Edgar Company Facts

edgar_company_facts
Read-onlyIdempotent

AUTHORITATIVE full XBRL fundamentals dump for a US public company by CIK. Returns every reported financial metric (hundreds of concepts: revenue, net income, assets, liabilities, EPS, cash flow lines, segment breakdowns) with annual and historical values pulled straight from the company's SEC filings — the official numbers, not estimates. Use when you need the complete fundamental picture vs. one metric (for one metric use edgar_company_concept). Leads with latest_annual — revenue, net income, assets, cash, EPS for the most recent fiscal year, resolved to whichever XBRL concept the filer currently reports under — and flags retired concepts (e.g. a pre-ASC-606 Revenues tag) as stale so a 2010 figure is never mistaken for current. Large payload; agents typically use this once to discover available concepts then narrow to edgar_company_concept for follow-up queries.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
cikYesTicker ("NVDA") or CIK number ("320193"). Tickers are auto-resolved to CIKs internally.

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
cikYesCompany CIK number
year_noteNoHow `year` is derived
company_nameYesOfficial company name
latest_annualYesCanonical line items for the most recent fiscal year — revenue, net_income, operating_income, gross_profit, total_assets, total_liabilities, stockholders_equity, cash_and_equivalents, eps_basic, eps_diluted, shares_outstanding, research_and_development — each resolved to whichever concept the filer currently reports under; null when the filer reports no current value
key_financialsYesPer-concept detail. Current concepts first, retired (stale) concepts last — a stale concept is kept because a historical series still needs it, never silently dropped
stale_conceptsYesConcepts the filer has stopped reporting; present in key_financials flagged stale, never used in latest_annual
latest_period_endNoPeriod end of that most recent annual report (YYYY-MM-DD)
available_conceptsYesTotal number of US-GAAP financial concepts available for this company
latest_fiscal_yearNoFiscal year of the filer's most recent annual report across every concept examined

  5. First observed

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds substantial context beyond this: the response leads with latest_annual, retired concepts are flagged as stale, the payload is large, and data is the official SEC-filed numbers. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

The description is longer than average but front-loaded with the core purpose and distinguishes the tool from siblings immediately. Each subsequent sentence adds useful context (latest_annual behavior, stale flags, large payload, usage pattern), though the example concept list is somewhat verbose.

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?

With an output schema present and the single input parameter fully documented, the description supplies all needed decision-making context: when to use, when not to, payload size, stale-concept handling, and the recommended narrow-down workflow. Nothing critical is missing.

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 coverage for the single parameter is 100%, including accepted ticker/CIK formats and auto-resolution. The description only mentions 'by CIK' without adding format, syntax, or example details, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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 clearly states it returns a full XBRL fundamentals dump for a US public company, listing the resource and output type. It explicitly contrasts with edgar_company_concept for one-metric queries, distinguishing itself from the most relevant sibling.

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 says 'Use when you need the complete fundamental picture vs. one metric' and names the alternative tool edgar_company_concept. It also provides workflow guidance: use once to discover concepts, then narrow to edgar_company_concept for follow-ups.

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