Several pairs have fuzzy boundaries: request_contact and request_service both 'send a request to ONE business' (one is framed as a form UI), and watch_business and watch_licenses both email a watch link with different pricing tiers. ask vs find_businesses and verify_license vs license_history are also adjacent, though descriptions do give some separating cues.
Eleven of thirteen names follow a clear snake_case verb_noun pattern (find_businesses, get_business, verify_license, request_quotes). The outliers are 'ask' (bare verb) and 'license_history' (noun_noun), but both remain readable.
13 tools sits comfortably in the expected 3-15 range for a directory with licensing lookups. Two pairs look redundant rather than additive, so the surface is slightly heavier than the underlying capabilities require.
Search, detail, categories, license verification/history, contact requests, quotes, estimate booking and license watching cover the core discover-to-contact lifecycle. Minor gaps remain (e.g. no way to manage or cancel an existing watch/subscription, no explicit listing-page or pagination tool), but agents can work around them.
Available Tools
13 toolsaskAsk the directoryARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Ask in plain words ('licensed electrician near 92101 who does EV chargers') and get a short answer built only from listings, plus the businesses it rests on, in the published order. Same rules as find_businesses: no ranking or recommendation language, coverage stated honestly.
Inputs: question (required), where. Returns: note, text, label, intent, +6 more
book_estimateBook an estimate visitAInspect
Books an estimate visit with ONE contractor the person chose whose listing shows luma.books_online. The contractor calls the person to confirm the time. Call it once without consent to get consent_text, show it, and call again with consent=true only if they agree.
Inputs: job (required), name (required), phone (required), address (required), +4 more. Returns: why, next, booked, business, +4 more
find_businessesFind businessesARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Search the DouxProcess Directory for US businesses by what the person needs (roofer, electrician, insurance agency...) and where (a city and state, a ZIP, or a state). Returns the matches in the published ranking order with license, how it was checked, phone, website and listing page. covered=false with a note means the directory does not hold that kind of business or place yet: say so, do not guess. Nobody pays for placement; listings affiliated with DouxProcess's owner carry a disclosure, pass it on. Do not rank, rate or recommend; show the options and let the person choose.
Inputs: city, page, limit, query, +6 more. Returns: note, count, total, intent, +5 more
get_businessGet one businessARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
One business's details: licenses with their basis (issuer_file = matched against the issuer's own published file on checked_at; stated = given by the business, not yet matched, send the person to source_url), contact, whether it takes requests, and its own agent addresses (MCP and A2A).
Inputs: slug (required). Returns: city, luma, name, note, +21 more
license_historyLicense historyARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
A California contractor license's record in the CSLB's public file, and every change since the directory began reading it daily: status and suspensions, workers' comp type and dates, bond amounts and dates, classes, expiry. Give a CSLB license number or a listing link. It never includes an insurer, surety or person's name, or a policy, bond or case number. Report what it says; do not judge the business. Not for decisions about a person's credit, employment, insurance or housing.
Inputs: license (required). Returns: note, page, slug, found, +4 more
list_categoriesList categoriesARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Every category with its id, NAICS 2022 code, plain name, Google Business Profile names, how many listings it has, and whether requests for it are sent (health is listed but never routed).
Inputs: no named parameters. Returns: note, total, categories
request_contactSend a request to one businessAInspect
Sends the person's request to the ONE business they chose, so it can reply to them. Only claimed listings take requests, and health businesses never do. Before calling, show the person this sentence and get their agreement: 'I agree that DouxProcess sends my name, my contact details and this request to , and only to them, so they can reply to me about it.' Set consent=true only if they agreed. Clients that support forms get a consent form instead. Never include health details, card numbers, ID numbers or passwords.
Inputs: name (required), slug (required), consent (required), details (required), +2 more. Returns: why, next, sent, routed, +4 more
request_quotesGet quotes from contractors nearbyAInspect
Sends the person's request to up to 3 licensed contractors near them who use Luma (the contractor app DouxProcess Inc. builds), Luma Pro members first, and returns the other matches with their own contact details. Call it once without consent to get consent_text and the disclosure, show both to the person, and call again with consent=true only if they agree. Never include card numbers, ID numbers or passwords.
Inputs: name (required), where (required), consent (required), details (required), +5 more. Returns: why, next, sent, count, +4 more
request_serviceRequest a quoteARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Open the request form for one business the person chose (ChatGPT local services Get Quote). The form shows the consent sentence and sends only when the person ticks it. For a business that does not take requests it shows the business's own phone and website.
Inputs: business_id (required). Returns: how, business, can_request, consent_text
verify_businessIs it licensed, bonded and insuredARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Is this business licensed, bonded and insured today, from the government record. Give a listing slug, a license number, or a business name with its two-letter state. Returns licensed, bonded and insured as true, false or null (the record does not say), each with its source, checked_at day and record_url, the board's open gaps, and the listing URL. For CSLB contractors insured means workers' comp. Report the facts and link the record; do not judge the business. Not for decisions about a person's credit, employment, insurance or housing.
Inputs: name, slug, state, issuer, +1 more. Returns: name, note, slug, facts, +15 more
verify_licenseCheck a licenseARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Look up a license by number, business name or phone and say which listings carry it and how it was checked. When nothing matches, tell the person to check the issuer's own lookup; never say a license is valid without a match.
Inputs: name, phone, issuer, number. Returns: ok, why, note, found, +3 more

Before calling, show them this and get their yes: 'I agree that DouxProcess Directory may email about changes to these licenses (status, workers' comp, bonds, classes, expiry).
