What it does

gift_ideas is a Read tool on the OneLifeVibe hub at onelifevibe.com, the front door to the network and its developer platform. It returns gift ideas and small first purchases from OneLifeVibe websites, ordered cheapest first and shown with real prices. Read means it changes nothing: calling it does not create an order, reserve an item or alter an account.

The gift ideas are delivered by email, so there is no shipping deadline to work around. Use the optional max_usd argument to keep the result at or under a price in US dollars. That is useful when you want a short list for a small budget rather than an open-ended catalog.

The tool is callable from the free connector at https://onelifevibe.com/mcp/free. That connector needs no sign-in and is read-only and rate-limited.

When an assistant should call it

Call gift_ideas when someone asks for a gift idea, a small first purchase or a low-cost starting point on the OneLifeVibe network. It fits requests such as a present with no shipping deadline, a list under a set amount, or a first item to try from the websites. The result is a set of ideas, so it is the right call before any follow-up browsing.

Use max_usd when the request includes a budget. For example, a request for ideas under 10 dollars maps to max_usd 10. If the request has no price ceiling, omit max_usd. The tool returns real prices, so you can present the options without making up costs.

This is not the tool for profiles, situations, worlds or free-tool discovery. For those, other tools on the same website are olv_list_worlds, olv_get_profile, find_free_tools, list_situations and list_worlds.

Inputs and an example call

gift_ideas takes one optional input: max_usd. It is an integer from 1 to 1000 and means only ideas at or under this price in US dollars. There are no other inputs. Send it as an argument to the tool call.

The endpoint is https://onelifevibe.com/mcp/free. Send a tools/call request with params.name set to gift_ideas. To ask for ideas at or under 10 dollars, set params.arguments.max_usd to 10. For an uncapped list, leave out max_usd.

For example, send method tools/call to https://onelifevibe.com/mcp/free with params.name gift_ideas and params.arguments.max_usd 10. No sign-in is needed for this connector.

What comes back

The result is structured data with a title for each idea, what each one does, the OneLifeVibe website it belongs to and a link. That gives you enough to describe the option, name where it comes from and open the source page. The entries are ordered cheapest first and include real prices.

Use the titles and descriptions in your reply, and keep the website and link with each entry so the person can act on it. Because the tool is a Read tool, the result is only information; it does not place an order or change anything on the website.

If you pass max_usd, every returned idea is at or under that amount in US dollars. The result comes from the free connector, which is rate-limited.

Errors, limits and safety

max_usd must be an integer from 1 to 1000. Check that before you call; if the value is a decimal, a string or outside the range, do not send it. If a call fails, retry after a short wait when the cause is the rate limit on the free connector. The tool is idempotent, so repeating the same request is safe.

There are no destructive effects: gift_ideas is a Read tool and changes nothing. It needs no account on the free connector and no sign-in. The connector is read-only and rate-limited, so pace repeated calls instead of looping.

Because the gifts are delivered by email, there is no shipping deadline in the results. Treat the returned link as the next step for details. Do not promise delivery dates or order outcomes that the tool did not return.

Questions

Does gift_ideas need an account or sign-in?

No. gift_ideas is callable from the free connector at https://onelifevibe.com/mcp/free, which needs no sign-in and is read-only. It is also rate-limited.

What does max_usd accept?

max_usd is an optional integer from 1 to 1000. When present, it limits ideas to that price in US dollars; omit it when you do not want that cap.

Are the gifts shipped, or delivered by email?

The gifts in gift_ideas are delivered by email, so there is no shipping deadline. The tool returns ideas and small first purchases with real prices and links.
