get_price_benchmark

Analyze redundant and overlapping spend for a supplier, identifying where the supplier's products and SKUs overlap with competing suppliers the organization already pays for. Use this tool when you need to: - Quantify potential redundant spend (consolidation savings) for a supplier - See which competing suppliers overlap with this supplier and how strongly - Review the SKU-level overlap matrix (which products map to competitor products) - List the contracted SKUs for the supplier and its overlapping competitors Optionally pass a contract_id to focus on the overlap report covering that specific contract. If omitted, the latest overlapping report for the supplier is used. Returns the same information shown on the supplier's Overlap Report page: Overlap Insights, SKU Matrix, and SKU List. Examples: - "How much redundant spend do we have with Salesforce?" - "Show me the SKU overlap between Zoom and our other tools" - "Which suppliers overlap with Microsoft and where can we consolidate?"

get_redundant_spend

List your organization's contracts stored in Tropic with optional filtering and pagination. This tool returns contract metadata (name, status, dates, supplier) — it does NOT read or search the content of contract documents. Do not use this tool when the user is asking about what is inside a contract — for example, clauses, terms, termination conditions, obligations, SLAs, or any question about contract language or content. Use `query_contract_documents` for those questions instead. Use this tool when you need to: - Browse, list, look up, pull up, or retrieve contracts - Find contracts for a specific supplier or vendor (use the supplier_name filter) - Filter contracts by status, dates, department, or other criteria - Page through large result sets IMPORTANT: When a user mentions a supplier, vendor, or company name alongside contracts (e.g., "my Salesforce contracts", "pull up 1Password contracts"), you MUST pass it inside the `filters` object as `supplier_name` on the first call, e.g. `{"filters": {"supplier_name": "Salesforce"}}`. Do NOT pass supplier_name as a top-level parameter. Do NOT call this tool without the filter and then search through the results — the server performs the filtering far more efficiently. Results default to ACTIVE contracts. Set the `status` filter only when the user names a status, e.g. `{"filters": {"status": ["inactive"]}}`; list every value to include all statuses.

list_contracts

List Tropic Expert Insights — advisory alerts written by Tropic's procurement experts about suppliers relevant to your organization. Each insight flags an important development with a supplier (such as a price increase, pricing model change, contract term change, acquisition, plan restructure, or compliance requirement) and includes the key changes, supporting justifications, and recommended action items. Use this tool when the user wants to: - See the latest expert insights, supplier alerts, or advisory updates - Review what Tropic experts are saying about a specific supplier or vendor - Find insights about price increases, acquisitions, or contract/pricing changes - Filter the insights feed by supplier or insight type IMPORTANT: When the user mentions a supplier, vendor, or company name (e.g., "expert insights for Salesforce", "any alerts about Datadog"), you MUST pass it inside the `filters` object as `supplier_name`, e.g. `{"filters": {"supplier_name": "Salesforce"}}`. Do NOT pass supplier_name as a top-level parameter, and do NOT list every insight and search through the results — the server filters far more efficiently. By default this tool returns published, unexpired insights for suppliers your organization has contracts or requests with. When the user asks about a specific supplier (by name, domain, or id), the tool returns published, unexpired insights for that supplier regardless of whether your organization already has an engagement with them — so you can surface intelligence about suppliers the user is evaluating or considering. Examples: - "What are the latest expert insights?" → scoped to your suppliers - "Show me supplier alerts for Salesforce" → returns Salesforce insights even without a contract - "Are there any expert insights about price increases?" → scoped to your suppliers

list_expert_insights

List Tropic Market Insights — AI-generated intelligence alerts about suppliers relevant to your organization, sourced from verified public sources. Each insight covers an important development (such as a merger or acquisition, security incident, price increase, or pricing model change) and includes an overview, source link, and recommended action items. Use this tool when the user wants to: - See the latest market insights, supplier news, or security alerts from public sources - Review recent M&A activity, pricing changes, or security incidents for a supplier - Find AI-generated intelligence about supplier developments - Filter the market insights feed by supplier or insight type IMPORTANT: When the user mentions a supplier, vendor, or company name (e.g., "market insights for Salesforce", "any news about Datadog"), you MUST pass it inside the `filters` object as `supplier_name`, e.g. `{"filters": {"supplier_name": "Salesforce"}}`. Do NOT pass supplier_name as a top-level parameter, and do NOT list every insight and search through the results — the server filters far more efficiently. By default this tool returns published insights for suppliers your organization has contracts or requests with. When the user asks about a specific supplier (by name, domain, or id), the tool returns published insights for that supplier regardless of whether your organization already has an engagement with them — so you can surface news about suppliers the user is evaluating or considering. Examples: - "What are the latest market insights?" → scoped to your suppliers - "Any security incidents for my suppliers?" → scoped to your suppliers - "Show me M&A activity for Salesforce" → returns Salesforce news even without a contract - "Are there any pricing changes recently?" → scoped to your suppliers

list_market_insights

Retrieve all price benchmarks for a specific supplier, including both completed benchmarks and those currently being processed. Use this tool when you need to: - View all benchmark history for a supplier - Check the status of pending benchmark requests - Identify the most recent benchmark for a supplier - See savings opportunities across completed benchmarks Returns a summary table including: - Benchmark type (Instant, Custom - Structured, Custom - Full, Custom - Brief, Not Available, Pending) - Status (Completed, Processing) - Creation date and requester - Overall savings opportunity (for completed benchmarks) - Line item count (for completed benchmarks) Examples: - "Show me all price benchmarks for Salesforce" - "What benchmarks exist for Microsoft?" - "List Zoom's benchmark history"

list_price_benchmarks

Briefly list the suppliers that have redundant/overlapping spend, one row per supplier's latest overlap report. Each row summarizes the supplier, its potential redundant spend range, overlap level, and the competing suppliers it overlaps with — enough to decide where to dig in. Use this tool when you need to: - See which suppliers have overlapping/redundant spend across the organization - Find the biggest consolidation opportunities (results are sorted by potential redundant spend) - Pick a supplier to analyze in depth This is a summary only. To get the full report for one supplier — the SKU-level overlap matrix and the contracted SKU list — call `get_redundant_spend` with that supplier. Results are paginated and sorted by potential redundant spend (highest first). Examples: - "Where do we have redundant spend?" - "Which suppliers overlap with others we already pay for?" - "Show me our biggest consolidation opportunities." - "Where do we have redundant spend in the Marketing department?" (use the department_names filter)

list_redundant_spend

List all products and pricing plans available for a specific supplier that can be benchmarked using Tropic's pricing database. Use this tool when you need to: - See what products Tropic can benchmark for a supplier - Get the exact product names required for run_price_benchmark - Check if a supplier is configured for price benchmarking - Explore available plans/tiers for a vendor - See what price drivers (e.g., Users, Seats, API Calls) are available for each product - Find out whether a product is consumption/usage-priced and which rate schedules it has IMPORTANT: Always use this tool BEFORE using run_price_benchmark to ensure you have the correct product name that matches Tropic's catalog. Returns a list of products with their IDs, names, available price drivers, and — for consumption/usage-priced products — their rate schedules with each schedule's billing unit, rendered as "Rate schedules: API Calls (per call)". For products with multiple price drivers, use the exact driver names shown when providing price_driver_quantities to run_price_benchmark for more accurate benchmarking. For products with rate schedules, use the exact schedule name shown when providing rate_schedule_name to run_price_benchmark, and express effective_rate in the unit shown for that schedule. Examples: - "What Salesforce products can I benchmark?" - "List all Microsoft products available for pricing" - "Show me Zoom's pricing plans in the system" - "Is Snowflake's Cortex product usage-priced?"
