NFC Usage

Hi, I recently got a ACR122U Card reader and I am thinking of using it in combination with homeassistant. I saw a configuration option labeled NFC in the Hass.Agent settings. However, it cannot see my card reader. Other programs such as NFC Tools for Desktop can, and it shows up in device manager. Does somebody have any advice on how i could use it?

HASS.Agent users windows API to list the readers available to "system", if it is not listed then it might be hard this "NFC Tools for Desktop" is a proprietary software correct?

looks like there is a third party nuget for it but the license situation is not clear https://github.com/sydesoft/Sydesoft.NfcDevice.ACR122U
