## Description

Stop guessing how many shots you have left before you reach for your camera. This MCP gives your AI client the ability to manage your film inventory and usage with precision. Instead of manual math, you can ask your agent to check your current roll status or figure out if you have enough film for a specific project. It handles the logistics of analog photography, from checking if a specific shot count fits within a roll's capacity to categorizing your usage levels. You can even plan ahead by calculating exactly how many rolls you need to buy for a planned session. It turns your AI into a reliable assistant for managing the technical constraints of film photography.

## Tools

### calculate_estimated_remaining_rolls
Predicts the number of full rolls you'll need based on your planned shot count.

### get_roll_status
Reports exactly how many shots are left and the percentage of the roll used.

### get_usage_tier
Categorizes your current film roll into a specific usage level.

### validate_roll_limits
Checks if a requested number of shots is actually possible given a roll's capacity.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I have a 36-shot roll and I've already taken 20 shots. How many are left?
```

**Response:** 
```
You have 16 shots remaining, which is approximately 55.56% of the roll used.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I'm planning to take 100 shots. I'm using 24-shot rolls and I've already used 10 shots on my current roll. How many more rolls do I need?
```

**Response:** 
```
You will need 4 more full rolls to complete your session of 100 shots.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is it possible to take 40 shots on a 36-shot roll?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, that is not possible as the requested shots exceed the roll capacity.
```
