AI agents call get_canonical_obligations to retrieve information from Velvoite — EU Financial Regulatory Compliance without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though get_canonical_obligations only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Get deduplicated canonical obligations with enforcement intelligence. Returns one obligation per unique legal requirement per actor role. Each includes compliance difficulty, guidance, and enforcement metrics. Use this instead of get_obligations when you want a clean, deduplicated view of what a regulated entity must comply with, enriched with enforcement risk data. Args: regulation: Filter by regulation code (e.g. 'dora', 'mica', 'aml'). actor_role: Comma-separated actor roles (e.g. 'credit_institution,significant_institution'). entity_type: Filter by entity type code (e.g. 'credit_institution'). compliance_difficulty: Filter by difficulty: 'low', 'medium', 'high', 'critical'. min_enforcement_count: Only return obligations with at least this many enforcement actions. sort: Sort order. Options: 'enforcement_count_desc' (default), 'compliance_difficulty_desc', 'regulation', 'actor_role'. page: Page number (default 1). per_page: Results per page (default 20, max 100)..
