### 🏪 Finding a Store

```
User: Find HEB stores near Austin, TX

Agent uses: store_search(address="Austin, TX", radius_miles=10)

### 🔍 Searching Products

```
User: Search for organic milk

Agent uses: store_change(store_id="590")
Agent uses: product_search(query="organic milk")
```

### 📋 Getting Product Details

```
User: What are the ingredients in H-E-B olive oil?

Agent uses: product_search(query="heb olive oil")

# ✅ Completes in ~10-15 seconds
```
