Example prompt: I'm a general contractor hiring a framing subcontractor for a two-story residential addition in Austin, TX — can you pull the current market rates, a scope of work outline, a bid checklist, and the key contract terms I should use?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a general contractor, project manager, or contractor agent needs to quickly understand fair market pricing, proper scope definition, bid evaluation criteria, and contract structure for a specific trade subcontractor. Best suited for residential and commercial construction contexts where you need actionable subcontractor intelligence in one call rather than piecing together data from multiple sources.

## Known failure modes

- Missing trade type or location returns incomplete or generic data
- Unsupported trade category returns an error or empty result
- Rate limit exceeded returns 429 status
- Payment not processed returns 402 Payment Required
- Ambiguous scope of work input may yield overly broad results
