Server-provided instructions

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

Read-only access to the French RNCP and RS registers of professional certifications (France compétences open data). Numbers may be given as 'RNCP35419', '35419' or 'RS5000'. Always relay the `source` and `data_updated_at` fields to the user and link `url_fiche`. Use get_data_status when freshness matters, check_validity before recommending a certification, list_blocs for EDOF declarations, check_habilitation for a SIRET.

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Full-text search (BM25 + French synonyms) over the French national registers of professional certifications: RNCP (diplomas, titles, CQP) and RS (specific register: skills certificates, habilitations). Filter by register, level (3-8), NSF or ROME code. Returns ranked matches with status and expiry date; use get_certification for details. Example (FR): « Quelles certifications de niveau 6 en cybersécurité sont actives ? »
