    Why it is in this group

    • The name "purchase_credits" says "purchase": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Starts a credit purchase: creates a Stripe checkout session for the chosen package and returns a payment URL to present to the user. Does NOT charge immediately and does NOT add credits until the user completes payment — credits are then added automatically. Requires authentication. Packages: credits_100, credits_500, credits_2000, credits_10000 (see get_config for current prices).

      The server marks "search_entities" as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false), and its words say it reads.

      Matched text

      annotations: {"readOnlyHint":false,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":false,"openWorldHint":true}; The name "search_entities" says "search": a word for reading.

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Discover candidate businesses when the exact entity is UNKNOWN — a listing/discovery tool, NOT a verification tool. Use only when the user wants to browse or list multiple companies matching a partial or fuzzy name, or does not yet know which specific entity they mean. If the user can name one specific company they want to confirm or check, use verify_business instead (ask them for the name first if needed). Costs 2 credits per jurisdiction searched and requires authentication.

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Confirm a specific, named business in one jurisdiction — the PRIMARY tool whenever the user wants to verify, check, confirm, or look up a company's existence, status, good standing, or details (e.g. "verify Acme LLC in Delaware", "is Acme registered in FL?", "I need to verify a company in Delaware"). If the user has verification intent but has not given the exact company name, ASK them for the name and use THIS tool — do NOT fall back to search_entities. Two tiers: quick (1 credit) returns existence + status + good-standing. Deep (15 credits, or 25 with force_refresh) adds entity type, formation date, registered agent, officers, principal address, and filing history. Deep is available in a subset of jurisdictions; requesting deep where unavailable returns a quick result with a reason. Requires authentication. A completed verification deducts credits whether or not the business is found — a confirmed no-match is a result. Calls that cannot produce an answer (source unavailable or timed out) are refunded.

  • check_job_statusPoll a long-running (async) verification job created by verify_business.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "check_job_status" says "status": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Poll a long-running (async) verification job created by verify_business. Returns the full verification result once complete, a failure reason if it failed, or a "still processing" status to poll again. Free — no credits charged — but requires authentication. Pass the job_id from the verify_business async response.

    Why it is in this group

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Returns your BizVerify account summary: email and verification status, plan, current credit balance, member-since date, and your active and revoked API keys. Free and read-only; requires authentication. Use it to check your remaining credit balance before running paid verifications.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_config" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Returns BizVerify's public configuration as readable text: active US and international jurisdictions, per-operation credit costs, the free-tier allowance, credit packages with pricing, feature flags, and documentation/legal links. Free and requires no authentication. Call this first to discover what jurisdictions are supported and what each operation costs before verifying.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_entity" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Fetch a previously verified business entity from BizVerify's cache by its ID — returns name, jurisdiction, status, type, good-standing, formation date, registered agent, and the number of snapshots on record. Free and read-only; does NOT fetch a fresh live result (use verify_business with force_refresh for live data). Requires authentication. Pass an entity_id returned by a prior verify_business or search_entities call.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_entity_history" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Returns the chronological verification snapshots recorded for an entity — each with a timestamp, name, and status — newest first, with pagination. Costs 5 credits and requires authentication. Use it to see how a company's status or details have changed over time.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_jurisdictions" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Lists every registered jurisdiction with its code, active/inactive status, and supported capabilities — search, entity lookup, quick verification, and deep verification. Free and requires no authentication. Use it to confirm a state or country is supported and which verification tiers it offers before calling verify_business or search_entities.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
