Tool Reference
Quick reference for all 19 Pangolinfo MCP tools — required parameters, credit cost, field dependencies, and 6 preset workflows.
This page covers the tool overview + field dependency cheatsheet. For complete parameter semantics (including zod validation rules), see Scrape API Docs — MCP tools call the same REST APIs underneath.
🚀 The First Call AI Should Make
When first connecting to MCP, strongly recommend the AI call the introspection tool:
It returns the current schema + brief description of all 19 tools — fresher than docs. Once the AI has the list, it auto-selects tools based on context.
19-Tool Quick Reference
Credits is the deduction per successful call, identical to the corresponding REST API. Batch tools deduct linearly by item count. For complete pricing, see the “Credit Consumption” section in each API doc. 19 tools total, of which 1 is marked deprecated.

Field Dependency Cheatsheet

| Tool to use | Needs | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
get_amazon_product / get_amazon_reviews | asin | The asin field from search_amazon results |
filter_categories / get_category_paths | node_id | get_category_children or search_categories |
list_seller_products | seller_id | The seller_id field from get_amazon_product |
