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

- `estimate\_part`: Instantly estimate the should-cost of a manufactured part using natural language. Returns P50 \(median\), P80 and P90 cost-at-risk per unit based on Monte Carlo simulation of material price variance, labour rate variance and cycle time uncertainty. Use this for quick feasibility checks before building
- `search\_materials`: Search the Costable materials database \(37 materials with LME-sourced pricing\). Returns material name, category, price per kg, density, and strength properties.
- `search\_processes`: Search the Costable manufacturing process database \(41 processes\). Returns process name, category, machine rate \($/hr\), and cycle time model.
- `get\_labour\_rates`: Get manufacturing labour rates \($/hr\) for all skill levels in a given country. Data covers 16 skill levels across 25 countries \(ILO/BLS/ABS sourced\).
- `create\_cost\_model`: Create a new parametric cost model in Costable. Returns the model ID which is used by add\_material\_to\_model, add\_process\_to\_model, calculate\_cost\_model, and compare\_manufacturing\_countries.
- `add\_material\_to\_model`: Add a material \(BOM line\) to an existing cost model. Searches the materials database by name query — no need for exact IDs.
- `add\_process\_to\_model`: Add a manufacturing process step to an existing cost model. Searches the process database by name query — no need for exact IDs.
- `calculate\_cost\_model`: Run the Monte Carlo should-cost calculation on a cost model. Returns P50 \(median\), P80 and P90 cost-at-risk per unit, plus a full cost breakdown \(material, labour, machine, overhead, margin\).
- `compare\_manufacturing\_countries`: Run the cost model across multiple manufacturing countries simultaneously to identify the optimal sourcing location. Returns P50/P80/P90 per country and % delta vs baseline.
- `review\_supplier\_quote`: Analyse a supplier quote against Costable's should-cost benchmarks. Returns a line-by-line delta \(% over/under should-cost\), verdict \(LOW / COMPETITIVE / HIGH / VERY HIGH\), and a list of the top items to challenge in negotiation.
