Valuein — SEC EDGAR Fundamentals & Smart-Money Data

Financial restatements

list_restatements
Read-onlyIdempotent

Returns restatement events: reported figures that a later SEC filing changed by more than 0.5%, each with the original and restated values, the change, a severity, the XBRL tag, both filings' accession numbers and how it was disclosed (non-reliance 8-K, amended filing, or a routine filing). Use this when the user asks whether or how a company's past numbers were revised. A revision in a routine filing describes the filing record, not the company's intent.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
sortNorecent (default, newest restating filing first) or significance (importance, then size of change), e.g. significance.recent
limitNoEvents per page, 1 to 100; defaults to 25, e.g. 50.
cursorNoPaging cursor copied from next_cursor in the previous result, e.g. 25.
sectorNoSector name to limit results to, matched in full but case-insensitive, e.g. Technology.
tickerNoTicker symbol or SEC CIK to limit results to one company, e.g. AAPL.
event_idNoId of one event from an earlier result, lowercase hex, e.g. 3f9a0c12.
severityNohigh (change of 10% or more), medium (2% or more) or low (0.5% or more), e.g. high.
disclosureNoDisclosure types to include: non_reliance (8-K Item 4.02), amended, or undisclosed (a routine 10-K or 10-Q), e.g. ["amended"].
filed_sinceNoEarliest date of the restating filing, YYYY-MM-DD, e.g. 2024-01-01.
max_importanceNo1 keeps headline figures only, 2 adds primary statement lines, 3 includes footnotes, e.g. 1.
amendments_onlyNotrue keeps only changes that arrived in an amended 10-K/A or 10-Q/A, e.g. true.
min_abs_delta_pctNoSmallest absolute change to include, in percent from 0 to 100, e.g. 5.

      Previous value: -"Only restatements that arrived in an AMENDED filing (10-K/A, 10-Q/A) — the company formally telling the SEC it got a number wrong. The sharpest cut there is: it separates real restatements from routine re-files (a next-year 10-K carrying a revised comparative)."New value: +"true keeps only changes that arrived in an amended 10-K/A or 10-Q/A, e.g. true."

      Previous value: -"Filter by HOW the company told the market. 'non_reliance' = it filed an 8-K Item 4.02 ('Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements') — formally telling the SEC not to rely on what it already reported. The loudest signal in US disclosure, and rare. 'amended' = corrected in a 10-K/A or 10-Q/A. 'undisclosed' = the value changed inside a ROUTINE 10-Q or 10-K: no amendment, no 4.02, the old number is simply gone. ~94% of events. Anyone can parse an 8-K, so anyone can list what companies ANNOUNCED; finding what they didn't requires every vintage back to 1993."New value: +"Disclosure types to include: non_reliance (8-K Item 4.02), amended, or undisclosed (a routine 10-K or 10-Q), e.g. [\"amended\"]."

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint/idempotent/destructive=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely useful non-schema context: the 0.5% inclusion threshold, the disclosure taxonomy in plain terms (non-reliance 8-K, amended filing, routine filing), and an interpretive caveat that a routine-filing revision describes the filing record rather than company intent.

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?

Three sentences, front-loaded with scope and threshold before the usage trigger and caveat. Every sentence earns its place, though the field enumeration could be tightened slightly.

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?

An output schema exists, so return-value explanation is not required, yet the description still summarizes the payload (original/restated values, change, severity, XBRL tag, accession numbers, disclosure). Combined with the threshold definition and disclosure taxonomy, an agent has everything needed to call it 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 description coverage is 100% and every one of the 12 parameters carries its own definition and example, so the schema does the heavy lifting. The description adds no parameter-level syntax or semantics beyond what the schema already provides, making the baseline 3 appropriate.

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 resource (restatement events) with a precise threshold definition (figures a later SEC filing changed by more than 0.5%) and enumerates the returned fields. An agent can distinguish this from siblings like forensic_audit or verify_fact_lineage without opening any schema.

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 this when the user asks whether or how a company's past numbers were revised" gives a clear triggering condition. It stops short of naming alternatives (e.g., forensic_audit, verify_fact_lineage) or stating when not to use it, so it is clear context without exclusions.

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