Pretty much the only information we have regarding the Operations of what VFD Does, comes from the VFD Social, on pgs 33-47 of LSUA.
Pg 39:
"We are entering people's homes, taking young children who show exceptional observational and/or notetaking skills, and isolating then, for long perioods at least, from people they know. We assign them to strangers and scatter them across the globe, performing errands until their ankles have healed, until we know they can be trusted, and until we know that no one is searching for them any longer. Then, finally, we bring them to headquarters so they can learn the skills they need before they are introduced back into society, in order to make sure the world remains, as we say, quiet.
K: and Extinguished."
J adds that they get permission before they enter the home and take the children.
So, this is pretty much all we've got on what VFD Does, exactly. the Observational/Notetaking skills is used, at least by Lemony Snicket, to follow the Baudelaire's, and keep tabs on them. The ankles healing line has something to do with the tattoo, and the eye tattoo itself lends credence to the Observing bit.
Other then that, there isn't really any more information.
