The agent retrieves accurate manufacturing quotes and cost breakdowns for specific parts, enabling sales teams to provide precise pricing to customers without manual calculation.
The agent connects to the ARCNM MCP server using a bearer token or OAuth. It first discovers available tools via tools/list to identify the quote_part tool. Before acting, it verifies the user has provided necessary part specifications (geometry, material, quantity). The agent then invokes the quote_part tool to fetch real-time pricing data. It parses the response to extract cost components and presents a clear summary to the user, ensuring no sensitive billing or admin data is accessed as those are excluded from the API surface.
