WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why taxpulse needs a policy

TaxPulse is a tax information lookup and synthesis tool. While the server itself involves financial transactions (paying per query via x402 USDC), the tool itself only retrieves, compares, and summarizes tax data — it does not move money, create financial obligations, execute code, or modify data. The end-user pays the server for access, but the tool itself is a Read operation.

From the tool's definition Tool provides tax intelligence queries: 'state', 'country', 'compare', 'nomad' endpoints that retrieve and synthesize tax information.
