## Tools (5)

- `check_salary_threshold`: Check a UK job offer against the Skilled Worker visa salary thresholds and occupation going rates. Takes a job title (or SOC 2020 code), the annual salary, and the contracted weekly hours — hours matter, because going rates pro-rate. Returns a three-state verdict: eligible, not_eligible, or uncertain with the reason. Covers the standard Skilled Worker route only (not Health & Care or Global Business Mobility).
- `check_sponsor_license`: Check whether a company holds a UK or Netherlands work-visa sponsorship licence. The register lists official registered legal entity names, not brand, product, or trading names. If the user provides a brand name, product name, or website, first determine the company's registered legal name (via web search, the company's own website, or the relevant companies register) and pass that. Tolerates minor typos but not brand-vs-legal-name mismatches. Returns licence routes, ratings, locations and register dates. If results are ambiguous or none are found, refine the legal name and try again. For exploring or filtering many companies, use search_sponsors instead.
- `get_register_info`: Register statistics, data freshness, and terminology for the UK and Netherlands sponsor registers. Use this to explain what a licence, route, rating, or sponsor type means.
- `get_sponsor_details`: Full record for one organization by id: routes, ratings, locations and register dates (UK), or sponsor type and KvK number (NL). Optionally include register change history.
- `search_sponsors`: Exploratory list search of the sponsor register with optional filters (city/route for UK, sponsor type for NL). Returns a compact list with a total count. For checking one specific company, prefer check_sponsor_license.
