  "instructions": "vote.direct runs online elections and surveys for HOAs, condos, clubs and boards. Open to anyone: read-only facts (get_price_quote, get_state_hoa_rules, compare_platforms, get_review_record, get_platform_overview, get_governance_center_overview), answered from the same constants the product bills against, and start_election_draft, which builds a complete election for a person with no account and returns the link where they claim it. The account tools (list_elections, get_election, create_election_draft, add_voters, create_survey, publish_election) work inside the person's own account: the first call asks them to sign in to vote.direct and approve this app (OAuth), or the app can send their agent key (Authorization: Bearer vd_agent_..., made at https://vote.direct/settings/agents). Publishing an election needs the person's own permission. Nothing here sends a message to a voter. State-rule answers are stored summaries, not legal advice; ask the person for any date, seat count or candidate you do not know rather than guessing.",
