The four quote_* tools are cleanly separated by product line (classic, curved, modern classic, lattice panel) and each description reiterates its distinct scope. The main ambiguity is between search_pergola_faq and search_pergola_knowledge, which both do retrieval over Baldwin content, and get_pergola_guidance overlaps with both since it also returns measurement facts and talking points; the descriptions give routing hints but the boundary is soft.
All nine tools use snake_case verb_noun form with a shared domain noun (pergola), e.g. quote_classic_pergola, search_pergola_faq, get_pergola_guidance. The verb families (quote_, search_, get_, create_, report_) map predictably to action types, so grouping is obvious.
Nine tools is well inside the ideal 3-15 range and each earns its place: one guidance/router tool, four product-specific quoting tools, two tiered search tools, one lead-capture tool, and one problem-report tool. Nothing looks like filler or a redundant wrapper.
The surface covers the full consultative sales lifecycle: guidance, per-product budgetary quoting, FAQ/knowledge retrieval, homeowner and professional handoff, and a feedback loop for broken tools or conflicting guidance. The one real dead end is quote_lattice_panel, which prices only the posts while the panel material is 'priced separately' with no tool to price it; electrical, installation, shipping, and permits are similarly never priced in-tool, though those plausibly belong to the sales handoff.
Get the right contact link for projects the configurators cannot handle. Use audience "homeowner" for custom projects outside the configurators (the contact form; Michael Hurlburt phones within 24 hours, except on weekends). Use audience "professional" for designers, architects, engineers, builders, specifiers, and contractors (the commercial projects questionnaire). Pass a short conversation_summary so the Baldwin team knows what was discussed.
