Tool changes

No tool definition changes recorded. A server's first observation is its baseline; later probes record what changes.

Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed. How it is computed.

Tools (5)

check_quoteread-onlyCompare a contractor's quoted price with BidBud's likely range for the same scope. Prices the scope at economy, mid-range and premium quality and judges the quote against the likely range (confidence band) of the quality level being compared. Verdicts: "low" (below the range: ask what is excluded), "fair", "high" (above the range but within premium pricing) and "very_high" (above even the premium range). Use it when a homeowner asks "is this bid reasonable?". Args: quoted_price: The contractor's total price in USD for the listed services. home_sqft: Finished square footage of the home. num_rooms: Number of rooms. services: The services the quote covers. quality_tier: Quality level the quote is for: "economy", "medium" (mid-range, default) or "high" (premium). zip_code: US ZIP code of the property, for regional labor pricing. state: Two-letter state code, used when the ZIP is unknown. stories: Above-grade stories (1, 1.5, 2 or 3; default 1). flooring_type: For flooring quotes: carpet, tile, vinyl, hardwood or mix. num_windows: For window quotes: number of windows being replaced. roof_pitch: Roof slope if known: low, standard, steep or very_steep. roof_shape: gable, hip or complex. home_type: detached, townhouse_end, townhouse_middle or condo. year_built: Year the home was built (before 1978 adds lead-safe work practices).
compare_tiersread-onlyPrice the same project at economy, mid-range and premium quality side by side. Use it when a homeowner asks "what's the difference between a basic and a high-end job?" or wants to choose a budget level. Args: home_sqft: Finished square footage of the home (200-20000). num_rooms: Number of rooms (1-50). services: Services to price, e.g. ["flooring", "painting"]. zip_code: 5-digit US ZIP code of the property, for regional labor pricing. state: Two-letter state code, used when the ZIP is unknown. stories: Above-grade stories (1, 1.5, 2 or 3; default 1). flooring_type: For flooring only: carpet, tile, vinyl, hardwood or mix. num_windows: For windows only: actual window count, if known. include_permits: Add estimated permit fees. include_contingency: Add a 10% contingency allowance. Returns the total for each tier, a per-service breakdown for each tier, and each service's totals across the three tiers.
estimate_projectread-onlyEstimate the cost of one or more home-improvement services for a US home. Args: home_sqft: Finished square footage of the home (200-20000). num_rooms: Number of rooms (1-50). Used to derive wall area. services: Services to price, e.g. ["painting", "roofing"]. quality_tier: "economy", "medium" (mid-range) or "high" (premium). zip_code: 5-digit US ZIP code of the property. Applies metro-area (or state) labor-rate adjustments; strongly recommended. state: Two-letter state code, used when the ZIP is unknown. stories: Above-grade stories (1, 1.5, 2 or 3; default 1). Drives roof area, siding area and gutter length for exterior services. flooring_type: For flooring only: carpet, tile, vinyl, hardwood or mix. num_windows: For windows only: actual window count, if known. ceiling_height_ft: Override the default 8.5 ft ceiling height. roof_sqft: Override the roof area derived from home size. include_permits: Add estimated permit fees as separate lines. include_contingency: Add a 10% contingency line for conditions found on site. include_line_items: Include itemized quantities and unit costs. roof_pitch: Roof slope if known: low, standard, steep or very_steep. Steep roofs add area and a steep-slope labor surcharge. roof_shape: gable, hip or complex; sets the gutter/eave length. home_type: detached, townhouse_end, townhouse_middle or condo; shared walls reduce siding, trim and gutters (condo exteriors are flagged as usually the HOA's responsibility). year_built: Year the home was built. Before 1978 adds EPA lead-safe (RRP) work practices to painting, windows and drywall. Each property detail you pass narrows the likely range for the services it affects. Returns totals per service, a confidence range, the main assumptions, and questions to ask the homeowner that would tighten the estimate.
get_permit_guidanceread-onlySay whether each service typically needs a building permit, with typical fees, and (when a state is given) the state's building code, code authority and contractor licensing resources. General guidance, not legal advice. Args: services: Services being planned, e.g. ["roofing", "electrical"]. state: Two-letter US state code, e.g. "PA".
list_servicesread-onlyList the home-improvement services BidBud can estimate, the quality tiers, accepted input ranges, and which services get state-level labor pricing.

Schemas: list_tools.
