Qualify a sales lead and determine urgency tier (hot/warm/nurture). Returns a score, recommended actions, and routing decision.
AI agents call qualify_lead to retrieve information from Merlin Energy without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool analyzes input data about a sales lead and returns scoring/classification results. It reads and evaluates information to produce recommendations but does not appear to write, modify, or commit any external data. The output is informational (score, actions, routing decision), making this primarily a Read/analysis operation. Severity is low as misuse would at worst result in incorrect lead prioritization.
