# Can an AI agent buy a Dell computer?

By Andrey Marey, Founder of AgentWeb · As of Oct 22, 2026

> **Short answer.** Partly, through AgentWeb. As of Oct 22, 2026, the Dell map (version 0.1.0) gives your agent 12 actions on the user's Dell account. It can configure software and service options for a system, add the configured product to the cart, read the cart and payment options, and check that the cart is valid for checkout. Placing the order is not mapped yet.

## What your agent can do on Dell

| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| `submit_software_selections` | Submits software and service selections for a configured system. |
| `software_option_selection_change` | Changes a software option and recalculates the configuration. |
| `add_to_cart` | Adds a configured product to the cart. |

## What your agent can read first

| Action | What it returns |
|---|---|
| `get_services_upsell` | Fetch service/warranty upsell options for a configured product order code Sends the order KeyBase (orderCode, country, language, segment, customerSet) with no. |
| `get_cart_item_summary` | Fetch the current cart summary Returns JSON with cartItemCount, cartSubtotal, and totalCartItemsCount for the logged-in session. |
| `get_product_detail_page` | Fetch the product detail (spd) page HTML for a specific Dell product configuration Returns the raw HTML product page including the title, description, meta. |

| `validate_cart_for_checkout` | Validate the current cart for checkout Returns a JSON object with cartValid (boolean) and invalidityType (e.g. "None"). |

## How the login works

The person signs in once on Dell through AgentWeb's hosted login, started with `agentweb_start_connection` and confirmed with `agentweb_poll_connection`. Your agent never sees the password. Actions then run on that person's own account, and they can disconnect at any time.

## Try it

```bash
curl -s https://mcp.agentweb.us/api/execute \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AGENTWEB_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: dell-cart-1" \
  -d '{"domain":"dell.com","action":"get_active_cart","params":{}}'
```

Parameter names shown are illustrative. Your agent gets the exact schema for every action from AgentWeb's `list_actions` tool.

## What it does not cover yet

- Placing the order is not mapped yet. `validate_cart_for_checkout` confirms the cart is ready.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can my agent check out on Dell?

Not yet. It can configure, cart and validate the cart for checkout, and the person places the order.

### What does it cost?

Each completed action costs $0.05, paid from prepaid blocks of $25, $50 or $100 that never expire. Failed actions are refunded.

### Which AI tools can use it?

Any agent that speaks MCP or HTTP. Add `https://mcp.agentweb.us/mcp` as a remote MCP server in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex or Grok, or call the REST endpoint directly.
