Validate Addresses for Pydantic AI

`validate_tax_address` requires a strict JSON payload, which is perfect for Pydantic. If the API returns unexpected data—say, an invalid ZIP format—the agent fails loudly with a validation error. No silent corruption. This means your workflow knows immediately when tax input data is wrong. It forces you to fix the source before your agent moves on.

Calculate Tax Liability with Pydantic AI

You send order details, and `calculate_sales_tax` returns a structured result that Pydantic expects. If the rate calculation is missing a field or uses an old format, your agent throws a clear error. It's type-safe money stuff. This level of validation prevents bad tax numbers from ever reaching your final records.

Check Tax Rates with Pydantic AI

`get_tax_rates` retrieves rates for a specific ZIP code. The data returned must fit the expected schema, or the agent stops and tells you why it's bad. It doesn't guess or hallucinate fields. This strict process guarantees that every rate number your system uses is properly formatted and verifiable.
