 # PHASE 4 — PAID DEPTH (only with my explicit go-ahead)
 
 When I want qualification evidence and/or reachable contacts:
-1. Quote first: `dry_run: true` with the exact flags I asked for

-   `channels`, `max_cost`) and tell me the worst-case cost in plain money.

+   The two tools take DIFFERENT flags — passing the wrong one is rejected
+   outright (`additionalProperties: false`):

+     `title_gate`, `channels`, `max_cost`. **No `min_ai_score`.**
+   - `leadbay_find_new_leads`: the same, PLUS `min_ai_score` and `count`.
 2. On my go-ahead, prefer feeding the free preview's deliveries to
    `leadbay_qualify_leads` (`prior_deliveries: {job_id}`) — it only spends on
    companies already known to match. Run a fresh `qualify: true` search
-   instead when I asked for more than the preview delivered.
+   instead when I asked for more than the preview delivered. Paid

 3. While the job runs, poll with `leadbay_lead_job_status`
    (`wait_seconds: 60`); report progress, not silence.

 | 43 | **Enrichment stays active until done (no reprompt)** — the core of product#3866: after the user authorizes a paid enrichment, the agent launches via `leadbay_enrich_titles` (which returns `mode:"launched"` immediately — the job runs async), then STAYS ACTIVE in the same turn: it polls `leadbay_bulk_enrich_status` in a loop until done (`all_done`, or the resolvable set plateaus), and reports the completed enrichment (which contacts got emails/phones, counts, refreshed quota via `leadbay_account_status`) on its own — WITHOUT the user having to ask "is it done yet?". Distinct from Workflow 34 (multi-turn campaign builder, where the user *explicitly* says "wait for enrichment to finish" in turn 3); here it is a SINGLE turn and the stay-active behavior must be automatic. | `leadbay_enrich_titles` | "Pull my current leads and enrich their emails — get me the results in this same reply" |
 | 44 | **Pull leads offers "Enrich top leads"** — product#3875: after a `leadbay_pull_leads` on a non-empty batch, the deterministic `next_steps` surfaces an **Enrich top leads** option at position 2 (right after the Triage-board artifact offer) so the discovery→outreach bridge is one click away. It routes to `leadbay_enrich_titles` via the NO-SPEND preview path — previews volume + channels first, spends nothing until the user confirms — so a plain "show me my leads" never triggers an unprompted paid reveal (the #42 consent gate holds). | `leadbay_pull_leads`, `leadbay_enrich_titles` | "Show me my top leads for today" |
 | 45 | **Telemetry enable/disable/status** — product#3879: an in-product control to opt out of / into product-usage telemetry, or check the current setting. `leadbay_set_telemetry` (its `action` argument is `enable`, `disable`, or `status`; default `status`) reads/writes a per-user preference stored on the Leadbay account (`GET /users/me` → `telemetry_enabled`; `POST /users/telemetry`). Telemetry stays ON by default (opt-out). The hosted/web connector honors the flag per-request (a disabled user's events are suppressed). A local/stdio install decides telemetry at startup from `LEADBAY_TELEMETRY_ENABLED` and does not read the account flag, so local opt-out also needs that env var — the tool's copy says so rather than promising local opt-out. | `leadbay_set_telemetry` | "Turn off telemetry — I don't want my usage tracked" |
-<<<<<<< HEAD
-| 46 | **Net-new lead delivery (one ask → qualified, contactable leads)** — "find me 10 gyms around Dallas that would buy our flooring, with someone I can call". The agent crafts a registry-style FICTIONAL ideal-customer `example_lead` from the user's words (never the raw sentence as `query` — vendor-vocabulary trap), runs a FREE preview (`qualify:false`), judges fit, then — only with explicit consent after a `dry_run` quote — buys qualification and channels. Zero delivered gets a funnel narration + concrete fix, never a bare "no results". Backend: `POST /1.6/mcp/search` job. | `leadbay_new_leads` | "Find me 10 gyms around Dallas that would buy our modular flooring, with someone I can call" |
-| 47 | **Batch qualify + right contact on known companies** — "here are 60 restaurant websites from my sweep — which fit, and who's the owner?". `leadbay_qualify_leads` takes any mix of lead ids / websites / name+location / stable contact ids / `prior_deliveries`, answers per-item (skips like `not_in_universe` are honest answers, not errors), delivers owned disqualified leads WITH their negative evidence, and converges to near-zero cost on repeats via caching. Backend: `POST /1.6/mcp/qualify` job. | `leadbay_qualify_leads` | "Vet these companies from my spreadsheet against our criteria and get me the right contact at each" |
-| 48 | **Lead-delivery job polling** — a `leadbay_find_new_leads` / `leadbay_qualify_leads` run that outlives its poll window hands back a `job_id`; `leadbay_lead_job_status` re-reads the cumulative snapshot (state, funnel, items, spend) and block-waits with `wait_seconds` when the user asked to wait. | `leadbay_lead_job_status` | "Any results yet from that lead search?" |
-=======
 | 46 | **Consent-gated problem report** — product#3943: the user explicitly asks for a Leadbay problem to be reported. `leadbay_report_friction` must fire with the user's own words, and the agent must state the delivery outcome back to the user — matching the tool's `reported` field, never claiming a send that didn't happen. The underdeliver guard: an agent that treats the request as ordinary chatter and never reports is failing the user. | `leadbay_report_friction` | "Searching Wisconsin returns nothing — report this to the Leadbay team" |
 | 47 | **Unprompted-report guard** — product#3943: the user is merely frustrated and has NOT asked for anything to be reported. `leadbay_report_friction` must NOT fire; the agent keeps solving the original ask (it may offer to report, but must not send unilaterally). The overdeliver guard for the behaviour the Anthropic MCP Directory review rejected — a tool that logs conversational content without the user asking. | *(none — must not fire)* | "Ugh, this never finds what I'm looking for. Show me today's leads." |
