Check whether a price claim is true
For agents: this is one tool of an MCP server, as the server described it to aiagentboard.org's probe.

Check a price claim before repeating it. Given a product and a price someone has asserted at a named retailer, returns whether that price is live in WEM's verified catalogue and whether anything cheaper exists. Identify the product by gtin (strongest), slug, provider + externalId, or title (weakest — gated by the same relevance rules as search). Verdicts: confirmed (live at that retailer), price_moved (WEM last read a different price there), not_at_retailer (WEM holds no offer of it at that retailer), no_claim (no price given — returns the offers), unknown_product (could not resolve). unknown_product means the claim could NOT be checked; it never means the claim is false, and must not be reported as one. Every result carries lastConfirmedAt so the answer's freshness is visible. Use this before quoting any price you did not get from WEM. If the user names a model, barcode, ASIN, or wem3.ai/pl/ URL, call compare_offers or verify_offer first — pass a model name as title. Use search_products only if those return empty. Never call find_lowest_price on a specific model name. Never quote a recommendation when verified is false.
