Response

{
  "vendor": "microsoft",

For vendors with many products the products map can be large. Use get_vendor_product to drill into a specific product.

The full MCP envelope (including _meta.edgeprotect with request ID and credit details) is described in Response Format.

Errors

A well-formed request for a vendor not present in the CPE catalog returns a successful response (credit charged) with { "error": "not_found" } in the payload and the credit is refunded automatically.
