Search job cards in the workshop.

Args: status: One of booked, in_progress, waiting_parts, completed, invoiced. Use "open" for anything not yet finished. reg: Registration plate, full or partial (e.g. "LM19" or "LM19 KTZ"). technician: Technician name, full or partial. limit: Maximum number of job cards to return.

Full service history for one vehicle, newest first.

Use this to answer questions like "has this car been in before for the same fault?" - repeat visits for one symptom are the useful signal.

Args: reg: Registration plate, full or partial.

Look up parts stock.

Args: query: Part name or SKU, full or partial. Omit to list everything. only_low_stock: If true, return only parts at or below reorder level.

Open job cards that cannot proceed because a required part is short.

This is the question a service manager actually asks each morning, and it is the reason the assistant is worth having: answering it by hand means cross-referencing every open job against the stock list.

Workshop bookings for a given day.

Args: day: ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD), or "today" / "tomorrow". Defaults to today. technician: Technician name, full or partial. Omit for the whole workshop.

Add a note to a job card.

The only tool here that changes anything. It is narrow on purpose: it can append a note and nothing else. It cannot alter a job's status, its parts or its price - those are decisions that need a person.

Args: job_card: The job card ID to attach the note to. note: The text of the note. author: Who the note is from.
