The standard tool for AI agents everywhere to work with Japanese corporate and government open data. Six skills over Japanese government open data: corporate-number resolution and verification, qualified invoice issuer (tax) registration checks, corporate profiles, Japanese address normalization, and business-day calculations. Every response embeds its data sources and retrieval timestamps. Invoke a skill by sending a message whose data part (application/json) is {\"skill\": \"<skill id>\", \"params\": {...}}; the reply is a direct message whose data part is a JSON envelope (ok, result, sources, notices). Business-level failures (e.g. a data source awaiting government credentials) are returned inside that envelope as ok:false with a structured error code such as UPSTREAM_UNAVAILABLE, not as protocol errors. Tool availability as of 2026-07-14 is stated per skill.
