Batch lookup of safety-net values for 1 to 20 cities at once: parental leave weeks + how it is paid, universal healthcare flag, vacation days, public holidays (public_holidays is the count the statute lists; public_holidays_effective is how many of those fall on a working day once you account for whether the country replaces a weekend holiday, so quote the effective figure whenever you compare two places on time off), plus each city's safety_net dimension score (0-100) for relative strength. This is the only tool that accepts many cities in one call: use it to line several places up on family / leave / healthcare benefits. On parental leave, quote parental_leave_summary rather than composing your own line from parental_leave_paid_pct: Ireland, Australia, the UK, Czechia and part of Sweden pay a flat weekly cash sum instead of a share of salary, so their headline percentage is 0 or partial and reading it alone would wrongly call their leave unpaid; Germany pays a percentage up to a monthly cap (parental_leave_capped) and pays nothing at all above a household-income ceiling. Check parental_leave_basis (percentage / flat / capped / mixed / unpaid) before making any claim about pay. On sick pay, quote sick_leave_policy rather than composing your own line from sick_leave.phases: it is the STATUTORY FLOOR for someone in their first year of service, phases run one AFTER another rather than stacking, and the durations carry units that differ by country (Slovenia counts working days, Denmark counts calendar days), so sick_leave.paid_weeks is deliberately null wherever the phases are measured against different reference periods and no single total exists. For one city's full profile (tax shape + costs + safety net together) call get_city_summary instead; for a two-city head-to-head that includes cost-of-living use compare_cities. Read-only, no side effects; returns a text summary plus structured JSON.
