Valuein — SEC EDGAR Fundamentals & Smart-Money Data

Earnings Signals

get_earnings_signals

Read-onlyIdempotent

Reported earnings results and a model-derived earnings-trend signal for a company, by fiscal period: actual reported EPS, a trailing-trend EPS estimate (eps_trend_est), the deviation of actual vs that trend (eps_surprise_pct), reported revenue, and year-over-year revenue growth. IMPORTANT: eps_trend_est is NOT Wall Street analyst consensus — Valuein is sourced purely from SEC EDGAR and carries no consensus feed. It is a deterministic estimate computed from the company's own prior reported EPS, so eps_surprise_pct measures how far the print landed from its own trailing trend, not whether it 'beat the Street'. Use it to track earnings/revenue trajectory and momentum, not to claim a consensus beat or miss. Point-in-time safe — pass as_of_date to filter by SEC acceptance (accepted_at) for look-ahead-free backtests. Available on all plans.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`limit`	No	Maximum number of periods to return (1–40), most recent first. Defaults to 8 — covers 2 years of quarterly signals plus their TTM equivalents. earnings_signals.parquet currently emits one row per (entity, period_end); older rows surface here as more historical periods are published.
`ticker`	Yes	Stock ticker symbol, e.g. AAPL, MSFT — or a CIK (SEC identifier), e.g. '0000320193'.
`as_of_date`	No	Point-in-time filter: only return signals with accepted_at on or before this date. Use for backtesting to avoid look-ahead bias.

Output Schema

`plan`	Yes
`_meta`	Yes	Provenance envelope — data lineage for every MCP response
`ticker`	Yes
`as_of_date`	No

A4.4/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations (read-only, idempotent), the description discloses critical behavioral context: data provenance (SEC EDGAR only, no consensus feed), that eps_trend_est is a deterministic estimate from prior reported EPS, not analyst consensus, and that as_of_date enables look-ahead-free backtests. It also notes plan availability ('Available on all plans').

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 front-loaded with what the tool returns, followed by a crucial caveat about the trend estimate. It is slightly longer than strictly necessary but every sentence contributes important context (provenance, caveat, point-in-time use, plan availability) with no filler.

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 the output schema exists, return values need not be explained. The description covers all essential aspects: purpose, data provenance, the non-consensus caveat, point-in-time safety, and plan availability. An agent has enough to invoke and interpret the tool correctly.

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 is 100%, so the schema already documents all three parameters fully. The description reinforces the meaning of as_of_date (point-in-time filter by SEC acceptance for backtests) but adds no syntactic or format details beyond what the schema provides; the limit and ticker parameters are not elaborated in the description.

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 explicitly states the resource and scope: reported earnings results plus a model-derived earnings-trend signal by fiscal period, and lists the exact data points returned (EPS, eps_trend_est, eps_surprise_pct, revenue, YoY growth). This distinguishes it from generic fundamentals tools by focusing on earnings trajectory and the specific trend estimate.

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?

It gives clear usage guidance: 'Use it to track earnings/revenue trajectory and momentum, not to claim a consensus beat or miss,' and explains the point-in-time use case for backtests. It does not explicitly name alternatives like get_company_fundamentals or compare_periods, so it falls short of the explicit alternative-routing that a 5 would require.

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