## Tools (as reported by the server, not verified)

- `steel\_gauge\_thickness`: Look up sheet steel gauge thickness \(gauges 3-28\) in inches and mm with lb/ft², for plain, galvanized or stainless series. Published nominal values for estimating and orientation, not design guidance.
- `steel\_plate\_weight`: Compute carbon steel plate weight from thickness \(decimal or fraction\) and width/length in inches, with optional material cost via price\_per\_lb. Published nominal values for estimating and orientation, not design guidance.
- `steel\_shape\_weight`: Look up an AISC shape designation \(W, C, MC, L, HSS, PIPE\) for lb/ft, depth and area, with optional piece weight. 14th-Edition-era data. Published nominal values for estimating and orientation, not design guidance.
- `steel\_connection\_reference`: Describe a structural steel connection type \(behaviour, use, what goes wrong\) by name, alias or slug — or look up a structural bolt grade \(A325, A490, A307\). Published nominal values for estimating and orientation, not design guidance.
- `steel\_bolt\_pretension`: RCSC minimum pretension for A325/A490 structural bolts by diameter, with the turn-of-the-nut rotation when a bolt length is given. Published nominal values for estimating and orientation, not design guidance.
- `steel\_pipe\_schedule`: Steel pipe dimensions by NPS and schedule: OD, wall, inside diameter and lb/ft for schedules 5, 10, 40/STD, 80/XS, 160 and XXS. Omit the schedule to list them all. Published nominal values for estimating and orientation, not design guidance.
- `steel\_section\_weight`: Weight of round bar, square bar, flat bar or round tube from dimensions in inches — lb/ft and optional piece weight, in carbon, stainless or aluminum. For AISC designations use steel\_shape\_weight; for plate use steel\_plate\_weight. Published nominal values for estimating and orientation, not design g
- `steel\_mtr\_check`: Screen a mill cert's yield and tensile against the specified limits for A992, A572 Gr. 50 or A36 — a screening aid, not acceptance. Published nominal values for estimating and orientation, not design guidance.
- `steel\_takeoff\_weight`: Roll a member list \(AISC designation, length in feet, piece count — up to 500 lines\) into a bill-of-steel ledger: weight per line, total pounds and tons, piece and lineal-foot counts. Net weight only; unmatched designations are listed, not guessed. Published nominal values for estimating and orienta
- `steel\_coating\_area`: Surface area to coat for an AISC shape: ft² per foot from the cross-section perimeter, piece/lot area with length and qty, optional interior faces for galvanized tubes and gallons at a supplied coverage rate. Published nominal values for estimating and orientation, not design guidance.
- `steel\_rfq\_generate`: Generate a vendor-ready Request for Quotation \(.xlsx\) from structured takeoff line items — grouped by material, with vendor pricing columns, totals and standard terms. You pass parsed line items and a company name; returns a download link that expires within \~48 hours. Nothing you submit is stored.
- `steel\_pdf\_markup`: Add real Bluebeam-compatible annotation objects to a drawing PDF — counts, length/area measurements with live scales, RFI clouds, callouts — from a markups JSON you supply plus placement coordinates. Pass the PDF as an https URL or small base64; returns a marked PDF download link that expires within
- `steel\_rfi\_generate`: Generate a formal Request for Information PDF from structured fields — header, meta grid, subject, description, proposed solution, attachments, and a blank response block for the design team. You do the judgement \(one issue per RFI, exact drawing references, a proposed path forward\); the tool guaran
- `steel\_ncr\_generate`: Generate a formal Nonconformance Report PDF: identification, description, the violated requirement, containment, root cause \(prose or 5-Whys chain\), disposition \(accept-as-is/repair/rework/reject\) with actions, and blank quality-review and sign-off blocks. Flags accept-as-is dispositions whose corre
