## What is and is not callable

Centric Brands publishes **no corporate developer program**: no developer portal, no API
reference, no OpenAPI or AsyncAPI, no SDKs, and no public first-party source code. Wholesale
and licensor data exchange runs over EDI and private partner systems.

What IS callable is the **agent-commerce surface on its owned-brand direct-to-consumer
storefronts**. Eight Centric-operated brand stores run the Shopify Universal Commerce
Protocol (UCP) over MCP. Anonymous `tools/list` returned 13 tools with full JSON Schema
inputs on every one of them (probed 2026-08-13). This is Shopify platform infrastructure
served from Centric-controlled hosts — not software Centric authored.
