## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent or homeowner needs an itemized, priced, and sourceable materials list for a construction or renovation project — especially when the goal is procurement planning rather than overall budget estimation or scheduling. Prefer this over the cost estimate endpoint when the user specifically wants to know what to buy and where, not just total cost.

## Known failure modes

- Incomplete project description causes vague or incomplete materials list
- Unsupported project type returns empty or generic results
- Pricing data may be regionally unavailable for some locations
- Payment of 0.1 USDC per call required via x402 — missing payment returns 402 error
- Very large or complex projects may return truncated results
