    Why it is in this group

    • The name "steel_ncr_generate" says "generate": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Generate a formal Nonconformance Report PDF: identification, description, the violated requirement, containment, root cause (prose or 5-Whys chain), disposition (accept-as-is/repair/rework/reject) with actions, and blank quality-review and sign-off blocks. Flags accept-as-is dispositions whose corrective action describes physical work. The disposition decision belongs to the responsible quality authority. Returns a download link that expires within ~48 hours. Nothing you submit is stored.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Add real Bluebeam-compatible annotation objects to a drawing PDF — counts, length/area measurements with live scales, RFI clouds, callouts — from a markups JSON you supply plus placement coordinates. Pass the PDF as an https URL or small base64; returns a marked PDF download link that expires within ~48 hours. Markups appear in Bluebeam Revu's Markups List. You decide placement; the tool guarantees the format. Nothing you submit is stored.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Generate a formal Request for Information PDF from structured fields — header, meta grid, subject, description, proposed solution, attachments, and a blank response block for the design team. You do the judgement (one issue per RFI, exact drawing references, a proposed path forward); the tool guarantees the format. Returns a download link that expires within ~48 hours. Nothing you submit is stored.
  • steel_rfq_generateGenerate a vendor-ready Request for Quotation (.xlsx) from structured takeoff line items — grouped by material, with vendor pricing columns, totals and standard terms.No findings

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Roll a member list (AISC designation, length in feet, piece count — up to 500 lines) into a bill-of-steel ledger: weight per line, total pounds and tons, piece and lineal-foot counts. Net weight only; unmatched designations are listed, not guessed. Published nominal values for estimating and orientation, not design guidance.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
