Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| get_pricing | Full sourced pricing record for a software product: tiers, hidden costs, contract terms, market data, sentiment, negotiation tips, TCO scenarios, price history — every claim with its sources + a confidence/verification envelope. |
| get_hidden_costsA | The documented hidden/implementation/add-on costs of a product (uplifts, onboarding fees, overages), each with a sourced quote + date. The "what they don't tell you" answer. |
| get_negotiation_tipsB | Sourced negotiation tactics for a product with success-likelihood (how to get a discount). |
| get_price_history | Per-quarter price snapshots + trend for a product — has its price changed? |
| compare_software | Side-by-side pricing comparison of 2–4 products (starting price, enterprise tier, median annual cost, free tier, ratings). |
| discover_software | Find software products by criteria (category, max price, free tier). Returns matching slugs to look up. |
| calculate_tco | Total cost of ownership for a product and team size: sourced line items (licenses with price escalation, benchmark implementation), year-one + multi-year totals, effective per-seat cost. The defensible "true cost for an N-person team" answer. |
| estimate_llm_cost | Estimate the cost of an LLM/API workload (input + output tokens) for a usage-priced provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock…) from its real rate card. |
