GET /api/v1/fees?jurisdiction=surrey — fee catalog
GET /api/v1/calculate?fee=surrey-plan&construction_value_cad=25000 — one quoted component
POST /api/v1/bulk — {"requests":[{"fee":"surrey-plan","construction_value_cad":25000}]}, maximum 25

A good agent should:
1. Select a fee ID with exactly matching municipality, work type and project scope.
2. Provide the required parameter units exactly as documented.
3. Disclose amount_cad as one fee component ONLY, not a total cost.
4. Show official source_url and source_verified_on, noting publication date and special local alerts.
5. Return unknown/not supported rather than extrapolate an amount for a missing city or unverified fee.
6. Verify the current official municipal schedule before any binding financial decision.

No purchases, cryptocurrency payments, API charging, or agent marketplace listings are enabled in this prototype.

Paid agent endpoint (only when /api/v1/billing/status shows enabled): GET /api/v1/paid/calculate?fee=surrey-plan&construction_value_cad=25000; Authorization: Bearer <PRIVATE_API_KEY>. One valid successful response debits one of the 100 prepaid credits. The storefront is /credits.html. Purchases disabled until ledger and Stripe are tested.
