AI tool enhances Australian Business Number verification against live registry

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has released an updated tool, AU Business Identity v0.2.0, designed to enhance the capabilities of AI agents by providing more robust verification of Australian Business Numbers (ABNs). The tool now includes a `verify_abn` function that checks ABNs against the live Australian Business Register, offering details like registration status, entity name, and GST status. This is distinct from the existing `validate_abn` function, which only performs local format and checksum validation, ensuring agents can differentiate between a structurally valid number and a genuinely registered business.
