type values:
| Value | Behaviour |
|---|---|
standalone | Default. Tool renders as a sidebar panel, launched from the Pipeline tool launcher. Has read access to customers, products, quotes, and jobs, plus quotes.create. This is the right type for quoting tools that create a new quote rather than injecting into an existing one. |
quoting_extension | Tool integrates with an already-open quote modal. Launched from inside the quote UI rather than the tool launcher. Unlocks quotes.addLines — which appends lines directly into the active in-memory quote. Use this type when your tool is designed to add lines to a quote the user is currently editing. |
