Use identify-transaction-context-dev with my original transaction descriptor and only known MCC, city, phone or supported-country clues. Ask for missing required text and my stricter-matching or speed preference when needed. Reuse my Toolmu connection or set it up with https://toolmu.com/SKILL.md. Confirm the current call price within my existing budget. Return a merchant candidate with name, domain, useful links and cache context; compare known clues and keep uncertainty visible without asserting payment authorization, fraud or the exact store.

Task:
Find the business behind [name or words shown beside a charge on your bank or card statement]. Share its name, website and useful links, and tell me how to check the result against my statement.

Context.dev

Look up a possible merchant from a card charge

You receive

Receive a candidate merchant or brand profile, with its reported name, website domain, description and available website or social links. Your Agent can compare these identity clues with your transaction record and highlight missing information.

Start with your task

Find the business behind [name or words shown beside a charge on your bank or card statement]. Share its name, website and useful links, and tell me how to check the result against my statement.

What to know

Treat the result as a candidate and compare it with your original records. It cannot determine cardholder authorization or resolve disputes and refunds. Brand details may come from cache, and a company address does not identify the specific store.

Inputs & outputs

Inspect the current inputs, availability, and maximum charge before starting.

Input schema

Input schema
Field / Path	Type	Requirement	Meaning
Merchant lookup settings`queryParams`	`object`	Required	Required transaction descriptor and optional matching hints, plus language, speed and supplier-confidence settings. Required fields `transaction_info`
Merchant category hint`queryParams.mcc`	`string \| number`	Optional	Merchant Category Code supplied by the transaction record, accepted as a string or number, to narrow the business category.
City hint`queryParams.city`	`string`	Optional	Known city to prioritize when searching for the merchant.
Transaction phone hint`queryParams.phone`	`string \| number`	Optional	Phone value from the transaction record, accepted as a string or number, to help assess the merchant match.

Supplier timeout`queryParams.timeoutMS`	`integer`	Optional	Supplier deadline in milliseconds, from 1,000 to 300,000. Set it below the Tool request timeout. Context.dev describes HTTP 408 when exceeded. Minimum `1000` Maximum `300000`
Country hint`queryParams.country_gl`	`string`	Optional	A supported two-letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code, such as us, gb or de. Supported-country availability is determined by Context.dev. Minimum length `2` Maximum length `2`

Transaction descriptor`queryParams.transaction_info`	`string`	Required	Required raw descriptor from the statement or transaction record, 3–500 characters. Keep the original text rather than replacing it with a guessed merchant name. Minimum length `3` Maximum length `500`
Stricter supplier matching`queryParams.high_confidence_only`	`boolean`	Optional	When true, Context.dev runs an extra verification pass and returns only a match it considers confident. Default false. This is a supplier matching mode, not a numeric probability or guaranteed correct identification.

No. The Tool identifies a possible merchant brand from the descriptor and supplied clues. A brand match does not confirm cardholder authorization, payment details or whether a charge is fraudulent, and it does not file a dispute or issue a refund.
