Search EU financial authorisations (ESMA, ECB, EIOPA)

search_eu_financial_authorisations
Read-only

Search EU financial authorisations in five official registers by name or LEI: ESMA Registers (MiFID-regulated entities across all EU/EEA countries: status, home and host member states, competent authority, dates), the ECB list of supervised entities (supervision_bce: banking union, significant banks under direct ECB supervision and less significant ones under national authorities, group, remarks, monthly changes; absence is conclusive only for a LEI and never means unsupervised outside the banking union), the ESMA register of benchmark administrators (administrateurs_indices), the ESMA register of money market funds (fonds_monetaires: fund and manager LEI, type, domicile, authorisation status incl. Withdrawn, dates) and the EIOPA register of occupational pension institutions (iorp: national authority, registration dates incl. closed registrations, cross-border activity, managing entity; only 30% carry a LEI, so zero by LEI is never conclusive). A block listed in blocs_absents was not read: panne_amont (retry later), stock_perime or collecte_en_cours (local copy too old or never loaded: retrying does not help). Use to verify that a financial firm is actually regulated somewhere in the EU. Data freely available at the sources. An entry whose own name, trading name or manager (money market funds, IORPs) is under objection (GDPR art. 21) is neither served nor counted, with no ecartes field; nombre_total (top level or of a block) may be null, unknown, when an ESMA register's matches under such an objection cannot all be re-read, or their re-read failed (such a page is not cached: the next call reads the register again; GET /v1/lecture), and an item of supervision_bce.entites[].changements is null when it names a person who objected, counted in the entity's ecartes.opposition. Paid via x402 ($0.01 in USDC or EURC). When you report a result, cite its citation verbatim.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
qYesEntity name or 20-character LEI. Unsupported characters are stripped, not rejected.
paysNoOptional ISO-3166 alpha-2 home-member-state filter (FR, DE...)
api_keyNoOptional Sirenic API key (srn_live_…) to pay with prepaid credits instead of x402, with no wallet needed. Get one at https://api.sirenic.eu/compte?utm_source=api&utm_campaign=mcp. Ignored when x_payment is provided (the signed payment wins). On insufficient balance the tool returns a credits error, not an x402 quote.
x_paymentNoOptional signed x402 PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header value. Omit to receive the payment quote.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
hintNoHow to settle the quote, present when payment_required is true.
quoteNoThe signable x402 payment requirements when payment_required is true: {x402Version, accepts[]} where each entry carries scheme, network, amount, asset and payTo (USDC and EURC options at the same numeric amount). Sign one entry and call again with `x_payment`.
resultatNoThe endpoint's JSON response when payment_required is false. Paid responses carry `source`, `disclaimer` and an Ed25519 signature, and every paid JSON response carries a `provenance` array (all tools since 2026-09-06): one entry per block served, with the official register, licence, version, `empreinte_sha256` (full snapshots), `as_of` date and `precision_as_of` (what that date means), plus the common per-block envelope: `etat` in a closed list (servi, absence_mesuree, absence_non_conclusive, partiel, perime, indisponible, sans_objet), `motif` when unavailable, `age_jours` (only for publication or ingestion dates), `couverture` (complete / partielle / non_mesurable with its measure) and `confiance` in bands (faible / moyenne / forte, only where a measure grounds it, never averaged across blocks). Read the states before the numbers: an absence_non_conclusive, indisponible or partiel block is never « nothing to report »; only absence_mesuree asserts an absence. Register codes: GET /v1/provenance/registres ; states, closed lists and reading rules: GET /v1/lecture (both free). The PDF tools carry no JSON envelope (the PDF report prints it).
free_tierNoFree API key offer for this tool, present with a quote.
payment_requiredYesTrue when this response is an x402 payment quote instead of data: settle one of the quote's `accepts` options and call the tool again with `x_payment`.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes far beyond readOnlyHint/openWorldHint: it discloses the paid x402 model ($0.01 USDC or EURC) with the api_key alternative, the meaning of each `blocs_absents` code including which are retryable and which are not, GDPR art. 21 objection handling, when `nombre_total` can be null and that such a page is not cached, and the citation obligation on reporting.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The opening sentence front-loads scope well, but the body is a single dense paragraph of nested parentheticals, including register field enumerations (status, home/host member states, dates) that the output schema already supplies. Operationally critical facts — pricing and the verbatim-citation requirement — are buried at the very end.

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?

Given five heterogeneous registers, an x402 payment flow, structured partial-failure codes and GDPR-driven suppression, the description covers everything an agent needs to call and interpret results; return shapes are largely inherited from the existing output schema, so no meaningful gap remains.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already explains q (name or 20-char LEI, unsupported characters stripped), pays (ISO-3166 alpha-2), api_key and x_payment. The description adds only marginal parameter-level meaning, chiefly the LEI-coverage caveats, which is the baseline 3 level.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb and resource — searching EU financial authorisations by name or LEI across five named registers — and each register's domain is spelled out (MiFID entities, ECB banking union, benchmark administrators, MMFs, IORPs). It is clear about scope, but never names a confusable sibling such as get_company_licences or search_european_companies, so the agent must infer the boundary itself.

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?

"Use to verify that a financial firm is actually regulated somewhere in the EU" gives a concrete decision context, and per-register caveats tell the agent how to interpret a negative result (ECB absence conclusive only for a LEI; IORP zero by LEI never conclusive because only 30% carry one). It stops short of explicit when-not-to-use rules or named alternatives, so it is a strong 4 rather than a 5.

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