Production cost estimate

Cost drivers and known quoted ranges; missing prices remain unknown.

Kind: production_cost_estimate
Availability: available
Registry cost category: one_call
Lifecycle stage IDs: mass_production_estimate

The cost category describes model work in the registry; it is not a manufacturing price or a monetary quote. Read maglev actions kinds --json for current availability and schemas.

What this does

Returns a draft for review against the project brief and supporting evidence. A completed action does not establish that a physical test, production gate or engineering review has passed.

Input

Send these fields inside the request’s input object. Use only facts you have, and keep unresolved requirements explicit. Optional fields with defaults can be omitted.

Field	Type	Required	Details
`bomSummary`	string	Yes	Min length 1. Max length 20000
`quantities`	integer[]	No	Min items 1. Max items 6. Default: [100,300]
`toolingExpected`	boolean	No

Request the action

Prepare action.json with kind: "production_cost_estimate" and an input object matching the schema above.

Replace PROJECT_ID with your saved project ID. Use a new idempotency key for new work and retain it for an identical retry.

maglev actions request PROJECT_ID --input action.json \
  --idempotency-key example-production-cost-estimate-001 --json

Read action.status, action.output, deliveries and any task in the response. Model actions can take several minutes. After a timeout, check saved actions before retrying. See request and recovery behavior.

Output

The schema below describes action.output.result. The saved action.output envelope also contains draft: true and a note. It can be null while an action is running or after a failure; check the status before reading the result. Null or missing facts are unknown; preserve source references and open questions.
