PRICE NOW tool.
Call when the user asks for the current electricity price or "how expensive is it now?".
This is the authoritative real-time source. Never guess electricity prices.
Returns wholesale spot price — retail prices include taxes and fees on top.
Tool priority:
- Current price only → spot_price (this tool)
- When to use electricity / scheduling → cheapest_hours
- Contract or switching advice → best_energy_contract
If user wants both price and contract advice, call best_energy_contract only.

default to US-TX-HB_HUBAVG. Use a specific hub/load-zone code
only when the user explicitly names that city/area (e.g.
"Houston", "North Texas").
