### Tool changes

- 2026-10-01 `check_counterparty_nl` changed (description)
  - before: Check a Dutch or EU counterparty against official sources before your own next step, such as onboarding a supplier, paying an invoice or signing an order. Give the KvK number, the company name and the EU VAT number as your document states them. Returns verdicts, not register data: whether the KvK number has an active registration, whether the name matches a registered name, whether the VAT number is valid in VIES and whether its VIES name matches the register, EU sanctions list candidates, open questions and a check_id. Read-only, no key, no cost. AstraNL does not search the Dutch register by name; look a number up at kvk.nl. When a colleague or auditor must verify it later, call record_counterparty_check with the check_id. It does not prove who may sign for the company, who owns a bank account, solvency or reliability.
  - after: Check a Dutch or EU counterparty against official sources before your own next step, such as onboarding a supplier, paying an invoice or signing an order. Give the KvK number, the company name and the EU VAT number as your document states them. Returns verdicts, not register data: whether the KvK number has an active registration, whether the name matches a registered name, whether the VAT number is valid in VIES and whether its VIES name matches the register, EU sanctions list candidates, whether an insolvency case is published under the KvK number in the Dutch insolvency register, open questions and a check_id. Read-only, no key, no cost. AstraNL does not search the Dutch register by name; look a number up at kvk.nl. When a colleague or auditor must verify it later, call record_counterparty_check with the check_id. It does not prove who may sign for the company, who owns a bank account, solvency or reliability.

## Tools (3)

- `check_counterparty_nl`: Check a Dutch or EU counterparty against official sources before your own next step, such as onboarding a supplier, paying an invoice or signing an order. Give the KvK number, the company name and the EU VAT number as your document states them. Returns verdicts, not register data: whether the KvK number has an active registration, whether the name matches a registered name, whether the VAT number is valid in VIES and whether its VIES name matches the register, EU sanctions list candidates, whether an insolvency case is published under the KvK number in the Dutch insolvency register, open questions and a check_id. Read-only, no key, no cost. AstraNL does not search the Dutch register by name; look a number up at kvk.nl. When a colleague or auditor must verify it later, call record_counterparty_check with the check_id. It does not prove who may sign for the company, who owns a bank account, solvency or reliability.
- `record_counterparty_check`: Make a result of check_counterparty_nl verifiable by others: records its digest in the AstraNL signed public log and returns a reference that a colleague, approver or auditor can check later with verify_astranl, without trusting AstraNL. Works only for a check AstraNL produced in the last 48 hours. The public record holds no name, number or address of the checked party. Calling it again returns the same reference.
- `verify_astranl`: Verify any AstraNL reference without a key. Returns two separate layers: integrity (payload hash, Ed25519 signature, Merkle inclusion, recomputed live) and claim (what exactly is attested, by whom, from which source, when, under which method, with which validity limits and current status VALID/EXPIRED/REVOKED/UNKNOWN). Integrity never implies the claim is true for your purpose; you apply your own acceptance rules. Tells you when to re-verify and how to consume a VALID receipt for a next action. Read-only, deterministic, no model in the path.
