A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work.

• get_comune

  One Italian comune's population, foreign residents by citizenship, property purchase/rent price, price-to-rent, verified tax-regime eligibility, its province's rollup, `seismicZone` (the official zona sismica 1-4: a legal classification…

• search_comuni

  Look up Italian comuni by name (case- and accent-insensitive, partial names work) and get each one's 6-digit ISTAT code, province and region — the code get_comune needs. Returns identifiers only, no figures. Several comuni share a name…

• find_comuni

  Which Italian comuni match: region, province, population range, purchase-price and rent ranges (OMI), population change 2019–2025, and/or the verified comuni of a tax regime. Paged (max 100) and sortable. A comune with no price, rent or…

• get_nationality

  For one tracked citizenship (ISO-2 code such as US, GB, DE): the comuni, provinces and regions where its holders concentrate, with counts and shares. It is CITIZENSHIP, not birthplace — foreign-born Italian citizens are not counted — and…

  The catalog: each dataset's source institution, vintage (the period it describes), geographic grain, license, the expatliving.it page that presents it, and whether it is servable (false = still an unverified draft; never quote its…

• list_tax_regimes

  Each regime's status (verified or draft), whether it depends on place (geographic) or on the person, its legislation, population ceiling and how many comuni meet its verified criteria. Places, not people: not tax advice.

• check_tax_eligibility

  For one regime slug (from list_tax_regimes) and one 6-digit ISTAT code (from search_comuni): qualifies, does_not_qualify or not_assessable, with a one-sentence reason to quote. not_assessable is never a no. This is about the place only…

• list_articles

  Dated, sourced reporting on moving to and retiring in Italy, newest first. Filter by topic, by place (a comune's ISTAT code) or by dataset slug. Each entry has its URL, a Markdown URL for the full text, and the places and datasets it…

  One article's full text as Markdown, with its places, datasets and a ready-made citation. Quote figures from the dataset pages it cites, which carry their vintage. Content is free to use provided you credit Expat Living Italy and link to…
