resolve_url 2 credits
Identify what a LinkedIn URL points at before fetching it. Give any LinkedIn profile, company, or post URL (utm params, www/m subdomains, trailing slashes are fine); get back {type: person|company|post, id, handle, canonical_url}. For profile URLs, id is the stable person URN; for company URLs, id is the stable company URN; for post URLs, id is the activity URN extracted from the URL. Use the returned handle or id with get_profile, get_company, or get_posts. Costs 2 credits. Skip this tool when you already have a slug, URN, or clean URL: get_profile and get_company accept those directly, so resolving first would waste 2 credits. Not for non-LinkedIn URLs; it returns INVALID_INPUT for those.
