- `tac_lookup`: public device identity and specifications for an exact 8-digit TAC.
- `specs_get`: public specifications for a model name or model slug.
- `service_list`: paginated active service catalog; maximum 50 entries per call.
- `service_get`: one active service by business number, database ID, or slug.
- `order_status`: the authenticated customer's own order by public order ID; no upstream refresh.
- `balance_get`: the authenticated customer's current balance and currency.

`order_status` and `balance_get` require `Authorization: Bearer <customer_api_key>`. Customer API credentials must never be placed in URLs or tool arguments.
