Tools of ChatStack - App Cost Estimator
	Description		Read-only	Idempotent	Open world
`get_estimate_status`Read the current app cost estimate without advancing it. Returns flow_stage, pending_gate, and pending_gate_payload. After submission it also returns post_submit_notice and post_submit_links: relay the notice verbatim, keep every URL, and do not add an email-delivery caveat. Pass the thread_id and interview_handle from the Session section. Do not call start_session to recover a session, and do not use this tool to approve, edit, or submit.

`send_action`Submit the user's pending choice. Set action_type to a value from pending_gate_payload.allowed_actions. In Review each step, action_type is required; confirmed_by_user=true is preferred and is not a substitute for it. In Run it for me, omit action_type and payload to advance one milestone, and do not ask the user to choose – show the user that milestone's Auto-complete decision receipt and pipe-table. Do not ask them to approve it. Call send_action once per result, and only again on the next result while next_tool is send_action. When next_tool is submit_prd, stop and offer submission. An approve moves one phase: stories to requirements, requirements to the technical spec, then the tech spec to the estimate. In Review each step, stories_reject, requirements_reject, and techspec_reject show the current table again and wait. When the user describes the change, call send_turn with their exact words and show the regenerated table that comes back. mode_select_a, mode_select_b, and mode_select_c are only the How much time pick: Normal, Quick estimate, or Detailed. Do not use them for Review each step or Run it for me. That choice is send_turn with interaction_mode. For clarifying_questions_submit, set payload.answers by question id with the letter only, such as {"q1":"A","q2":"B"}, not "1A". A plain reply such as "1B, 2A, 3C", or any wording that combines options, goes through send_turn. Do not split one question into several letters.	Submit the user's pending choice.

`send_turn`Continue an app cost estimate by sending the user's answers or requested changes to the MVP scope, user stories, requirements, or technical specification. Pass their exact words in input_as_text, even when next_tool is send_action. Compact replies such as "1A, 2B" are valid. Preserve the user's selections; in interaction mode Review each step do not choose answers for them. In interaction mode Review each step, relay the pipe-table and wait for approval. In Run it for me, relay the table and the decision receipt, then continue. After the user picks Review each step or Run it for me, set interaction_mode to clarify_first or auto_complete on this call. Include input_as_text when their reply also contains an idea or an answer. Omit input_as_text only when the reply is just the mode. Do not use send_action or mode_select_* for that choice. If no mode is set yet and the user continues without choosing, omit interaction_mode and the server accepts clarify_first. Phrases like "Run it for me" or "auto-complete" in input_as_text switch the thread to auto_complete.

`start_session`Start a guided session to estimate app development cost, scope an MVP, and generate a software PRD. No portal account or personal access token is required. Call it with no arguments unless the user already named Review each step (clarify_first) or Run it for me (auto_complete). Do not choose an interaction mode on the user's behalf — wanting an estimate or a fast answer is not auto_complete. If interaction_mode_question is returned, show both Review each step and Run it for me, with Review each step as the default, and wait for the user's pick before send_turn. The text result has a Session section with thread_id and interview_handle. Copy those into every later tool. Preserve an explicitly selected mode without asking the user to choose again.

`submit_prd`Submit the completed software PRD and app development estimate for email delivery and portal project creation. Call it only after user stories, requirements, tech specs, and the estimate exist. (flow_stage estimate). Run it for me stops at this tool. Offer submission and wait for the user. Do not submit it the way an empty send_action advances a milestone. Before calling, tell the user it emails the pack and creates a portal project. Propose first_name, last_name, email, country, and project_name already provided by the user, or a project name suggested by the tool. Show those values for confirmation and ask only for missing fields; if none are known, ask for all five. Set confirmed_by_user=true only after they confirm. Offer optional feedback and omit it if they skip. Never invent a contact field. If they decline, do not call this tool. Omit contact arguments the thread already collected. Pass the thread_id and interview_handle from the Session section. Success is only a ### PRD submitted notice plus project_id and version_id in the Session block. Relay post_submit_notice verbatim, including its line breaks and every URL, and do not add an email-delivery caveat. Do not show project_id or version_id to the user. A missing next_tool, a timeout, or an error is not success. If the result is unclear, call get_estimate_status. Do not call submit_prd again while that check is still unclear. Do not call submit_prd again after a receipt with both ids.	Submit the completed software PRD and app development estimate for email delivery and portal project creation.
