List the last 5 background checks in my Checkr account.

Retrieving recent reports... I found 5 items: John Doe (Clear), Jane Smith (Pending), Mike Miller (Consider), and 2 others. Would you like to see the details for Mike Miller?

Check the status of the candidate named 'Jane Smith'.

Searching for Jane Smith... I found 1 profile. Her background check is currently 'Pending' (75% complete). We are waiting for the motor vehicle record check to finish.

What screening packages do I have available?

Checking your available packages... You have 3 configured: 'Standard Pro' (Criminal + MVR), 'Basic' (Criminal Only), and 'Executive' (Standard + Credit + Employment).

Yes! Use the `get_report_details` tool. The agent will return the current status. If the status is 'Consider', it means some records were found that require your review.
