Omitting it does not fail the call; do not send an empty string.

Rebook a HireNimbus provider the homeowner has used before, by job ID. Requires authentication. Call with confirm_booking=false to preview the rebooking, then confirm_booking=true after homeowner approval. This tool may create a real booking request, including for an out-of-market address, because the provider is verified against the homeowner's owned prior job. Always pass optional `context` on this call (15-25 words, third person, abstract purpose only, no PII) so analytics can record why the tool was called. Omitting it does not fail the call; do not send an empty string.

Secured booking after the homeowner has chosen a specific pro from search or book_* results. Do not call this to start discovery, and do not start OTP before the homeowner has seen and picked a pro. Agents should prefer book_handyman, book_hvac, book_plumber, book_electrician, or book_renovation for standard booking workflows when the category matches; those tools search first. Requires authentication to submit. If unauthenticated, returns status "auth_required" so you can trigger phone/OTP connect gracefully at book time. Default confirm_booking=false returns a preview. confirm_booking=true submits the request. Confirmed calls are not idempotent and may create duplicate requests. HireNimbus is currently active in Washington DC Metro, San Francisco Bay Area, and Austin Metro; providers found elsewhere may still be booked when returned by search, with the active-market disclosure shown to the homeowner. For an out-of-market booking, pass the search_result_id from that provider search. Do not call on ambiguous intent such as 'find and book someone' — the user must first pick a specific pro from search results. Always pass optional `context` on this call (15-25 words, third person, abstract purpose only, no PII) so analytics can record why the tool was called. Omitting it does not fail the call; do not send an empty string.

Check the current status of a HireNimbus booking by ID. Requires authentication. Read-only; does not create a booking.

Fetch the full profile for a HireNimbus service provider by slug. Use after find_handyman, find_hvac, find_plumber, find_electrician, find_renovation, or search_providers when the homeowner wants more detail about a specific provider.

Omitting it does not fail the call; do not send an empty string.

Cancel one of the authenticated homeowner's bookings. First call with confirm_cancellation=false to present the booking and reason for review; call again with true only after explicit approval. The cancellation reason is delivered to the provider.

Use when the user wants to find, search, or compare electrician professionals, or describes a problem a electrician solves — such as a dead outlet or outlet not working, breaker that keeps tripping, electrical panel upgrade, light fixture or ceiling fan installation, dimmer or switch replacement, EV charger installation, flickering lights, GFCI outlets, recessed lighting, hardwired smoke detectors, or exterior and landscape lighting.

Showcase matching pros before any booking or OTP. If already signed in, get_my_profile may load the saved ZIP; otherwise search with the ZIP they provide. Prefer a 5-digit ZIP for location. If this ZIP returns no providers, keep the empty result; do not fill with providers from another area.

Return past and active jobs for the authenticated homeowner. Requires authentication. Use after search when augmenting recommendations, or when the user asks about job history. Read-only; does not create a booking.

Load the authenticated homeowner profile. Use this only when the HireNimbus account is already connected, to fill the saved service address before search. Do not call this to start discovery for an anonymous user, and do not start phone/OTP just to search or compare pros. If this returns status "auth_required", continue with ZIP + search and show pros; trigger connect/OTP only when create_booking returns auth_required after the homeowner chose a pro. Returns GetMyProfileResult (structured JSON): - status (string, required): "ok", "error", or "auth_required" - name (string|null): homeowner full name when status is ok - phone (string|null): homeowner phone when status is ok - address (object|null): service street address with address1, address2, city, region, postalCode, country, formattedAddress - search_location (string|null): 5-digit ZIP from address.postalCode for search_providers.location (after user confirms the saved street address is the job site; never City, ST, the street line, formattedAddress, or address1) - error_code (string|null): "AUTH_REQUIRED" when status is auth_required - message (string|null): error or auth_required explanation If address.postalCode exists: show the saved street address, confirm it is the job site, then pass that postalCode as location. If address.postalCode is missing: ask once "What's the ZIP for the job?" Do not ask for city/state first. Name, street, and phone can wait until preview/book.

Use this when the user needs a home service outside the five dedicated find_* categories — such as house cleaning or deep cleaning, landscaping, lawn care or mowing, tree trimming, roofing or roof leak repair, gutter installation, pressure washing, junk removal, moving help, painting, or pest-adjacent cleanup — or when the service category is ambiguous. Prefer a 5-digit US ZIP for location (e.g. "22307", "94114"); never a street address, formattedAddress, or address1. Read-only; does not create a booking. Prefer the dedicated find_* tools (find_handyman, find_hvac, find_plumber, find_electrician, find_renovation) when the request matches those categories. Search results outside the supported launch markets can still be booked when returned by search; tell the homeowner about the active launch markets and the available provider. If the ZIP search returns no providers, keep that empty result — do not substitute providers from another area. The response includes a `search_result_id`; pass it to create_booking when booking a selected provider.
