Direct answer

How should an AI receptionist handle an active plumbing leak call?

It should collect the service address, affected area, whether water is actively flowing, access details, contact information, and preferred timing. It should use approved safety wording and escalation rules without diagnosing the cause or guaranteeing an arrival.
