Paging

A list tool returns one page and a token for the next. Calling again is your agent's step — or your loop's.

Amazon answers long lists one page at a time, and so does every SellerSheet tool that wraps such a list. A result never tells your agent to "call again" — the tool's description says how it pages, and the agent decides whether it needs the next page.

How it works

  1. Call the tool without a token — you get the first page and, when there is more, a token in data (Amazon's own name for it, such as nextToken).
  2. Call the same tool with the same arguments plus that token — you get the next page.
  3. No token in the result means you have the last page.

The argument that takes the token is named in each tool's reference — usually pagination_token or next_token, sometimes the vendor's own spelling. Most list tools also take a page size, such as page_size.

In an AI client (MCP)

tools/call
{
  "name": "orders_searchOrders",
  "arguments": {
    "store": "myStore-US",
    "created_after": "2026-10-01T00:00:00Z",
    "pagination_token": "<data.nextToken from the previous call>"
  }
}

From code (Tool API)

curl -X POST https://api.sellersheetai.com/api/v1/tools/orders_searchOrders \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SELLERSHEET_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"store":"myStore-US","created_after":"2026-10-01T00:00:00Z","pagination_token":"<data.nextToken from the previous call>"}'

Good habits

  • Pass null, not an empty string, for "no token". Every optional argument accepts an explicit null, so your agent can start with pagination_token: null.
  • Keep the other arguments the same between pages; a token belongs to its query.
  • Ask the warehouse for history. "Every order last quarter" is one query_report_data call over the synced tables, with limit and offset, not hundreds of pages from Amazon — and it spends none of Amazon's rate limits. See Synced reports.
  • Write as you go. For a whole catalog into a sheet, your agent appends each page to the sheet before fetching the next, so a long run never holds everything at once.
