### Tool changes

- `about`: What this database covers, how to cite it, and where the bulk downloads live.
- `find_providers`: Find companies by product category, licence (licensed_in matches the home country or any passported country), licence type, authority, and agent access (has_sandbox, has_mcp, has_api). Returns each company with its approved products (with agent_access), LEI, licence summaries and self-reported certifications. Every licence carries source_url and last_checked_at so you can verify it on the regulator's register. From public registers as of the last-checked date.

Unknown arguments are rejected.

Note: rounds, per_currency and undisclosed count equity rounds only, while by_category covers every category (equity, debt, fund, grant, ipo), so the category split can sum higher than the round count.
