The agent calculates the total cost to employ a worker in a specific Asian country, including statutory contributions from both employer and employee sides, based on official rates and regulations provided by asiaref.
The agent uses the POST /v1/answers/employment-cost endpoint via the asiaref MCP server. It provides the country code and salary details to receive a breakdown of statutory contributions. The agent reviews the returned cost components to ensure they align with local labor laws. It checks for any 'stale' flags or refusals that might indicate outdated data or missing information. The agent should verify the country's coverage and ensure the input salary is within valid ranges for the calculation.
