Agent Fabrication Network (UFP)

Create the order and get a hosted payment link for a chosen offer. Call this as soon as the user picks an offer + shipping speed — do NOT ask for their address first: the secure payment page collects the shipping address and email. Only pass address fields if the user already volunteered them. Returns checkout_url — give it to the user to pay; UFP places the vendor order automatically after payment.

Step 2 after a quote response says the board is still filling: waits for the remaining vendors to answer (up to ~40s) and returns the final board and offers. Call with just quote_id, immediately after the response that told you to. Never call it otherwise.

Get ranked, purchasable offers (price, ETA, preview image) for fabricating a physical item from a design file. process=fdm_print for 3D printing a model (STL/OBJ/PLY/3MF/AMF/STEP/IGES), process=cnc or process=sheetmetal for machined/bent metal parts (STEP, IGES, DXF), process=decal for stickers/decals from artwork (any common image or design file — PNG/JPG/HEIC/TIFF/GIF/BMP/WEBP/AVIF/SVG/PDF/AI/EPS/PSD/CDR, auto-converted). A .ufp file (UFP part container: the design plus saved spec/constraints in one) is accepted anywhere a design file is — its saved intent applies automatically and anything the user states now wins. If the user just drops a file and asks for a price, omit process — UFP routes it. Provide the design either as design_file (an image/file the user attached or you generated — preferred) or file_url (a public URL). REORDERS: if the user has a UFP part number (from a receipt email or a previous session, looks like UFP-… or part_…), pass it as part_number INSTEAD of any file — the stored design and spec are reused and re-shopped across all current vendors. Locked parts additionally require share_key (from the owner's share link). Returns offers across vendors like Google Flights returns flights.

Honest, cited material intelligence for material-choice / strength / durability / heat / outdoor questions ("my PLA part broke, what's stronger?", "will this survive outdoors?"). Returns caveats-FIRST facts: published specs (tensile, heat-deflection, UV/outdoor, chemical) each tagged vendor-cited vs general engineering knowledge, "stronger/tougher/hotter than X" ladders (PLA→PETG→ABS/ASA→nylon/PC→metals), and finish/coating options. Call it BEFORE answering such a question, then relay the facts. It supplies FACTS ONLY — comparative specs and vendor-admitted caveats, never a fitness-for-purpose or safety guarantee (that stays your judgment boundary); name express vendor claims "advertised", not "certified".

Check status, ETA and tracking for a UFP order.

Record the user's verified-purchase review of how a UFP order turned out. YOUR JOB IS TO STRUCTURE THE FEEDBACK: turn what the user actually said into stars (1-5 overall) and facet scores — "the cut was sloppy" -> quality, "parts arrived 2 days late" -> timeliness, "wrong color" -> accuracy. Keep the optional comment to a short factual summary of their words; never embellish. ALWAYS draft the review (stars, facets, comment) and confirm it with the user BEFORE calling this tool — e.g. "I'll rate this 2 stars with timeliness 1 because it arrived 2 days late — send it?". One review per order: submitting again updates the existing review. Use list_orders first if you need to resolve which order they mean.

List this agent's recent UFP orders (newest first): order id, what was made, vendor, status, total, ETA, created date. Use it to resolve vague references — "my sticker order", "that order from 6 days ago" — to a concrete order_id before calling get_order_status or leave_review.

INTERNAL — the offer board calls this to refresh itself while vendors finish pricing. Never call this yourself: to pick up new offers, use refine_quote with just quote_id.

Narrow an existing quote with new constraints (destination ZIP the user just provided, deadline, outdoor/waterproof/heat/food-safety requirements, budget, vendor reliability, verbatim requirements terms, drawing callouts, a process filter — "no, I meant in sheet metal" → processes — or a ship-from country filter — "only US vendors" → ships_from) — or CHANGE its spec: material, color, or quantities. Changing material/quantity is a spec change, not a narrowing — pass it via the material/color/quantities args, NOT as a requirements term; the affected lanes re-price with the new spec through warm vendor sessions. For side-by-side comparisons ("how does carbon steel compare?"), add a scenario label — labeled refines coexist instead of replacing each other (max 4). "Organize by" ("sort by cheapest", "soonest arrival on top", "most green first") is also this tool: sort_by for objective orders, sort_order + sort_label for orders you judged yourself from the previews — presentation only, instant, nothing re-prices. Call with ONLY quote_id to re-read the quote (e.g. to pick up preview images that finished rendering).
