This tool retrieves change/update information about entities in the Norwegian Business Registry to allow consumers to keep local copies synchronized. It performs a query operation that returns data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external actions.

How to control get_entity_updates

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_entity_updates": {}
  }
}
