The tool-description rules found nothing in these descriptions. They look for instructions aimed at a model and for hidden characters; they cannot see what a tool does when it runs.

• lookup_tariff

  Look up base Canadian duty rates for an HS/tariff number (e.g. '0101.21.00.00'), plus any tracked surtax/trade-measure orders whose HS coverage might overlap it. as_of defaults to today (YYYY-MM-DD). This returns EVERY treatment code on the tariff item, most of which do not apply to any one shipment — use resolve_duty with a country of origin to get the one that actually applies to a specific import. Some rows carry treatment_label: null; a null is a gap in this service's own data, not a signal about what the treatment is — check unlabeled_treatment_codes and never call one an FTA or infer its

• resolve_duty

  Estimate the total Canadian import duty for an HS code and country of origin, for costing. Returns a single rate, or a low/mid/high RANGE when surtax orders may or may not stack — pick low/mid/high as your risk profile. Covers base duty + any surtax layers. Sales tax is NOT included and must never be implied: GST, HST, QST and PST are outside this service's scope because the rate depends on the province of entry and recovery depends on the importer's own registration, neither of which is derivable from an HS code and an origin. Every response carries sales_tax.included: false - tell the user s

• list_trade_measures

  List tracked surtax / remission / SIMA orders. status one of 'in_force' | 'not_yet_in_force' | 'repealed'. instrument_type one of 'surtax_order' | 'surtax_remission_order' | 'sima_order' | 'other'.

• get_measure_detail

  Full detail for one trade measure: every date (registration, Gazette publication, in-force, last-amended, repeal), its amendment history, and its best-effort HS-code coverage.

• recent_changes

  What changed since a given date (YYYY-MM-DD, default today): newly-touched trade measures and newly-detected amendments. Good for a daily 'what did the government change today' digest.
