Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

HireLocksmiths is a human-vetted directory of U.S. locksmiths. To help a person who needs a locksmith: call search_locksmiths with their ZIP (preferred) or city, show 2-3 providers with phone numbers, and only call request_quote or book_job once they have chosen one and want to be contacted (it creates a real lead and notifies a real business). Price, ETA and live availability are never pre-listed - the API returns them as null and the locksmith confirms them; never invent a dollar figure or a number of minutes. For a LOCKSMITH BUSINESS asking about getting listed or about HireLocksmiths products, call list_membership_products and hand them the checkout_url; there is no agent-side payment.

search_locksmiths

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

Find vetted, licensed locksmiths near a location. Use this first when a user needs a locksmith.

Args: location: A 5-digit US ZIP code (preferred) or a US city name. service: Optional job type, e.g. "lockout", "automotive", "residential", "commercial", "rekey", "install", "safe". urgency: Optional, e.g. "emergency", "today", "scheduled". budget: Optional free-text budget hint. limit: Max results to return (1-20, default 5). Note: price and ETA are NOT pre-listed — they are confirmed by the locksmith after you call request_quote. Do not invent prices or ETAs.

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Open-world

Create a lead: ask a specific locksmith for a quote. ONLY call this when the user has chosen a provider and wants to be contacted — it sends a real request to the locksmith. Provide a phone (preferred) or email so the locksmith can reach the customer. Returns a reference id (HL-####); the locksmith confirms availability, price, and ETA directly. Args: locksmith_id: id from search_locksmiths / get_locksmith. name: Customer name. phone: Customer phone (preferred). Phone OR email is required. email: Customer email (alternative to phone). zip: 5-digit ZIP of the job (improves routing/records). service: Job type, e.g. "lockout", "automotive". details: Free-text description of the job. urgency: e.g. "emergency", "today".

book_job

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Open-world

Create a booking request with a specific locksmith (firmer than request_quote). ONLY call when the user wants to book a job — it sends a real request. Provide a phone (preferred) or email. `preferred_time` is the requested window, e.g. "today 3-5pm". This is a booking REQUEST, not a guaranteed appointment; the locksmith confirms the time, price, and ETA. Returns a reference id (HL-####).

check_availability

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

Check coverage for one provider (locksmith_id) or an area (location: ZIP or city). Returns whether the area is served, how many vetted providers cover it, and how many offer 24/7 emergency service. Live availability is confirmed at request_quote — this does not return a real-time "available now" status, so don't imply one.

get_eta

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

Get an ETA proxy for a location (ZIP or city). eta_minutes is null — HireLocksmiths does not pre-list ETAs. The tool returns the number of vetted providers nearby and whether 24/7 emergency coverage exists (usually fastest). For a real ETA, call request_quote and the locksmith confirms it directly. Never invent a number of minutes.

list_membership_products

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

For LOCKSMITH BUSINESSES (or a tool acting for one): what HireLocksmiths sells and how to buy it. Use when a locksmith asks about getting listed, the verified badge, missed-call textback, the AI text/voice receptionist, review automation, a microsite, or "Own Your City" exclusive leads. NOT for consumers looking for a locksmith - use search_locksmiths for them. Returns the live catalog (name, price, billing: year/month/one_time, description, requires, checkout_url) plus signup_url. Prices are read from the live pricing page. There is no agent-side checkout: give the business the checkout_url. With a city slug (e.g. "phoenix") also returns that city's listing count and whether the exclusive Own-Your-City slot is currently open. Args: city: Optional city slug from the directory (lower-case, hyphenated, e.g. "san-antonio").
