AU Agent Utilities

Reliable Australian utility tools for AI agents and applications.

AU Agent Utilities is a growing collection of deterministic, Australia-specific tools designed to give AI agents reliable answers for calculations and data that are easy to get wrong with generic reasoning alone.

Current Release

Business Day Engine v1.2.0

The current release provides Australian business-day, public-holiday, date-range and deadline calculations across all states and territories.

Available Tools

check_australian_business_day

Checks whether a date is a business day in an Australian state or territory.

Returns:

• whether the date is a business day
• weekend or public-holiday reason
• holiday name where applicable
• previous business day
• next business day

Example:

Date: 2021-12-27
State: NSW

Result:

Business day: false
Reason: public_holiday
Holiday: Christmas Day (substitute day)
Next business day: 2021-12-29

calculate_australian_business_date

Adds or subtracts Australian business days from a starting date.

Positive numbers move forward and negative numbers move backward.

The start date is excluded by default.

Example:

Start date: 2021-12-24
State: NSW
Business days: 1

Result:

2021-12-29

The calculation skips weekends and applicable public holidays, including substitute public holidays.

count_australian_business_days

Counts business days between two Australian calendar dates.

Boundary inclusion is explicit so agents do not have to guess whether the start or end date should be counted.

The result can include:

• business days
• non-business days
• weekend days
• public-holiday weekdays
• holidays encountered

Example:

Start date: 2021-12-24
End date: 2021-12-29
State: NSW
Include start: false
Include end: true

Result:

Business days: 1

calculate_australian_deadline

Calculates an Australian deadline using either calendar days or business days.

Supports explicit rules for:

• whether the start date is counted
• rolling a non-business deadline forward
• rolling a non-business deadline backward
• leaving the calculated date unchanged

Example:

Start date: 2021-12-20
State: NSW
Days: 7
Day type: calendar
Include start: false
Roll: next

The unadjusted deadline is:

2021-12-27

Because that date is a substitute public holiday, the final deadline becomes:

2021-12-29

Supported Jurisdictions

• ACT
• NSW
• NT
• QLD
• SA
• TAS
• VIC
• WA

Holiday Handling

The engine accounts for:

• Saturdays
• Sundays
• state and territory public holidays
• substitute public holidays where represented in the installed holiday dataset

Public-holiday information is provided using the date-holidays dataset.

Local, regional or industry-specific holidays are not guaranteed unless represented in the relevant jurisdiction dataset.

HTTP Endpoints

The Worker can also be used directly over HTTP.

Check a business day

/check?date=2021-12-27&state=NSW

Add or subtract business days

/calculate?date=2021-12-24&state=NSW&days=1

Count business days

/count?start_date=2021-12-24&end_date=2021-12-29&state=NSW&include_start=false&include_end=true

Calculate a deadline

/deadline?start_date=2021-12-20&state=NSW&days=7&day_type=calendar&include_start=false&roll=next

Why AU Agent Utilities?

AI agents are good at reasoning, but deterministic local rules should not depend on guessing.

AU Agent Utilities is being built as a reliable Australian utility layer for agents, with the Business Day Engine as the first module.

Future utilities will expand beyond dates into other Australian data, verification and workflow functions.
