Verify a claim against SEC filings

filedproof.verify_claim
Read-onlyIdempotent

Conservatively assess one explicit factual claim against official SEC filing evidence and return support, contradiction, mixed, partial, or insufficient-evidence stance signals. Use this when the caller already has a proposition to test. Use filedproof.search_evidence for open-ended research, filedproof.reconcile_financial_fact for one supported standalone-quarter revenue, net-income, or operating-cash-flow value, or filedproof.check_disclosure_changes for new disclosure-change monitoring. A filing establishes what the company reported, not independent real-world truth.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds valuable context about the conservative assessment approach and the epistemic limitation (a filing is what the company reported, not independent real-world truth). This goes beyond the annotations, though it doesn't detail specifics like rate limits or caching.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is compact but information-dense. It front-loads the primary purpose and stance signals, then provides sibling distinctions in a single sentence, and ends with a crucial epistemic caveat. Every sentence earns its place, with no redundancy.

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

Completeness5/5

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

The tool is complex (8 params, output schema, 11 siblings), but the description covers all essential aspects: the claim to test, the evidence basis, the possible stance outputs, usage context, and sibling differentiations. With an output schema present, the description doesn't need to explain return values. Nothing critical is missing for correct invocation.

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 all 8 parameters are individually documented. The description adds meaning by framing the core parameter 'claim' as an 'explicit factual claim' to test, which reinforces its purpose, though it doesn't add syntax or format details beyond what the schema provides. With full schema coverage, the baseline is 3, and the added framing justifies a 4.

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?

The description states a specific verb ('assess'), a specific resource ('explicit factual claim against official SEC filing evidence'), and enumerates the exact stance signals returned. It also distinguishes the tool from several siblings by naming them and their purposes, making the tool's unique role clear.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description explicitly states the condition for use ('when the caller already has a proposition to test') and provides direct alternatives for other scenarios (open-ended research, reconciling standalone financial facts, and monitoring disclosure changes). This gives clear when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance.

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