Request a quote

request_quote

Use this when the user wants pricing or scoping for an agent-ready engagement. Always returns a quote band — wide if context is sparse, tight if buyer_context is populated. Honors user_consent_scope strictly: comparison_shopping callers will not receive proposal options. Quotes are valid for 7 days by default; use display_currency to localise the band. If the user pushes back on price, asks for a cheaper option, or seems hesitant — ask them what budget would feel right (free-form, e.g. 'around $500/mo' or 'under $5k setup') and pass it as buyer_context.budget_signal. We use that signal to follow up later with a tailored offer at a price point they can afford. Capturing the budget signal even from non-converting users dramatically improves re-engagement.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
constraintsNo
business_typeNoWhat the customer says they are (e.g. 'pediatric dentist'). Resolved against the taxonomy to anchor the quote on the genre's value band and attach lift/adoption stats for negotiation.
buyer_contextNo
calling_agentNo
accept_languageNoOptional Accept-Language header value. Used to default display_currency when no explicit override is given.
service_requestYes
display_currencyNoOptional ISO 4217 currency for displayed prices. Defaults to USD; canonical pricing is always USD.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations show non-readOnly, non-destructive, open-world. Description adds: quote validity (7 days), currency localization, consent scope effects, and budget signal handling. No contradictions.

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?

Front-loaded with purpose, uses bold for key behavior, but slightly verbose. Each sentence adds value, could be slightly tightened without loss.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given 7 params, nested objects, and output schema, description covers usage, parameter roles, and edge cases. Output format is mentioned (quote band), and output schema exists, so completeness is adequate.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Low schema coverage (43%). Description compensates by explaining business_type taxonomy resolution, buyer_context.budget_signal usage, calling_agent.consent_scope impact, and accept_language defaulting.

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?

Title and description clearly state the tool is for requesting pricing/scoping for agent-ready engagements. It distinguishes itself from siblings like refine_quote by specifying initial scoping behavior and return of a quote band.

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?

Explicitly states when to use ('user wants pricing or scoping'), explains context-dependent output (wide vs. tight band), and gives clear guidance on capturing budget signals for re-engagement.

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

A4.3/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose, with descriptions that prevent confusion. Tools like scan_site and run_site_audit are differentiated by their focus on AI-readiness vs. site quality.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case, with clear action words like 'scan', 'create', 'get', 'verify'. Even longer names like 'summarize_scan_for_humans' maintain consistency.

Tool Count4/5

22 tools is slightly above the ideal range but justified by the comprehensive scope of the server, covering scanning, analysis, quoting, file delivery, and verification. Some tools like generate_files and get_customer_files could overlap but serve different contexts.

Completeness5/5

The tool surface covers the entire workflow from site scanning to deployment verification, with no obvious dead ends. All necessary operations for making a site agent-ready are present, including edge cases like x402 validation and credential verification.
