Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| dental_cost_by_stateA | Get the low/average/high cash price for a dental procedure in a specific US state, compared to the national average. Example: procedure="implant", state="CA" returns California's single-implant price range plus how it compares to the 51-state (incl. DC) national average and the state's dental cost index. Market research pricing data, not medical or financial advice. |
| dental_cost_by_cityA | Get average dental costs (implants, veneers, braces) and clinic counts for a specific US city. Example: city="Miami" returns Miami's average prices plus the parent state's low/high range for context (city-level data in the source is a single observed average per procedure — no separate city min/max exists upstream). Pass "state" (2-letter code) to disambiguate same-named cities. Market research pricing data, not medical or financial advice. |
| out_of_pocket_estimateA | Estimate what a patient actually pays for a dental procedure in a given state under a payment mode: "cash" (full list price), "insurance" (typical US PPO plan: preventive ~100%, basic ~80% up to a $1,500 annual max, major/ortho ~50% up to the same max, cosmetic/implants not covered), or "savings_plan" (dental discount plan, ~20-40% off list price). Example: procedure="crown", state="TX", mode="insurance". Market research pricing data, not medical or financial advice. |
| dental_national_averageA | Get the US national average low/avg/high cash price for a dental procedure (mean across all 51 states + DC), plus which state is cheapest and priciest on average. Example: procedure="veneer". Market research pricing data, not medical or financial advice. |

Scored across 4 tools
Each tool targets a distinct geographic or pricing use case: city-level, state-level, national average, and out-of-pocket estimation. No overlap in purpose, and descriptions clearly differentiate them.
All tools follow a consistent `dental_` prefix followed by a descriptive noun phrase (e.g., `dental_cost_by_city`, `out_of_pocket_estimate`). Pattern is uniform and predictable.
With 4 tools, the set is slightly small but well-scoped for the domain of US dental cost queries. No tool feels redundant, and the count is appropriate for the focused purpose.
Covers the primary queries: costs by city, state, national average, and out-of-pocket estimates. Minor gaps like a list of procedures or a comparison tool across states exist, but the core use cases are addressed.
