# Repair Scope Change Request Assistant AI Agent Connect

> Repair Scope Change Request Assistant handles the heavy lifting when project realities drift from the original agreement. It helps you identify if a new issue is a formal change, checks if you can actually afford it, and sets the necessary deadlines to keep work moving. Your AI client uses these tools to draft factual, ready-to-send documentation for project stakeholders.

## Description

When you're on a job site or managing a build, unexpected issues pop up constantly. A cracked foundation or a broken pipe isn't just a nuisance; it's a potential contract dispute if not handled correctly. This MCP gives your AI agent the specific logic needed to manage these deviations without the guesswork. Instead of just chatting about a problem, your agent can now verify if a discovery qualifies as a formal scope change. It looks at your remaining budget to see if the fix is even possible under current constraints. It also calculates exactly how much time you have to make a decision before the project stalls. Once the data is gathered, the MCP pulls everything together into a professional document. You stop arguing about what was in the contract and start presenting clear, data-backed requests for approval.

## Tools

### analyze_scope_discrepancy
This tool determines if a newly discovered issue actually counts as a change from your original agreement.

### calculate_deadline
Use this to find the specific date a decision is required to keep the project on schedule.

### generate_scr_draft
This tool pulls all your findings into a professional, factual request for approval.

### validate_budget_impact
This tool checks if a proposed change stays within your project's financial limits.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I found a broken pipe that wasn't in the original plumbing scope. The repair quote is $500. My budget cap is $2000 and I've already spent $1200. What should I do?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total projected cost is $1700, which is within your $2000 budget cap. You should proceed with the generate_scr_draft tool to formalize the request for approval.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
The foundation is cracked, which is a major issue. The quote is $5000. My remaining budget is $2000 and the cap is $5000. Is this a problem?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, this is a critical issue. The total projected cost of $7000 exceeds your $5000 budget cap by $2000.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I need to draft a change request for a new electrical panel. The quote is $1200. The original scope was just wiring. The urgency is high.
```

**Response:** 
```
I will use analyze_scope_discrepancy to confirm the change, calculate_deadline to set a 24-hour response window, and then generate_scr_draft to create the formal document.
```
