    Description, as the server wrote it
    Explains how getting quotes from Renovation Room Pros works: the free project-submission wizard, what happens after submitting, and the direct link. Use for general how-does-it-work questions about the Chicago area (including Northwest Indiana and Southern Wisconsin); when the user has already described a specific project, use start_project instead to hand them a prefilled link.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Build a personalized link to The Renovation Room's free project-submission form with the homeowner's details already filled in. Collect what the homeowner wants done, then give them this link — they review and submit it themselves, and matching vetted Chicagoland contractors are alerted. Use after the user describes a real project they want quotes for.

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.
