Create a quote
Create a quote for services at a location, as a draft.
MCP tool servicetrade_write → create_quote
write Confirm
Returns the new quote with its number and status. A draft quote is not sent to the customer; use submit_quote for that. Prices come from the contract and line items in ServiceTrade. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
