• get_quote ~408 tokens

• get_skill ~181 tokens
  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.
• get_skill_sections ~186 tokens
  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.

  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.
• list_skills ~370 tokens
  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

  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

  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

  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.
