  - before: Ask a question only a human can answer — current specials, real availability, lease flexibility, 'is the pool actually open'.

STRONGLY include the renter's contact: the answer is texted/emailed to them directly (agent sessions end; polling alone can strand an answer). Returns a question_id for check_answer as a bonus channel. Rate limited; batch related questions into one. Answers are point-in-time facts.
  - after: Ask a question only a human can answer — current specials, real availability, lease flexibility, 'is the pool actually open'. A human locator replies during Central Time business hours, usually within a few hours. STRONGLY include the renter's contact with consent so the locator can follow up directly (agent sessions end; polling alone can strand an answer). Returns a question_id for check_answer as a bonus channel. Rate limited; batch related questions into one. Answers are point-in-time facts.

## Tools (9)

- `ask_a_locator`: Ask a question only a human can answer — current specials, real availability, lease flexibility, 'is the pool actually open'. A human locator replies during Central Time business hours, usually within a few hours. STRONGLY include the renter's contact with consent so the locator can follow up directly (agent sessions end; polling alone can strand an answer). Returns a question_id for check_answer as a bonus channel. Rate limited; batch related questions into one. Answers are point-in-time facts.
- `check_answer`: Poll the answer to an ask_a_locator question by question_id.
- `create_shortlist`: Turn finalist apartments into a Taco Street link (/my-list?s=...) that opens the renter's saved list with those buildings added — compare, AI Read, and free tour requests live there. Use the EXACT names returned by search_apartments.
- `get_apartment_details`: Full fact sheet for one building: floorplan-level pricing with as-of dates, move-in costs (admin/application/parking/pet fees), last-known specials (dated — treat as last-known, not current), amenities, walkability, virtual tour. Use the EXACT name from search_apartments. Compute totals yourself from components; a free human locator confirms live numbers.
- `get_research_request`: Use the private request key to retrieve progress and, after Alexander approves, the reviewed report snapshot. No draft, contact details or internal notes are returned. Do not share the key or continuation link publicly.
- `request_apartment_research`: Submit a saved shortlist and renter brief to Taco Street with consent. Staff accepts the request before paid research starts; VAs verify gaps, then Alexander adds his judgment. Returns a private continuation link. No immediate report, guaranteed completion time, or tour booking. No email is sent by this tool.
- `request_locator_help`: Hand the renter to Alexander, Taco Street's human locator, who confirms live pricing/availability and books tours — free to renters (properties pay locators). Follow-up arrives by TEXT or EMAIL, never a cold call. Requires the renter's real phone or email, shared with their consent. One request per renter — duplicates within 24h return the existing lead.
- `request_research_tours`: After report approval and explicit renter consent, request human tour coordination for selected apartments. Include preferred dates, times and timezone in preferred_times. Uses the existing private research key and contact. One handoff per research report; identical retries return the existing request, changed preferences require staff follow-up. No appointment is booked or message sent.
- `search_apartments`: Search Taco Street's curated apartment inventory in Austin, Dallas, Houston or San Antonio, TX. Returns scored matches with starting prices and a short 'why' per building. Use for long-term rentals only.
