Tools as reported by the server

• simulate_mmc
  Run a generic M/M/c queue simulation. Provide an arrival rate (λ, arrivals/hour), a service rate per server (μ, customers/hour each server can finish), and a server count (c). Optional: distribution shapes, service coefficient of variation, run length. Returns per-hour metrics and an overall summary
• list_scenarios
  List the four pre-built QueueSim scenarios. Returns key, title, and one-line description for each (Single Server, Coffee Shop, Grocery Checkout, Call Center). Call this when the user's problem matches one of the preset shapes — use describe_scenario for more detail and simulate_scenario to run one.
• describe_scenario
  Return full details for one preset scenario: title, description, teaching note, peak parameters, and per-hour arrival + staffing arrays. Use this before simulate_scenario to understand the default shape and what overrides make sense.
• simulate_scenario
  Run one of the four preset scenarios (single, coffee, grocery, callcenter) with optional overrides. Overrides apply UNIFORMLY across open hours — e.g. setting servers=5 on 'coffee' replaces the 4/6/4 staffing pattern with a flat 5 during open hours (closed hours stay at zero). Use this for (a) faith
• simulate_schedule
  Run a queueing simulation against an arbitrary 24-hour staffing schedule. Take this when the user describes a custom day shape that doesn't match a preset (e.g., 'my coffee shop is open 6am–10pm with 4 baristas off-peak, 7 at the 8am rush, 5 at the 4pm rush'). Inputs: `arrivalRates` (24-element arra
• compare_separate_vs_pooled
  Run the classic operations-research teaching demo: pooled queueing (one shared queue, c servers) vs separate queues (c independent queues, one server each, λ/c traffic to each). Both runs have identical total capacity (c × μ) and identical total arrivals (λ), so the offered load ρ is the same; the o
• explain_queueing_theory
  Return a ~500-word educational explainer of M/M/c queueing theory: Little's Law, utilization, why averages mislead, how simulation relates to Erlang-C. No inputs. Use this when the user asks a conceptual 'why' or 'how does this work' question rather than asking for a number.
• explain_advanced_patterns
  Return a textbook-level description of six queueing complexity patterns beyond basic M/M/c: abandonment/reneging, priority tiers, overflow routing, skills-based routing, compound service, and server outages. Use this when the user describes real-world complexity (customers hanging up, VIP queues, sp
• recommend_staffing
  INVERSE of simulate_mmc — given an arrival rate, service rate, and a target average wait time, returns the SMALLEST number of servers needed to meet the target. Use this when the user asks 'how many servers do I need?' / 'what staffing keeps wait under N minutes?'. The tool runs a binary search over
• interpret_result
  Given an M/M/c configuration (arrivalRate, serviceRate, servers) and optionally an observed average wait, returns a queueing-theory framed interpretation: where you sit on the utilization curve, what ρ means in plain language, what one more or fewer server would qualitatively do, and which complexit
• compare_analytical_vs_simulated
  Run the same M/M/c configuration through BOTH the closed-form Erlang-C formula AND the discrete-event simulator, returning a side-by-side comparison with deltas. Use this when the user is validating QueueSim's engine against textbook values, learning queueing theory by watching simulation converge o
