Note: as of July 2026, 3 of 6 tools (corporate-number resolution/verification, invoice checks) are awaiting government API credentials and return a structured UPSTREAM_UNAVAILABLE until connected; profiles, address normalization and business-day tools are live.\n\nHojinCheck — 日本の法人検証API（法人 = hojin）。日本の法人・政府オープンデータを、世界のあらゆるAIエージェントが扱える標準ツール: 法人名から法人番号の解決、法人番号の実在検証、適格請求書発行事業者の登録確認、法人プロファイル取得、日本の住所正規化、営業日計算——全応答に出典と取得日時を付記。APIキーは https://hojincheck.com/signup で無料発行。※2026年7月時点、6ツ",
