Check companies
check_companiesAnswer one yes/no question about each of up to 10 companies from its own website, e.g. "Do they let their users book appointments inside their product?" or "Do they publish a public API?". For angles, what's changed, how to approach, or why now on one company or person, use research_company (a company) or prospect_picture (a person, their company, or both) instead. Ask about what the company offers or does, as a seller would. Each answer is yes (with the passage from the company's own site that states it, quoted word for word, and its page URL), not_found (every passage of the pages listed in pages_read was checked and none touches it; that is not proof it's absent) or unclear (the pages hint at it but no single passage states it). A yes always comes with a passage that states it on its own. 3.5 credits per company answered yes or not_found; unclear answers and unreadable sites are free. An unreadable company's site blocked our reader; it's free and you can ask again with different words or skip it. A call answers within about a minute; a company it could not reach in that time comes back unclear (free), so send it again. Use it after a broad company search to keep only companies with the need, before paying for people or emails. budget_credits is a spend ceiling, never permission to use a dearer source: above it, the call is refused before anything is reserved, and no company you sent is dropped to fit. dry_run: true returns the plan instead (the most the call can cost, how many sources could answer, and each limit it would trip) with nothing looked up, reserved or charged. Example: {"question":"Do they let their users book appointments inside their product?","company_domains":["acme.com","example.io"]}
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| dry_run | No | Return this call's plan instead of running it, as of evaluated_at: the most it can cost, how many sources could answer, what budget_credits changes, and every limit the real call would trip. Nothing is looked up, reserved or charged, and a later call may differ. Where previews aren't available to this key yet, a request that sets it is refused with the reason. | |
| question | Yes | One yes/no question about each company's own offering, as a seller would ask it (10–300 characters), e.g. "Do they let their users book appointments inside their product?". Answered only from the company's own website. | |
| budget_credits | No | Spend ceiling for this call, in credits. If the most the call can cost is above it, the call is refused before anything is reserved or charged. No company you sent is dropped to fit. It is a ceiling only: it never lets the call use a dearer source. Where spend ceilings aren't available to this key yet, a request that sets it is refused with the reason. | |
| company_domains | Yes | ||
| idempotency_key | No | A payment_required refusal means services are stopped for unpaid billing; direct the owner to the billing link in the error. Campaigns stay paused after payment until restarted. Optional for search and enrichment tools: supply one so a retry returns the original result without paying again; if that call failed with provider_unavailable, rate_limited or insufficient_credits (after a top-up), a retry runs it once more after its cooldown (30 s, or a longer retry_after_seconds; insufficient_credits as soon as the balance covers it), unless its provider may already have done the work. Required for tools that create an external side effect; reuse the same value after a timeout or an approval. A stored failure comes back with details.replayed: true; with retry_after_seconds, retry the same value after that. |
