Can I see if a background check has any issues through the agent?

Yes! Use the `get_report_details` tool. The agent will return the current status. If the status is 'Consider', it means some records were found that require your review.

How do I invite a new candidate to start their check?

First, use `create_new_candidate` to add them to your account, then use `start_background_check` with the appropriate package name to trigger the invitation email.

Where do I find my Checkr API Secret Key?

Log in to your Checkr dashboard and navigate to **Settings -> API**. You can generate and copy your Secret Key from the 'API Keys' section.
