Type-safe ASC credit computation

Invoke `calculate_asc_method_credit` to get your credit amount, knowing the result is validated by Pydantic models at runtime. If the output does not match expected types, your agent fails loudly instead of processing bad data. This prevents silent corruption in your tax reports. You want correctness here, not speed.

Validate regular credit eligibility

Use `calculate_regular_method_credit` to verify if your research spend qualifies for the regular tax credit. Because this is Pydantic-backed, you get immediate runtime errors if the input data fails validation. This is the safest way to ensure your agent does not hallucinate eligibility when the expenses simply are not there.

Identify optimal tax strategies

Execute `recommend_optimal_tax_strategy` to get a data-backed comparison of both credit methodologies. The tool returns a structured response that your agent can act on immediately. This keeps your tax strategy audit-ready. The math does not lie, and the validation ensures the data stays clean.
