What this server can do
6 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
book_job(zip, name, email, phone, details, service, urgency, locksmith_id, preferred_time)- Create a booking request with a specific locksmith (firmer than request_quote). ONLY call when the user wants to book a job — it sends a real request. Provide a phone (preferred) or email. `preferred_time` is the requested window, e.g. "today 3-5pm". This is a booking REQUEST, not a guaranteed appointment; the locksmith confirms the time, price, and ETA. Returns a reference id (HL-####). Required: locksmith_id, name.
check_availability(location, locksmith_id)- Check coverage for one provider (locksmith_id) or an area (location: ZIP or city). Returns whether the area is served, how many vetted providers cover it, and how many offer 24/7 emergency service. Live availability is confirmed at request_quote — this does not return a real-time "available now" status, so don't imply one.
get_eta(location)- Get an ETA proxy for a location (ZIP or city). eta_minutes is null — HireLocksmiths does not pre-list ETAs. The tool returns the number of vetted providers nearby and whether 24/7 emergency coverage exists (usually fastest). For a real ETA, call request_quote and the locksmith confirms it directly. Never invent a number of minutes. Required: location.
get_locksmith(locksmith_id)- Get the full profile for one locksmith by id (from search_locksmiths). Returns name, city/state, services, service-area ZIPs, rating, review count, verification note, phone, and profile URL. Required: locksmith_id.
request_quote(zip, name, email, phone, details, service, urgency, locksmith_id)- Create a lead: ask a specific locksmith for a quote. ONLY call this when the user has chosen a provider and wants to be contacted — it sends a real request to the locksmith. Provide a phone (preferred) or email so the locksmith can reach the customer. Returns a reference id (HL-####); the locksmith confirms availability, price, and ETA directly. Args: locksmith_id: id from search_locksmiths / get_locksmith. name: Customer name. phone: Customer phone (preferred). Phone OR email is required. email: Customer email (alternative to phone). zip: 5-digit ZIP of the job (improves routing/records). service: Job type, e.g. "lockout", "automotive". details: Free-text description of the job. urgency: e.g. "emergency", "today". Required: locksmith_id, name.
search_locksmiths(limit, budget, service, urgency, location)- Find vetted, licensed locksmiths near a location. Use this first when a user needs a locksmith. Returns a ranked list of human-vetted providers (featured first) with id, name, city, services, rating, verified/featured flags, phone, and a profile URL. Args: location: A 5-digit US ZIP code (preferred) or a US city name. service: Optional job type, e.g. "lockout", "automotive", "residential", "commercial", "rekey", "install", "safe". urgency: Optional, e.g. "emergency", "today", "scheduled". budget: Optional free-text budget hint. limit: Max results to return (1-20, default 5). Note: price and ETA are NOT pre-listed — they are confirmed by the locksmith after you call request_quote. Do not invent prices or ETAs. Required: location.

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
