Get 10-K/10-Q/S-1 narrative sections

get_sections
Read-onlyIdempotent

Narrative sections from the latest 10-K/10-Q as clean text — Risk Factors (item 1A), MD&A (item 7), Business (item 1), etc. — or from an IPO registration statement (form 'S-1'): risk_factors, use_of_proceeds, mda, business, principal_stockholders, shares_eligible. Built for LLM/RAG equity research. Omit 'item' to list the available sections first. For a company that hasn't listed yet, pass its CIK as 'ticker'.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, so the bar is lower; the description adds that output is clean text tuned for LLM/RAG, that omitting 'item' returns a section listing, and that CIK works as a ticker substitute. It does not disclose output size/truncation limits, which matters for a tool returning whole 10-K sections into a context window.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three tight sentences, front-loaded with what is returned before the section enumeration and the operational hints. Dense with parenthetical item codes but no filler; slight nesting ('form \'S-1\'') makes it busier than strictly necessary.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

No output schema exists, so the description carries the return-shape burden and does so adequately: text sections, section-listing mode, and pre-IPO ticker handling. Missing is behavior on invalid/missing sections and whether long sections are chunked or truncated — the main remaining unknown for an agent calling it.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so 3 is the floor, but the description adds real meaning: it enumerates valid S-1 item keys and clarifies that 'ticker' accepts a CIK for unlisted issuers — a case the schema's 'US stock ticker, e.g. AAPL' actively contradicts. It also restates the omit-item listing behavior beyond the schema text.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource — narrative sections (Risk Factors, MD&A, Business) as clean text from 10-K/10-Q, and named S-1 sections (risk_factors, use_of_proceeds, mda, etc.). The enumerated section keys make it immediately distinguishable from get_filings and get_xbrl, which provide filings lists and financial data rather than narrative text.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives concrete routing advice: omit 'item' to list available sections first, and pass a CIK as 'ticker' for pre-IPO companies. Clear context for when each mode applies, though it never explicitly names a sibling tool as the alternative for filing-list or XBRL lookups.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
