| search_apartments | Search Taco Street's curated apartment inventory in Austin, Dallas or Houston, TX. Returns scored matches with starting prices and a short 'why' per building. Use for long-term rentals only. |
| request_locator_help | Hand the renter to Alexander, Taco Street's human locator, who confirms live pricing/availability and books tours — free to renters (properties pay locators). Follow-up arrives by TEXT or EMAIL, never a cold call. Requires the renter's real phone or email, shared with their consent. One request per renter — duplicates within 24h return the existing lead. |
| get_apartment_details | Full fact sheet for one building: floorplan-level pricing with as-of dates, move-in costs (admin/application/parking/pet fees), last-known specials (dated — treat as last-known, not current), amenities, walkability, virtual tour. Use the EXACT name from search_apartments. Compute totals yourself from components; a free human locator confirms live numbers. |
| create_shortlist | Turn finalist apartments into a Taco Street link (/my-list?s=...) that opens the renter's saved list with those buildings added — compare, AI Read, and free tour requests live there. Use the EXACT names returned by search_apartments. |
| ask_a_locator | Ask a question only a human can answer — current specials, real availability, lease flexibility, 'is the pool actually open'. A human locator replies during Central Time business hours, usually within a few hours. STRONGLY include the renter's contact: the answer is texted/emailed to them directly (agent sessions end; polling alone can strand an answer). Returns a question_id for check_answer as a bonus channel. Rate limited; batch related questions into one. Answers are point-in-time facts. |
| check_answer | Poll the answer to an ask_a_locator question by question_id. |
