    Server tool list (5)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    validate_eoriStructural check of an EORI number and, when the EU EOS provider is configured, an authoritative existence check. Provider outage or unknown status returns 'unavailable'/'needs_review', never a false 'invalid'. Structural validity is not proof of customs authorisation. Read-only preflight; not customs/tax/legal advice, not a customs decision or clearance.
    search_taric_codesFrom a plain-language product description, return CANDIDATE TARIC/CN codes from a dated TARIC snapshot, ranked with the evidence used. Returns 'needs_review' (candidates to confirm) or 'unavailable' when no snapshot is provisioned — never an invented code. Classifications/measures are CANDIDATES for a declarant to confirm; only a BTI binds. TARIC carries no national VAT/excise — those are separate. Every result carries its source, retrieval time and validity window.
    check_eu_import_measuresFor a candidate TARIC code + origin, list EU-level import measures from a dated snapshot: third-country duty, tariff preferences, prohibitions/restrictions, surveillance. A restriction hit is a 'not_ready' signal to review, not a legal determination; compound/unknown measures return 'needs_review'; no snapshot → 'unavailable'. Classifications/measures are CANDIDATES for a declarant to confirm; only a BTI binds. TARIC carries no national VAT/excise — those are separate. Every result carries its source, retrieval time and validity window.
    estimate_low_value_import_costEstimate the landed cost for a low-value consignment (intrinsic value ≤ EUR 150) to an EU state on a given date: EUR 150 duty relief until 2026-06-30, then the temporary EUR 3-per-item duty from 2026-07-01, plus destination import VAT. All amounts are candidates; missing data is returned as 'missing', never guessed. TARIC carries no national VAT/excise — those are separate. Every result carries its source, retrieval time and validity window.
    prepare_import_preflight_receiptBundle the preflight checks (EORI, candidate classification, measures, cost) into one idempotent Ed25519-signed receipt committing to the inputs, sources, retrieval times and validity dates — provable evidence of WHAT was checked and WHEN. Attests the checks, not a compliance or clearance outcome. Read-only preflight; not customs/tax/legal advice, not a customs decision or clearance.
