## 💡 Example Usage

Once configured, you can use the tools in your AI assistant:

```
User: "Validate these codes for this chart: 99213, I10, E11.9"

AI: I'll help you validate those codes using the validate_codes tool...
[Tool call to validate_codes]

Based on the validation results:
- Code 99213: Valid for established patient office visit
- Code I10: Valid for essential hypertension
- Code E11.9: Valid for type 2 diabetes without complications
```
