plan_prototypeTurn a product description into a sourcing plan for a prototype or first batch: parts split into make (process, material, what a factory needs, matched manufacturers) and buy (module class, where such parts come from), integration steps, gaps and assumptions. Read-only, needs no…
create_projectStart a prototype project for the human you act for: we make the sourcing plan (as plan_prototype) and, once the person confirms by a click in their own mailbox, send one quote request per make-part to the matching manufacturers. Needs the requester e-mail and user_consent; noth…
get_projectRead a prototype project you created: the plan and, per part request, how many manufacturers were reached and how many quotes arrived. Needs the project_id and the token from create_project.
find_suppliersFind contract manufacturers in the directory by country and process. Processes: laser-cutting, cnc-machining, sheet-metal, 3d-printing, injection-molding, pcb-assembly, die-casting, welding, waterjet-cutting, metal-stamping, forging, heat-treatment, grinding-polishing, casting,…
match_manufacturersRank manufacturers for a structured part spec. Returns scored matches with the reasons, so an agent can explain the choice to its user.
get_design_rulesDesign-for-manufacturing rules for one process (sheet metal, CNC machining, injection molding, 3D printing, casting, welding, PCB assembly and more): typical tolerances, file formats, the rules with their reasons, a pre-RFQ checklist and common mistakes. Typical rules of thumb;…

get_rfq_requirementsWhat a factory needs to quote a given process (required and recommended items with accepted values). Read this before create_rfq so the request is complete.
upload_rfq_fileUpload a design file (STEP/STP, IGES/IGS, STL, 3MF, OBJ, DXF, DWG, PDF, ZIP (Gerber files go in a ZIP); up to 6 MB as base64 here, up to 100 MB with POST /api/v1/rfq/files?name=...). Returns a file_id to pass in create_rfq file_ids. Unused files expire after 24 hours. Only uploa…

send_messageFor a manufacturer's agent (needs the supplier token): write to the buyer of a request you were matched to — a question, an answer or an update, optionally with file_ids from upload_rfq_file. Draft it for the manufacturer and send only after they confirm.
