XBRL concept history

get_xbrl_concept

Read-onlyIdempotent

All reported values of one XBRL concept for one company (SEC companyconcept API), newest first, deduped by period. Use for any tag not in get_financials, e.g. us-gaap:ResearchAndDevelopmentExpense, us-gaap:LongTermDebt, dei:EntityCommonStockSharesOutstanding. Tag case is corrected automatically (tag_corrected_from); an unknown tag returns NOT_FOUND with did_you_mean (tags this company reports). 10-Q facts mix 3-month and year-to-date values: pass duration ('annual', 'quarterly', 'ytd', 'instant') for one series; each fact carries its duration. fy/fp are the filing's fiscal year/period. framed_only=true keeps only SEC's one-fact-per-calendar-period values.

A4.8/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only/idempotent/open-world, but the description adds behavior well beyond them: newest-first ordering, dedup by period, automatic tag case correction surfaced as tag_corrected_from, and a NOT_FOUND response carrying did_you_mean candidates. The duration-mixing caveat and the framed_only meaning are genuine operational disclosures, not restatements.

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?

Front-loaded with the core scope and the sibling exclusion in the first two clauses, then layered with progressively narrower caveats. It is dense — parentheticals and examples make sentences long — but nearly every clause carries information an agent needs, so the density is justified rather than padded.

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?

For an 8-parameter, open-world lookup with an output schema, the description covers everything an agent needs: scope, sibling routing, the unit/duration pitfall, tag normalization, and the failure mode with recovery hints. Return-value shape is correctly left to the output schema.

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?

With 63% schema coverage, the description usefully explains duration ('annual', 'quarterly', 'ytd', 'instant' and why the choice matters) and framed_only ('keeps only SEC's one-fact-per-calendar-period values'), both of which are opaque from the schema alone. It leaves unit, forms, limit and taxonomy to the schema, and mentions fy/fp which are output fields rather than parameters — useful but slightly misplaced.

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 ('All reported values of one XBRL concept for one company') plus the source API and ordering/dedup semantics. It explicitly positions itself against the sibling get_financials ('Use for any tag not in get_financials'), so an agent can route correctly without opening either schema.

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?

Gives concrete when-to-use guidance with example tags (us-gaap:ResearchAndDevelopmentExpense, dei:EntityCommonStockSharesOutstanding) and names the alternative tool that covers the common case. It also supplies conditional guidance for the trickiest case ('10-Q facts mix 3-month and year-to-date values: pass duration...'), which is exactly the decision an agent would otherwise get wrong.

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