Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`cik`	No
`ticker`	No

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`cik`	Yes	Registrant's SEC Central Index Key, 10 digits zero-padded (e.g. 0000320193), resolved from the ticker when one was supplied. Use this form in other views.
`sic`	Yes	Standard Industrial Classification code for the registrant's primary industry as assigned by the SEC, typically 4 digits (e.g. 3571); null when EDGAR has none.
`name`	Yes	Registrant name as published on EDGAR's submissions record; empty string when EDGAR carries no name for the CIK.
`as_of`	Yes	ISO-8601 UTC timestamp with milliseconds (e.g. 2026-09-03T14:05:00.000Z) at which this snapshot was assembled. EDGAR is queried live, so it is the read time rather than a fixed data cut-off.
`facts`	Yes	XBRL financial series keyed by revenue, net_income, total_assets, cash, operating_cash_flow and shares_outstanding; each is up to the 8 most recent periods ordered oldest to newest. A key is absent when the registrant reports no matching concept, and the map is empty when XBRL company facts are unavailable.
`sources`	Yes	Public EDGAR API URLs this snapshot was compiled from, keyed `submissions` and `companyfacts`. Re-fetching them reproduces the underlying facts.
`tickers`	Yes	Every exchange ticker EDGAR lists for this registrant, uppercase, in EDGAR's own order. Empty for private, unlisted or deregistered filers.
`method_id`	No	Identifier and version of the rule set behind the flags and scores in `events_30d`. It changes when the method changes; results carrying different method_ids are not directly comparable.	sec_events_rules_v1
`disclaimer`	No	Fixed notice that this snapshot is compiled from public SEC filings and is not investment advice.	Compiled from public SEC filings; not investment advice.
`events_30d`	Yes	Events derived from this registrant's filings over the last 30 days, most recent first, capped at 50. Empty when nothing was filed or our event index does not yet cover the period.
`insider_90d`	Yes	Form 4 insider-trading summary for the last 90 days: `filings` (insider events counted), `buy_usd` and `sell_usd` (open-market purchase and sale value in whole US dollars) and `net_usd` (buy_usd minus sell_usd, negative on net selling).
`recent_filings`	Yes	Up to the 15 most recent filings of any form from EDGAR's submissions record, most recent first. Each element has `form`, `filed` (ISO-8601 filing date), `accession`, `description` (primary document description, may be empty) and `url` (index page).
`fiscal_year_end`	Yes	Registrant's fiscal year end as a four-character MMDD string (e.g. 0930 for 30 September); null when EDGAR has none on record.
`sic_description`	Yes	Industry title EDGAR pairs with `sic` (e.g. Electronic Computers); null whenever `sic` is null.
`state_of_incorporation`	Yes	Jurisdiction the registrant is incorporated in as a two-character code — a US state code such as DE, or an SEC country code. This is not the business address; null when EDGAR has none.

TDQS

B3.2/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful operational context ($0.02/call, aggregated contents), but it does not disclose data freshness, identifier precedence, or behavior when both parameters are omitted.

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?

One dense, front-loaded sentence covers purpose, scope, contents, and cost with no filler. Every clause earns its place.

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

Completeness2/5

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

The output schema covers return values and annotations cover safety, but the description is incomplete where it matters most: it never specifies how to identify the company via the two nullable parameters. An agent cannot reliably know whether cik, ticker, or both are needed to make a valid call.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0% and the description does not compensate: it never explains that cik and ticker are the lookup identifiers, whether at least one is required, or what happens if both are supplied. The parameter names are recognizable, but the crucial input contract is absent.

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?

The description clearly identifies the resource ('SEC snapshot of a US public company') and enumerates the contents (filings, indexed events, insider activity, XBRL facts), which distinguishes it from the unrelated sibling tools. It lacks an explicit action verb like 'retrieves' or 'gets,' though 'one-call snapshot' makes the intent obvious.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

It implies the tool is for a consolidated SEC snapshot and limits scope to US public companies, giving some eligibility context. However, it provides no explicit when-to-use guidance, no alternatives, and no statement of when not to use this tool.

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

A3.9/5.0

Disambiguation4/5

The discovery and account tools are clearly distinct, but answerpool_get is a generic executor that overlaps with answerpool_sec_company, since that SEC snapshot is likely also reachable through the catalog. list_products and search_catalog are similar in output but differ in 'list all' versus 'search', so the ambiguity is limited.

Naming Consistency3/5

All tools share the answerpool_ prefix, but the suffix style is mixed: list_products and search_catalog use verb_noun, while credit_balance and sec_company are noun phrases and get is a bare verb. This is readable but not a consistent naming convention.

Tool Count5/5

Five tools is well-scoped for a platform that exposes 133 products through a generic get endpoint plus discovery, account, and a convenience wrapper. Each tool has a clear role and none feel redundant enough to warrant removal.

Completeness5/5

The toolset covers the full user journey: discover products via search/list, execute any product via get, and check credit balance for paid calls. The sec_company shortcut is a bonus, and because answerpool_get can run any product, no product is left unreachable.
