Key Takeaways
- A tool-library hold list is members who reserved that SKU at that shed — not everyone who ever liked the neighborhood page.
- “Ready at the window” is a second purpose. Do not reuse the waitlist blast.
- Free is 1 device, 300 SMS lifetime, and 300 contacts. Developer is 25,000 SMS per year. Platform price is devices plus send volume.
- Member-app OTP stays off the shed SIM.
- Idempotency is tool-id plus member-id — overdue returns re-queue the same hold.
Summary
Scenario 1451 is marketplace contact lists for a neighborhood tool library — not craft-fair booths, not community-garden plots, not CSA pickup, not makerspace laser slots. Waitlist is a queue. Window-ready is the join. Service pricing is devices plus SMS send volume. You bring the phones and operator credit. Free is 1 device, 300 SMS lifetime, and 300 contacts.
Starter allows 2 devices: shed dual-SIM plus a spare. Uncapped platform volume is not unlimited carrier SMS. Confirm payloads in Developer Center.

tool + member — overdue re-queues once
A tool hold is not a maker dump
Ready copy names the SKU and pickup window. Volunteer drives live elsewhere. Mixing them is how a member STOPs the week the circular saw they waited on actually hits the shelf.
If marketing fires “your hold” when staff tags the return, the member thinks the saw is on the counter. Join window-ready. Suppress return-scan-to-buyer templates.
Tool-library list matrix
| Event | SMS | Failure |
|---|---|---|
| Return scan | None or queue move | “Ready” before staff shelves it |
| Window-ready | SKU + hours | Donation stuffed in |
| No-show expire | Once, then next member | Two ready texts to the same person |
| Member OTP | Auth pool | OTP on the shed radio |
Ready-for-pickup vs waitlist
Persist tool-id plus member-id. DLR. MCP wraps REST only.
Category and STOP
The SMS is that hold. A newsletter is marketing. FTC business guidance is not a reason to hide pickup hours behind a volunteer pitch.
Devices, volume, and airtime
Saturday returns spike. We meter devices and platform sends. Free (1/300/300) is one shed proof.
Shed operations
Charge the desk chassis before open. Setup, Downloads, pricing.
Decision guide
Ship when notice joins window-ready. Delay if return-scan texts “ready.” Not a CodeCanyon tool-library pack.
Hold checklist
- Tool plus member idempotency.
- Return-scan silent as ready.
- Donation off ready purpose.
- OTP off shed SIM.
- Developer Center fields confirmed.
