What specific risks does the 'status verdict' identify during a check?

Blocking: a sanctions match, an RENA listing, or a suspended or missing licence where one is required. Review: something needs a human look, such as an inactive registry status, a licence restriction or a partial name match. The verdict helps you decide; it is not a guarantee or legal advice.

Which AI agents or platforms can I use this skill with?

Any agent that supports SKILL.md skills, such as Claude Code, Cursor or Codex CLI. Québec checks need remote MCP support. Other countries need an APIFY_TOKEN environment variable or an x402 wallet.

Does this skill work for businesses globally or only in North America?

While the skill supports general business lookups in the US, UK, and Canada, it offers specialized deep-dives for Québec, including RBQ licence status and environmental penalty tracking. Check the registry list for specific regional depth.

How does this differ from just asking a standard AI agent to research a company?

The skill makes your agent check official registry data instead of guessing from memory. Every answer names its sources and their extraction dates, so you can confirm it yourself.

Is the skill free? What do checks cost?

The skill is free. Québec contractor checks through the Tolca MCP server have a free daily quota. Beyond that, checks are paid per use: USD 0.05 per company or USD 0.10 per Québec contractor through Apify, or per call in USDC through x402.
