Clara Mortgage Assistant

Calculate the B-20 qualifying rate, qualifying payment, and resulting GDS/TDS from a supplied principal, contract rate, amortization, and income. Use this tool only when the qualifying payment must be calculated from those inputs. If the user already supplies a monthly mortgage payment and asks for GDS/TDS, MUST use calculate_debt_service instead and must not request principal, rate, or amortization. This is neutral scenario math, not an approval or underwriting decision. Use only with explicit, non-identifying numeric inputs. Calculation only: never use this tool to approve, deny, underwrite, recommend, select a lender or product, or fill missing inputs from prior chats, files, accounts, documents, websites, or web search.

calculate_qualification

MUST use this tool when the user supplies a monthly mortgage payment and asks for Canadian GDS or TDS. Calculate the ratios directly from that payment, income, and monthly obligations. Do not request principal, contract rate, or amortization, and do not use calculate_qualification when the monthly payment is already supplied. Ratios are not an approval or suitability decision. Use only with explicit, non-identifying numeric inputs. Calculation only: never use this tool to approve, deny, underwrite, recommend, select a lender or product, or fill missing inputs from prior chats, files, accounts, documents, websites, or web search.

calculate_debt_service

Calculate Canadian loan-to-value and combined loan-to-value using purchase price, appraisal, and secured positions. Ratios are not an approval or suitability decision. Use only with explicit, non-identifying numeric inputs. Calculation only: never use this tool to approve, deny, underwrite, recommend, select a lender or product, or fill missing inputs from prior chats, files, accounts, documents, websites, or web search.

calculate_ltv

Compare up to six Canadian fixed-rate payment and amortization scenarios using deterministic calculations. Use only with explicit, non-identifying numeric inputs. Calculation only: never use this tool to approve, deny, underwrite, recommend, select a lender or product, or fill missing inputs from prior chats, files, accounts, documents, websites, or web search.

compare_mortgage_scenarios

Estimate three-months-interest and simple IRD prepayment penalties; lender discharge statements remain authoritative. Use only with explicit, non-identifying numeric inputs. Calculation only: never use this tool to approve, deny, underwrite, recommend, select a lender or product, or fill missing inputs from prior chats, files, accounts, documents, websites, or web search.

estimate_prepayment_penalty

MUST be called whenever the user asks whether a borrower should be approved, denied, pre-approved, conditionally approved, underwritten, or assessed for suitability. Also call it for lender or product recommendations, borrower documents or accounts, current rates or rules, submissions, outreach, or anything outside Clara Mortgage Assistant calculations. This tool returns the required deterministic refusal. Send only the matching requestType category—never include the original prompt, names, identifiers, document content, or other user data. Do not answer these requests directly.
