}🟡create_project(name, address, metro_code, idempotency_key)
Create a new construction estimate project in the connected Portravo account. Supply the project name and optional address or supported metro_code. Reuse the same idempotency_key on retry to create exactly one project. Does not run extraction or consume estimate credits.

}🟢attach_plan_pdf(project_id, plan, plan_inline, idempotency_key)
Attach a PDF selected in this conversation as the first plan for a new Portravo project. Only PDF attachments up to 25 MiB are supported. Prefer the host-provided plan download_url/file_id. If unavailable, plan_inline accepts canonical base64 computed from the exact user-uploaded PDF bytes, with file_name and application/pdf mime_type, up to 32 KiB. Supply exactly one of plan or plan_inline; never recreate document bytes from text. Existing plans and review work are protected. Supply a stable idempotency_key and reuse it on retry. Stores the selected PDF privately in the connected account; does not extract or consume credits.

}⚪run_takeoff(project_id, confirm_credit_use, idempotency_key)
Run the initial AI takeoff for a new project with an attached plan PDF. This consumes one estimate from the user's existing Portravo balance; ask for explicit credit-use confirmation before setting confirm_credit_use=true. Reuse the idempotency_key on retry to prevent a duplicate charge. Returns extracted quantities for review in Portravo, not a bid-ready estimate. Failed provider runs refund the reservation; existing review work cannot be overwritten.

}🟢export_reviewed_estimate(project_id)
Get a short-lived Excel XLSX download for an owned Portravo estimate after every takeoff line has been reviewed and the estimate is priced or final. If review is incomplete, return the Portravo review link and let the user complete quantities, assembly mappings and pricing there. Never exports unreviewed estimates.
