[Amazon category breadcrumb resolver] Batch-resolve categoryId list to full paths (e.g. 'Electronics > Headphones > Over-Ear Headphones'). Use when: a report needs readable category context (not bare IDs); user has a list of numeric IDs and wants the names; multiple categories need labels for comparison. Don't use: for a single ID — most other tools already return browseNodeNamePath in their responses; for tree structure (use get_category_children). Returns: data.items[{ categoryId, categoryName, categoryNameCn, browseNodeNamePaths[], browseNodeNamePathCns[] }] — one row per input ID. Pair with: ↑ categoryIds from any prior step (filter_niches/filter_categories output, user-pasted ID list); ↓ usually presentation-only, downstream rarely depends on it. Cost: ~1 point/call, ~2s (cheaper than N single resolutions).
