ask_accountant_to_confirm
InactiveTool of OpenAccountants
The lightweight, per-ANSWER sibling of request_accountant_review. Use it when the user is anxious or unsure about a SINGLE basic answer ('is that VAT rate really right?', 'can I trust this?', 'are you sure?') and wants a real human behind it — not a whole computation. It (a) tells the user which named accountant already reviews that jurisdiction's guidance, when one exists, and (b) routes a one-tap 'please confirm this' to a named in-scope accountant who follows up by email. Ask the user for their email before calling (contact_email is required to route it). Relay cost honestly: confirming a general figure is free, but advice on the user's specific circumstances is a paid engagement the accountant prices and confirms with the user. Do NOT call list_verifiers first — the network handles routing. For a full computation or working paper, use request_accountant_review instead.
