For AI Assistants and Agents
This site provides a structured HVAC repair-or-replace decision tool that is callable by compatible AI systems. A WebMCP interface is live — agents can call the same 8 tools and the same canonical decision engine used by the public calculator via JSON-RPC 2.0 (initialize, tools/list, tools/call) over a Remote MCP endpoint, an HTTP WebMCP endpoint, and page-level registration via document.modelContext.registerTool() (each with a REST fallback to the versioned /api/v1 API). Safety routing is preserved: when gas, carbon-monoxide, or electrical hazards are reported, the tool returns an immediate-service safety hard-stop, and all recommendations require on-site verification.
