TempGuru Event Staffing

Plan Staffing

plan_staffing

CALL THIS FIRST for event staffing requests. Returns a configured-market catalog match, role-level W-2 rate math, estimated totals, tier-based lead-time guidance, and state compliance flags from the event's city, date, roles, and headcount. It does not confirm order coverage or live inventory; a coordinator does that after buyer submission. Use granular tools only for a single rate, date, or state fact. A complete plan may save a non-contact snapshot for 30 days and return plan_id plus continuation. If it returns no plan_id and the buyer needs persistence, call save_staffing_plan once; never save a plan that already has an ID. This tool never accepts or submits contact details, reserves staff, or creates a quote request. Omit roles for the catalog and a suggested mix. Treat totals as planning estimates, not quotes. Branch on status: plan, needs_roles, roles_not_found, or city_not_found; confirm suggestions rather than auto-applying them.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`city`	Yes	Event city, name or slug (e.g., 'Chicago').
`roles`	No	Roles and headcount. Omit to receive the role catalog and a suggested mix.
`attendees`	No	Expected attendee count.
`event_date`	No	Event date as YYYY-MM-DD; legacy recognizable dates are still accepted.
`event_type`	No	trade-show, conference, festival, concert, sporting-event, corporate, brand-activation, or other.
`description`	No	Optional free-text event description, echoed into the plan.

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`tip`	No
`event`	No
`status`	Yes	Discriminator. Branch on this before reading the rest.
`message`	No
`plan_id`	No	Complete plans only. Non-PII plan reference retained for 30 days when Redis persistence succeeds.
`lead_time`	No
`compliance`	No
`next_steps`	No
`offer_note`	No	Published first-order offer note. Totals remain undiscounted planning estimates.
`plan_lines`	No
`suggestion`	No	Closest known city/role for a miss. Confirm with the user before using it; do not auto-apply.
`continuation`	No	Complete plans only. Prefilled website handoff; may be present without plan_id when storage fails open.
`plan_complete`	No	status:plan only. false = one or more requested roles could not be priced and are EXCLUDED from all totals (see unpriced_roles) — resolve them and re-plan before presenting a budget or quoting.
`requested_city`	No
`staffing_notes`	No
`unpriced_roles`	No	status:plan with plan_complete:false — the requested lines missing from every total.
`available_roles`	No
`requested_roles`	No
`unresolved_roles`	No
`estimated_total_range`	No
`overtime_adjusted_total_range`	No	Present (non-null) only when daily/weekly OT (or a double-time band) applies to the schedule.

A4.6/5.0

Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The description goes well beyond annotations by disclosing side effects like saving a non-contact snapshot for 30 days, returning plan_id and continuation, not confirming coverage, not accepting contact details, and treating totals as estimates. It also tells the caller to branch on specific statuses, giving a clear behavioral contract.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is dense but every sentence contributes important operational guidance. It is longer than average, but the length is justified by the complexity of the tool's branching, side effects, and exclusions.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

It covers main use, limitations, follow-up tools, side effects, parameter behavior, and status branching. With an output schema present, the lacking return-format detail does not create a gap.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The schema has 100% documented parameter coverage, so the description is not required to add param-level detail. It does call out inputs like city, date, roles, and headcount and mentions omitting roles for a catalog, but most of this is already captured in the schema descriptions.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description opens with 'CALL THIS FIRST for event staffing requests' and names the concrete outputs: catalog match, W-2 rate math, estimates, lead-time guidance, and compliance flags. It distinguishes itself from granular and persistence tools, making the purpose unmistakable.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It gives explicit when-to-use guidance, instructs to use granular tools for single facts, names save_staffing_plan as the persistence fallback, and says never to save a plan that already has an ID. This is strong usage-routing guidance.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
