# Quote a Student profile summary call (free)

`POST /v1/tools/profile/quote`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.counselorai.app`
- URL: `https://api.counselorai.app/v1/tools/profile/quote`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Free pre-flight. Validates the input and returns the exact credit hold a real call would take at this account's price, without billing anything. An invalid input is still a 200: the body carries valid:false and the validation errors.

## Request body

- object
  - `studentName` string: The student this is about. Used in the output text.
  - `grade` string
  - `school` string
  - `major` string
  - `academics` string: Coursework, GPA, testing, academic trajectory.
  - `activities` string
  - `strengths` string: What the counselor has actually observed, not adjectives.
  - `challenges` string: What the student has had to work around.
  - `goals` string
  - `tags` string[]: Background categories. Same vocabulary the scholarship tool uses, so a profile feeds straight into it.
  - `notes` string: Anything else that should shape the output.

## Response `200`
