## Tools (as reported by the server, not verified)

- `start`: Call this first for any tax, VAT/GST, payroll or filing question about a country or US state, such as "how much tax will I pay in Spain", "do I need to register for VAT", "when is my tax return due", "is this deductible", "how is a freelancer or a company taxed in Germany", "sales tax in Texas" or "
- `search\_skills`: Find the skill for a specific tax topic by keyword: a deduction, form, regime or rule such as 'home office deduction', 'Schedule C', 'reverse charge', 'crypto capital gains' or 'Beckham regime'. Optionally limit to one jurisdiction or domain. Returns matching skill slugs to open with get\_skill. Set
- `get\_skill`: Open a skill by slug \(from start, search\_skills or search\_rules\) to answer the user's question. Returns the skill's rules and method, its quality tier, the named accountant where one reviewed it, a \`section\_index\` of sections not inlined, and a provenance footer to keep with the answer.
- `search\_rules`: Look up tax rates, thresholds and rules in one or many jurisdictions, such as 'VAT rates in MT, IE and DE', 'income tax brackets for 2025' or 'rules mentioning reverse charge'. Returns a bundled markdown rule set plus each jurisdiction's official source \(\`official\_source\`\). For one specific figure i
- `list\_skills`: Browse the skills for one jurisdiction or domain \(for example every skill for 'MT', or every 'payroll' skill\), each with its quality tier and verification status. For a specific topic, search\_skills is quicker. Filter by jurisdiction, domain or role \('foundation' \| 'compute' \| 'orchestrator' \| 'refe
- `get\_skill\_sections`: Follow-up to get\_skill: fetch sections it listed in \`section\_index\` as not inlined \(for example a supplier-pattern library\). Pass \`section\_index\` for one section, or omit it to get every section with its heading and markdown.
- `get\_deadlines`: Filing and payment deadlines for a country or US state: 'when is my tax return due', 'when do I file VAT', 'when is the next instalment'. Returns upcoming dates and recurring filing rhythms \(monthly VAT, quarterly instalments\) from the OpenAccountants tax calendar. Signed-in users with a saved home
- `list\_rule\_facets`: Helper for search\_rules: lists the values you can filter on \(live jurisdictions, domains, roles, rule kinds, statuses, tax years, a sample of topics\) and the defaults. Takes no arguments. Use it when unsure of a filter value rather than guessing.
- `start\_help`: Call when the user has no tax question yet and opens with 'what can you do?', 'how can you help me?' or 'where do I start?'. Takes no arguments. Returns the two scoping questions plus the available intents and jurisdictions; for a signed-in approved accountant, a short personal \`orientation\` briefin
- `list\_jurisdictions`: Answers 'which countries do you cover?' or 'what is there for \[country\]?'. Returns every jurisdiction with published skills \(countries as ISO 2, US states as US-XX, Canadian provinces\) with skill counts, accountant-reviewed counts and the named lead accountant where there is one.
- `list\_verifiers`: Answers 'who reviewed this?' or 'which accountants are behind this?'. Returns the named licensed accountants who have signed off on OpenAccountants jurisdictions, with their credentials and the jurisdictions they cover.
- `get\_quote`: Call only when the user asks what OpenAccountants charges, requests a quote, or asks whether their current fee is fair. Returns the same published plans, service prices, limits, market exceptions and hourly rate as the website, plus the engagement process and contact details. Match the client's scop
- `validate\_vat\_number`: Check live whether an EU VAT number is valid and registered, for example before applying a B2B reverse charge, zero-rating an intra-EU sale or onboarding a supplier. Queries the European Commission's VIES registry and returns the verdict plus the registered business name and address where the author
- `check\_audit\_exemption`: Answers 'does my company need an audit?' for a private limited company in Malta \(MT, Article 185\(2\) micro thresholds\) or the UK \(GB, small-company thresholds before and after 6 April 2025\). A deterministic check of turnover, balance sheet total and average employees. Returns 'exempt' \| 'review' \| 'a
- `share\_with\_openaccountants`: Only when the user asks: sends their feedback, or their request for a person to check or do the work, to OpenAccountants. Two modes. \(1\) \`note\`: an anonymized note about the guidance \(a gap, a workaround you needed, or via \`skill\_slug\` a bug in a specific skill\). Anonymize hard: no names, amounts, o
