Logistics & Shipping

Multi-carrier shipping for AI agents — create shipments, compare rates, track packages, optimize routes, validate addresses, and generate labels across ShipEngine, Shippo, Sendy (Africa), and Google Maps.

What this skill teaches

A reusable playbook for a specific kind of work.

An MCP server tells an agent which actions are available. A skill adds the judgment around those actions: how to recognize the job, which sequence to follow, what to avoid, and how to decide that the result is complete.

Orchestrate logistics across ShipEngine, Shippo, Sendy (Africa), and Google Maps — create shipments, compare carrier rates, track packages, optimize routes, validate addresses, and generate labels. Use when shipping orders, tracking packages, comparing carrier rates, optimizing delivery routes, validating addresses,…

Architecture

How Logistics & Shipping guides an ADK-Rust agent.

The skill stays readable and portable because it contains instructions rather than service credentials or business data. ADK-Rust supplies it to the agent, the agent chooses from its reviewed tool boundary, and the connected MCP server performs the authenticated operation.

01

User request

The agent receives a goal expressed in ordinary language.

02

Logistics & Shipping skill

Matches intent, supplies the decision guide, and narrows the tool boundary.

03

ADK-Rust agent

Plans the workflow and streams each meaningful step through the runtime.

04

mcp-logistics

Executes authenticated operations against the system that owns the capability.

05

Verified result

The skill's completion rules shape the evidence returned to the user.

Decision guide

How the agent turns a request into the right action.

These routes come directly from the skill instructions. They help the model recognize intent and select a focused tool or workflow instead of improvising across the entire capability surface.

01

"ship", "send package", "create shipment"?

WORKFLOW 1: Ship

02

"track", "where is", "delivery status"?

WORKFLOW 2: Track

03

"rates", "cost", "cheapest", "fastest"?

WORKFLOW 3: Rate Comparison

04

"route", "optimize", "multiple stops"?

WORKFLOW 4: Route Optimization

05

"address", "validate", "verify"?

WORKFLOW 5: Address Validation

06

Unclear?

Ask: "Would you like to ship something, track a package, or compare rates?"

Proven workflows

Repeatable sequences for useful outcomes.

A workflow joins several tool calls into a task the user actually recognizes. The skill explains the sequence and the intended result while ADK-Rust streams the agent's progress through the shared runtime.

015 calls

Ship Package

Validate → rates → compare → book → label

022 calls

Track

Current status + ETA

032-3 calls

Rate Comparison

Cheapest vs fastest options

041-2 calls

Route Optimization

Multi-stop delivery planning

051 calls

Address Validation

Prevent failed deliveries

Tool boundary

The skill may use 16 documented tools.

This allowlist is declared by the skill. It keeps the agent focused on the actions needed for this job while mcp-logistics retains responsibility for authentication, validation, and the connected system.

Working rules

What the agent should do.

  • Follow the decision guide, use the declared tool boundary, and verify the result before responding.

Operating boundaries

What the agent should avoid.

  • Review the complete SKILL.md before enabling this skill for production work.

Install and connect

Add the skill beside the capability it expects.

Install the repository where your ADK-Rust skill loader can discover it, connect mcp-logistics, and confirm the declared tools are available before asking the agent to use the workflow.

Install the skill
git clone https://github.com/zavora-ai/skill-logistics-shipping.git \
  ~/.skills/skills/logistics-shipping
ADK-Rust loading shape
let skills = SkillLoader::from_dir("~/.skills/skills").await?;
let skill = skills.load("logistics-shipping").await?;

let agent = LlmAgentBuilder::new("agent")
    .instruction(skill.instructions())
    .tools(skill.allowed_tools(toolset)?)
    .build()?;

The repository's compatibility statement: Requires mcp-logistics server connected. Optional: mcp-erp for order fulfillment, mcp-notifications for delivery alerts, mcp-email for shipping confirmations.
