```

Returns: `stores[]` (with `location_id`, `chain`, `name`, `phone`, `address` {`line1`, `city`, `state`, `zip_code`}, `latitude`, `longitude`, `open_24h`, `timezone`, `departments[]`), `total`

---

##### search_products

Search the Kroger product catalog. You MUST call `find_stores` first to get a `location_id`, then pass it to every search. Without a `location_id`, products will have no pricing or availability and results will be empty.

**Required parameters:**
- `query` (string) -- search term. For a single item: `"chicken thighs"`. To search multiple items at once, separate with `|` (pipe): `"chicken thighs | olive oil | garlic | spinach"`. Max 25 items per batch.
- `location_id` (string) -- store location ID from `find_stores`

**Optional parameters:**
- `brand` (string) -- filter by brand name
- `limit` (integer, 1-50, default 10) -- results per query
- `start` (integer) -- pagination offset
- `allergen_free` (array of strings) -- filter to products free from specified allergens. Values: `gluten`, `wheat`, `dairy`, `milk`, `lactose`, `egg`, `peanut`, `tree_nut`, `soy`, `fish`, `shellfish`, `sesame`, `corn`, `mustard`, `celery`, `lupine`, `sulfite`
- `max_calories` (number) -- max calories per serving
- `max_total_fat_g` (number) -- max total fat grams per serving
- `max_sugar_g` (number) -- max sugar grams per serving
- `max_sodium_mg` (number) -- max sodium mg per serving
- `max_cholesterol_mg` (number) -- max cholesterol mg per serving
- `max_carbohydrate_g` (number) -- max total carbohydrate grams per serving
- `min_protein_g` (number) -- min protein grams per serving
- `min_fiber_g` (number) -- min dietary fiber grams per serving
- `snap_eligible_only` (boolean) -- only return SNAP/EBT eligible products

**Example -- basic search:**
```json
{"action":"search_products","query":"organic milk","location_id":"01400441"}
```

**Example -- batch search for multiple items:**
```json
{"action":"search_products","query":"chicken thighs | olive oil | garlic | spinach","location_id":"01400441"}
```

**Example -- filtered search (gluten-free, low calorie):**
```json
{"action":"search_products","query":"crackers","location_id":"01400441","allergen_free":["gluten"],"max_calories":150}
```

**Example -- high protein, low sugar:**
```json
{"action":"search_products","query":"protein bars","location_id":"01400441","min_protein_g":15,"max_sugar_g":5}
```

**Example -- SNAP eligible only:**
```json
{"action":"search_products","query":"fresh bananas","location_id":"01400441","snap_eligible_only":true,"limit":5}
```

**Search tips for fresh produce:** Use specific terms like `"fresh zucchini"`, `"fresh limes"`, `"fresh avocado"` rather than generic single words. Generic terms like `"lime"` may return unrelated products (e.g. "Lemon Lime" soda).

Single-query response: `query`, `products[]`, `total`, `limit`, optional `filter_summary`

Batch response: `batch` (true), `queries_submitted`, `results[]` (each with `query`, `products[]`, `total`), `limit_per_query`

Each product includes: `product_id`, `upc`, `brand`, `description`, `categories[]`, `country_origin`, `snap_eligible`, `organic`, `non_gmo`, `image_url`, `price_regular`, `price_promo`, `size`, `fulfillment` {`delivery`, `pickup`, `in_store`, `ship`}, and optionally `nutrition_summary` {`serving_size`, `calories`, `protein_g`, `total_carbohydrate_g`, `total_fat_g`, `sugar_g`, `dietary_fiber_g`}

When filters are active, a `filter_summary` is included with `products_scanned`, `products_excluded`, and `products_returned` counts.

---

##### get_product_details

Get detailed information for a specific product including full nutrition, allergens, ratings, images, and aisle locations.

**Required parameters:**
- `product_id` (string) -- Kroger product ID

**Optional parameters:**
- `location_id` (string) -- include for local pricing, availability, and aisle information

**Example:**
```json
{"action":"get_product_details","product_id":"0011110838001","location_id":"01400441"}
```

Returns: `product` with `product_id`, `upc`, `brand`, `description`, `categories[]`, `country_origin`, `snap_eligible`, `organic`, `non_gmo`, `temperature`, `allergens[]` (with `name` and `level`), `allergens_description`, `ratings` {`average_rating`, `total_reviews`}, `item_information` {`depth`, `height`, `width`, `gross_weight`, `net_weight`, `average_weight`}, `images[]` (with `perspective`, `size`, `url`), `items[]` (with `item_id`, `size`, `sold_by`, `price_regular`, `price_promo`, `fulfillment`), `aisle_locations[]`, `nutrition` {`ingredient_statement`, `serving_size`, `nutritional_rating`, `nutrients[]` (with `name`, `quantity`, `unit`, `percent_daily_value`)}

If the product is not available for both in-store and delivery at the selected location, an `availability_warning` is included.

---

##### add_to_cart

Add items to the user's Kroger online cart. Requires the user to have a connected Kroger account.

**Required parameters:**
- `items` (array of objects) -- items to add, each with:
  - `upc` (string, required) -- product UPC code from search or product detail results
  - `quantity` (integer, required, minimum 1) -- quantity to add
  - `modality` (string, optional) -- `PICKUP` or `DELIVERY` (defaults to user's Kroger account preference)

**Example:**
```json
{"action":"add_to_cart","items":[{"upc":"0011110838001","quantity":2},{"upc":"0001111042010","quantity":1}]}
```

**Example -- specify fulfillment method:**
```json
{"action":"add_to_cart","items":[{"upc":"0011110838001","quantity":1,"modality":"PICKUP"}]}
```

Returns: `success` (boolean), `items_added` (count), `items[]`

---

#### Workflows

##### Grocery Shopping Workflow

1. **Always start with `find_stores`** to get a `location_id` (user location is detected automatically)
2. `search_products` with `query` + `location_id` -- location_id is required for every search
3. Optionally use `get_product_details` for full info on specific products (nutrition, allergens, aisle location)
4. `add_to_cart` with UPCs and quantities (requires user Kroger account connection)

##### Dietary-Restricted Shopping

1. `find_stores` to get a `location_id`
2. `search_products` with allergen and/or nutrition filters (e.g. `allergen_free: ["gluten", "dairy"]`, `max_calories: 200`)
3. Review `filter_summary` to see how many products were scanned vs. excluded
4. `get_product_details` to verify allergen labels and full ingredient statements
5. `add_to_cart` with confirmed products

##### Meal Prep Batch Search

1. `find_stores` to get a `location_id`
2. `search_products` with pipe-separated ingredients: `"chicken breast | brown rice | broccoli | olive oil | garlic"`
3. Results are grouped by query with concurrent API calls for faster results
4. `add_to_cart` with selected items from each result group

#### Notes

- Only products available for both in-store shopping and delivery are returned in search results
- Allergen filtering uses Kroger's allergen labels with an ingredient-statement fallback for products that lack allergen declarations
- Fresh whole foods (produce, raw meat, seafood) without allergen labels are allowed through the filter unless the product itself IS the allergen (e.g. fresh walnuts filtered for tree nuts)
- Nutrition filtering excludes products that lack the relevant nutrient data (to be safe)
- Batch searches run with limited concurrency (2 concurrent queries) with automatic retry on API errors
- The `query` parameter accepts both a plain string and a pipe-delimited multi-query string; both formats are supported
- `add_to_cart` requires the user to have connected their Kroger account through the platform
