  "description": "Calculate break-even units from fixed cost and contribution per unit. Use it as a bounded preflight or analysis step inside an enterprise agent workflow before data, policy, integration, security, or commercial decisions reach production. Returns deterministic machine-readable JSON for $0.003 USDC via x402 on Base. Execution is first-party, local-only, stateless, memory-only, and has no paid upstream or input retention. Results are advisory; the caller remains responsible for authorization and production controls.",
