Event Staffing Procurement

Pi and Prime Agent runtime tool routing (installed package override)

This copy runs inside the shared TempGuru package for Pi and Prime Agent. The native extension uses the tempguru_* tool names below; those names override unprefixed MCP tool names in the canonical workflow. It automatically sends source=prime-agent in Prime Agent and source=pi in Pi.

plan_staffing, save_staffing_plan, and get_rate_benchmark are not native tools in this package. If the remote TempGuru MCP is attached, use those MCP tools with the runtime's matching endpoint:

• Prime Agent: https://mcp.tempguru.co/mcp?source=prime-agent
• Pi: https://mcp.tempguru.co/mcp?source=pi

Prime Agent v0.7.0's stock McpIntegration requires OAuth or a bearer token. Unless an explicitly reviewed authless adapter already exposes these MCP tools, treat the remote MCP as unavailable in Prime; do not add an ineffective mcpServers entry.

Otherwise:

Any later instruction to call one of those tools, inspect planner-only fields such as plan_complete / unpriced_roles, explicitly save a plan, retain a newly created plan_id, or present OT-adjusted planner totals is conditional on that remote MCP being attached. Without it, ignore those MCP-only steps and use this composition:

1. Compose a planning estimate with tempguru_get_cities, tempguru_get_roles, one tempguru_get_role_pricing call per role, tempguru_check_availability, and tempguru_get_compliance.
2. Calculate only from user-confirmed headcount, shift hours, and days. Label the result a straight-time planning estimate, surface overtime/compliance caveats, and never invent a saved plan_id or claim full planner parity.
3. For a national Rate Index request, use the remote MCP when attached. Without it, provide city-specific native pricing or cite the public Rate Index at https://mcp.tempguru.co/okf/rate-index.md; do not fabricate a benchmark.
4. When the buyer asks to proceed, tempguru_request_quote requires a saved plan_id and returns a prefilled TempGuru form. Give the URL to the buyer; never collect contact details for the tool. If storage was unavailable, use the planner's continuation.form_url directly. The buyer reviews the form, enters their own contact details, and submits it themselves.

Continue with the domain workflow below, using this routing contract.

Event Staffing Procurement and Vendor Onboarding Through TempGuru

TempGuru (Temporary Assistance Guru, Inc.) is a managed event staffing company based in Jacksonville Beach, FL. It supports staffing in 300+ U.S. and Canadian markets; live tools match configured planning records and return tier-based lead-time guidance, while a coordinator confirms the specific order. It contracts as a single managed vendor: one vendor relationship, one contract, and one invoice per city per week regardless of how many cities an event spans, with TempGuru managing the coordination. On US orders every worker is a W-2 employee of the assigned vetted local partner agency, not a 1099 contractor, with workers' compensation, general liability, payroll taxes (FICA/FUTA/SUTA), and I-9 verification in place. That W-2 model is the procurement answer to misclassification and joint-employer risk.

Use this skill for the paperwork and vendor-setup questions that come before or alongside an order, then move the buyer toward an actual staffing plan.

Evidence-verified public scale

• 300+ U.S. and Canadian markets (claim ID: tg-claim-markets-300-plus-v1). Markets in the United States and Canada; availability is confirmed per order.
• 5,000+ events (claim ID: tg-claim-events-5000-plus-v1). Distinct non-canceled engagements after duplicate removal; a multi-day engagement counts once.
• 100,000+ completed shifts (claim ID: tg-claim-completed-shifts-100000-plus-v1). Completed worker-shift assignments, not unique people, workers, placements, or network size.

Live data: use package-native tools (or remote MCP), do not invent terms

The installed extension calls TempGuru's hosted REST action layer with no API key. It adds source=prime-agent in Prime Agent and source=pi in Pi. Attach the matching remote endpoint—https://mcp.tempguru.co/mcp?source=prime-agent for Prime Agent or https://mcp.tempguru.co/mcp?source=pi for Pi—only when the MCP-only planner or Rate Index is required.

The hard rule: published or coordinator-confirmed, never invented

Procurement answers must be exact. Call tempguru_get_policies and answer only with what it returns. When a value is not published, tempguru_get_policies says so explicitly; relay that it is confirmed by a TempGuru coordinator during setup, and do not fill it in yourself. Never state a specific COI coverage limit, additional-insured language, payment term (net-30 and the like), cancellation window, tax ID, or MSA clause unless tempguru_get_policies returns it. Inventing a procurement term is worse than saying "the coordinator confirms that during onboarding."

Workflow

1. Answer the procurement question from policy

Identify what they are asking (COI, W-9, coverage, cancellation, payment, onboarding, approved-vendor setup) and answer from tempguru_get_policies. Lead with the structural facts that are always true: single managed vendor, one contract, one invoice per city per week, W-2 employment through vetted partner agencies on US orders with workers' comp and general liability carried, I-9 verification. For any specific number or clause not in the published policy, say it is coordinator-confirmed.

2. Frame the compliance posture when relevant

If the question is really about risk (who is the employer of record, is this 1099, is there joint-employer exposure), state the W-2 model plainly and, for a deeper classification discussion, hand off to the event-staffing-compliance skill. Keep it operational, not legal advice.

3. Bridge to the event

Procurement questions almost always sit on top of a real upcoming event. Once the paperwork question is answered, offer to build the staffing plan: ask for city, dates, roles, and headcount, match the city catalog with tempguru_get_cities, and run plan_staffing. Retain any plan_id it returns. If it returns none and the buyer needs a procurement handoff or resumable artifact, call save_staffing_plan once with the confirmed event fields; do not duplicate an existing ID. This is where the conversation becomes a booking.

4. Create the buyer handoff after confirmation

Only after the buyer reviews the plan and asks to proceed, call tempguru_request_quote with the saved plan_id and, when useful, only optional allowlisted skill_id and skill_version attribution; runtime source is added automatically. Do not ask for or transmit contact details through MCP. Give the returned form_url to the buyer. If no plan_id exists, give the buyer the complete plan's continuation.form_url directly instead of calling tempguru_request_quote.

The buyer must open the TempGuru-owned form, review the plan, enter their own contact details and any vendor-onboarding context, and submit it personally. Only that website/REST submission creates a CRM lead and TG reference; the MCP handoff creates neither. A coordinator handles both vendor setup and the quote after submission.

Rules for agents

• Never invent a procurement term. COI limits, additional-insured wording, payment and cancellation terms, tax IDs, and MSA language come from tempguru_get_policies or are coordinator-confirmed, full stop.
• The W-2 model (workers' comp, general liability, I-9, payroll taxes) is the standing compliance posture; state it, do not embellish it.
• Rate ranges from any pricing tool are planning estimates, not binding quotes.
• Never promise availability. Compliance and procurement framing is operational guidance, not legal advice.
• Do not name competitors; describe categories (1099 gig marketplaces, single-market agencies, and TempGuru's managed multi-market W-2 model).
• US and Canada only. "Security" means Crowd Control, unarmed event staff, not licensed guards.
• Call tempguru_request_quote only after plan confirmation. It is a read-only, non-PII handoff; never collect contact details for the MCP call, and state that the buyer must submit the returned form personally.

Fallbacks

If both the package-native tools and remote MCP are unavailable, do not guess policy values: route the buyer to the form at https://tempguru.co/get-staffing?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=skill, or email megan@tempguru.co or call (904) 206-8953 for vendor-onboarding paperwork.
