## Description

Imagine you're planning a cross-country move or managing a fleet of delivery trucks. Right now, you're probably jumping between maps, opening separate toll calculators, and trying to guess fuel costs based on vehicle size. It's a mess of tabs and manual math. This Connector changes that by giving your AI agent a direct line to TollGuru's data. Instead of hunting for numbers, you just ask your agent for the total cost of a route from Chicago to Miami for a 5-axle truck. The agent does the heavy lifting, pulling together toll fees, fuel estimates, and vehicle-specific pricing in one go. It handles the nuances like tag vs. cash prices and specific bridge fees so you don't have to. Because Vinkius hosts this Connector, you can plug it into your favorite client and turn your AI into a travel cost analyst. You stop guessing and start knowing your exact overhead before the wheels even turn.

What's the cheapest way to get from SF to LA without paying tolls?
```

**Response:** 
```
I've analyzed the routes between San Francisco and Los Angeles.

*   **Option 2 (Fastest):** Taking the coastal route. This has approximately $15 in bridge tolls but offers a more direct path.

Would you like me to calculate the fuel costs for the I-5 route?
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I have a GPS track from a delivery run. Can you tell me what the tolls were?
```

**Response:** 
```
I've processed your GPS track data. 

**Trip Summary:**
*   **Total Tolls Identified:** $32.40
*   **Major Toll Points:** 
    *   Holland Tunnel
    *   NJ Turnpike
    *   George Washington Bridge

I've also matched these against your expected route to see if there were any unexpected surcharges.
