Tools (5)
🟢recommend-boat-type(purpose, water_type, crew_count, space_preference, activities, ...)
Returns a quick, text-only boat type recommendation based on however many preferences are known (all fields optional). Use this only when the user explicitly asks for a fast, non-interactive answer, or the current client cannot render interactive content — in every other case, prefer boat-quiz instead, which covers the same recommendation through a guided, interactive experience that also lets the user adjust their answers. Having fully known preferences is not by itself a reason to use this tool over boat-quiz.

}🟢boat-quiz(step, purpose, water_type, crew_count, space_preference, ...)
The preferred way to help someone figure out what type of boat to buy, especially on a client that can render interactive app content. Launches a guided, step-by-step quiz covering purpose, water type, crew size, budget, and more, then shows their top boat type matches with why each fits. Any preferences already known from the conversation can be passed in up front and will be pre-filled in the quiz, so having known preferences is a reason to use this tool, not a reason to skip it. Use recommend-boat-type instead only when the user explicitly asks for a quick, non-interactive text answer, or the current client cannot render interactive content.
