PackIndex is a live price benchmark for packaging materials and their inputs, in USD with live FX to any currency: L0 primary inputs (crude oil, naphtha, natural gas, electricity, diesel, carbon, primary metals, recovered fibre), L1 raw materials (polymers such as PP, HDPE, LDPE, PET; pulps; aluminium coil, steel), L2 semi-finished (kraftliner, testliner, boxboard, BOPP / BOPET films, foil) and L3 finished packs (boxes, pouches, bottles). Every index has a value for today. Workflow: search_indices finds a code (plain words work: 'polypropylene', 'recovered paper') → get_live_index or get_prices (up to 20 codes) for values → get_index_history for the trend → get_index_forecast for the 12-week forward value. Buyer tools: check_quote tests a supplier price against the benchmark and its 12-month range; price_adjustment computes an index-linked contract price from a base price and date; compare_regions compares one material across Europe, US, China, Middle East (optionally landed with your freight and duty); explain_price_move splits a move into its input drivers; get_market_movers lists the biggest risers and fallers. get_carbon_index gives kg CO2e per unit (L3) or per tonne (materials). estimate_packaging_price prices a corrugated RSC box. Design Studio: draft_packaging_spec → cost_packaging_spec (1 Suite run each); list_my_projects, update_project (free), compare_packaging_options (1 run). Exchange: search_exchange_listings, find_suppliers, post_rfq (sends real RFQs — confirm with the user first), get_my_rfqs. packindex_query answers free-text questions. PACKIQ agents: list_packiq_agents → run_packiq_agent (needs the user's OPN account; spends credits) → get_agent_chain. Free callers see 12-week delayed reference values plus a daily live rotation; live values and changes need the Essential plan, regional comparisons and forward values the Professional plan (upgrade_url is in every limited response). Cite values as 'PackIndex' with the as_of date.

search_indicesFind PackIndex codes by material, input, format or plain words ('polypropylene', 'recovered paper', 'natural gas', 'kraftliner', 'corrugated box').
Inferred read-onlyget_live_indexToday's value of one PackIndex code — commodity inputs (L0: oil, gas, power, metals, recovered fibre), raw materials (L1: PP, HDPE, pulp…), semi-finished (L2: kraftliner, films…) or finished packs (L3) — in USD (and your currency), with 1-week / 1-month / 3-month / 1-year change (each period only where that much history exists) and carbon data where scored.
Inferred read-onlyget_index_historyPrice history for any PackIndex code (L0-L3), one value per date: every point for up to 3 months, weekly closes for longer spans, with the change between points.
Inferred read-onlyget_all_indicesPage through index values by layer: L0 primary inputs, L1 raw materials, L2 semi-finished (paid plans) and L3 finished packs.
Inferred read-onlyget_carbon_indexCarbon footprint: finished packs (L3) in kg CO2e per unit with grade A-D; raw materials and semi-finished (board grades, pulps, polymers, aluminium, steel, cullet) in kg CO2e per tonne, virgin and PEF CFF, optionally at your recycled content.
Inferred read-onlypackindex_queryAsk a plain-English question about packaging costs, indices or which PACKIQ agent to use.
Inferred read-onlylist_packiq_agentsBrowse PACKIQ AI packaging co-workers (procurement, manufacturing, compliance, finance, sales, logistics, contracts, global markets).
Inferred read-onlyget_agent_chainAfter a PACKIQ agent run, get the 2-3 most logical follow-on agents with reasons.
Inferred read-onlyget_index_forecast12-week forward value for any PackIndex code — inputs, raw materials, semi-finished and finished packs: current level, projection, projected change and confidence.
Inferred read-onlyget_pricesToday's values for up to 20 PackIndex codes in one call (any layer: oil, gas, resins, pulp, board, films, finished packs) with 1w/1m/3m/1y change — for watchlists and cost models.
Inferred read-onlyprice_adjustmentRecalculate an index-linked contract price: base price and base date plus the indices it follows and their weights (the rest is fixed).
Inferred read-onlyget_market_moversBiggest risers and fallers among inputs (L0), raw materials (L1) and semi-finished (L2) over 1w / 1m / 3m / 1y, optionally within a group (e.
Inferred read-onlyestimate_packaging_pricePrice a corrugated RSC box (FEFCO 0201) from internal dimensions and flute (E, B, C, F or double-wall), anchored to the PackIndex RSC benchmark, with a low/mid/high band, optional order total and a next-quarter projection.
Inferred read-onlydraft_packaging_specTurn a plain-language packaging brief into a structured spec (format, materials, dimensions, quantity, assumptions) saved as a Design Studio project.
Inferred read-onlycost_packaging_specDerive the bill of materials for a Design Studio project (or a spec object) and anchor each component to live PackIndex values.
Inferred read-onlycompare_packaging_optionsOptimise a Design Studio project (or a material): right-size, lightweight and substitute options with cost and carbon savings anchored to PackIndex.
Inferred read-onlyupdate_projectChange a Design Studio project's order quantity, target region, contents size (boxes — enables right-sizing), name or performance floor (corrugated: ECT; folding cartons: bending stiffness in mN·m; rigid packs: top-load kgf).
Inferred read-onlylist_my_projectsThe user's Design Studio packaging projects (id, name, pack type, status) and Suite runs left.
Inferred read-onlypost_rfqRequest quotes on the OPN Trade Exchange for a Design Studio project or a PackIndex material code to up to 3 suppliers.
Potential side effectsfind_suppliersWho can quote a material or a Design Studio project: live Trade Exchange listings (price vs PackIndex benchmark) plus matched converters from the verified supplier network, filtered by country.
Potential side effectsget_my_rfqsThe user's sent RFQs with how many suppliers received each and how many responded; pass rfq_id for the responses (bids and, once a supplier responds, their contact).
Inferred read-onlysearch_exchange_listingsLive supplier offers on the OPN Trade Exchange, filterable by PackIndex material code and origin, each with its PackIndex benchmark (live on paid plans, 12-week delayed otherwise).
Potential side effectsrun_packiq_agentRun a PACKIQ agent on the caller's data (quotes, invoices, BOMs, specs).
