Purchase an ALREADY-LISTED Atom marketplace domain. This SPENDS REAL MONEY and requires the 'domains:register' scope. Use this ONLY when check_domain_availability reported status 'premium' or 'taken' (a curated Atom listing) for this exact domain, or get_domain_details confirmed it's a listing. If the domain is instead fresh/never-listed (status 'available'), use register_domain instead — never this tool; it will reject a fresh domain with error 'not_a_marketplace_listing'.
MANDATORY two-step flow — never skip the quote:
- Call with confirm=false (default) to get a QUOTE: returns the authoritative price, its breakdown (sale_price, registration_fee, vat_amount), the user's current balance, sufficient_funds, whether a saved card exists (has_saved_card / saved_card), and expires_at.
- SHOW THE USER: the exact price breakdown, and state plainly which payment method you are about to use and how much it will charge — e.g. "$1,250.00 (listing price $1,200 + $50 registration fee) from your Atom balance" or "...from your saved Visa ending 4242". Get explicit confirmation before proceeding.
- Call again with confirm=true, the SAME idempotency_key, and payment_method set to exactly 'balance' or 'saved_card' (REQUIRED at this step — never omit it or guess): commits the charge and the purchase. Returns status='purchased', amount_charged, payment_method, order_id, and order_url.
Rules: never assume or pass a price. Reuse one client-generated idempotency_key across both calls (and any retry) to prevent double-charging. If payment_method='balance' and funds are insufficient, error 'insufficient_funds' reports required/available/top_up_url and whether a saved card exists as an alternative — tell the user both options plainly, do not silently retry with the other method. If payment_method='saved_card' and the charge fails, error 'card_payment_failed' reports why (including if it needs 3D Secure authentication, which cannot be completed here — offer balance or a different card instead). If it reports error 'registrant_contact_required' (a marketplace-domain transfer needs this to complete), ask the user for their name, phone, address, city, zip, and country, call create_registrant_contact with those, then retry with confirm=true — this is expected and not a dead end.
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | string | yes | The Atom marketplace listing to purchase, including extension. |
| idempotency_key | string | yes | Client-generated unique key; identical across the quote and confirm calls for the same intended purchase. Prevents double-charging on retry. |
| confirm | boolean | no | false returns a quote; true commits the charge and purchase (payment_method required). |
| payment_method | string | no | Which rail to charge. REQUIRED when confirm=true — state this to the user before calling, never picked automatically. Ignored (and unnecessary) at the quote stage. |
