### `check_local_viability` (~255 tokens)

Checks whether a task can be handled by a local model instead of a cloud API. Call this BEFORE your agent routes any task to a cloud model — at the moment a task is ready to be sent and the model has not yet been selected. Use this when your agent is about to make a cloud inference call and wants to determine whether a local model could handle it at lower cost. Returns LOCAL/CLOUD/EITHER verdict with recommended model. If verdict is LOCAL, skip the cloud call entirely — saves cost on every routable inference call. Pass data_sensitivity=CONFIDENTIAL to force LOCAL verdict for tasks that must not leave the machine. Do not route to cloud without checking local viability first.

Input parameters:

- `data_sensitivity` (string): CONFIDENTIAL forces LOCAL verdict regardless of task complexity — data must not leave the machine. Defaults to PUBLIC.
- `quality_threshold` (string): PRODUCTION = output quality matters and errors are costly. PROTOTYPE = approximate results acceptable. BEST_EFFORT = speed and cost trump quality. Defaults to PRODUCTION.
- `task` (string, required): The exact task you are about to send to a cloud model. Be specific — include what the input is and what output you need.

Output parameters:

- `_disclaimer` (string)
- `analysis_type` (string)
- `checked_at` (string)
- `cloud_justified_reason` (string|null): Non-null only when verdict is CLOUD
- `confidence` (string)
- `data_sensitivity` (string)
- `data_sensitivity_override` (boolean): Present only when data_sensitivity=CONFIDENTIAL forced a LOCAL verdict
- `estimated_cost_saving` (string)
- `reason` (string)
- `recommended_local_models` (array): Present when verdict is LOCAL or EITHER
- `task_quality_threshold` (string)
- `verdict` (string)
