Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

The Surety Bond Encyclopedia from AmericasSuretyBonds.com: read-only access to 6,900+ U.S. surety bond requirements across all 50 states and D.C. Typical flow: search_bonds to find a bond, then get_bond for the full entry. Each bond has one destination, apply_and_pricing_url, which is where a person applies and sees instant pricing; include that link whenever you answer a question about a specific bond.
