Search for companies using natural language queries. This is the primary entry point for discovering companies.

What it does: Searches Harmonic's database using AI-powered natural language understanding. You can describe what you're looking for in plain English.

Example queries:

• "AI startups in San Francisco"

• "fintech companies with Series A funding"

• "B2B SaaS companies founded after 2020"

• "healthcare startups in Boston with 50-100 employees"

Returns:

• Company URNs (use harmonic_get_company to get full details)

• Total count of matching companies

• Query interpretation showing how your query was parsed

• Pagination cursor for more results

Returns (JSON): { "data": [{ "urn": "urn:harmonic:company:123", "id": "123" }], "count": number, "totalAvailable": number, "hasMore": boolean, "nextCursor": string | null, "queryInterpretation": { "semantic": string, "faceted": [...] } }

Next Steps: Use the numeric ID from URN with harmonic_get_company for full company details.

Quick autocomplete search for companies by name or domain. Use this for fast lookups when you know part of the company name.

What it does: Returns company matches ranked by relevance. Lower ranking_score = better match.

Example queries:

• "Harmonic" - finds companies with Harmonic in the name

• "stripe.com" - finds by domain

• "Str" - partial name search

Returns (JSON): { "data": [ { "entity_urn": "urn:harmonic:company:1", "text": "Harmonic", "ranking_score": 10.0 } ], "count": number }

When to use:

• Quick lookup by known company name

• Autocomplete suggestions

• Finding company by domain

When NOT to use:

• Complex searches with multiple criteria (use harmonic_search_companies instead)

• Searching by funding stage, location, etc.

Get all saved searches accessible to your Harmonic account. Saved searches enable monitoring deal flow and tracking companies over time.

What it does: Returns all saved searches (also called "Saved Views" in Harmonic UI) that your team has created. Each saved search has specific filter criteria.

Returns: { "data": [ { "id": 141648, "name": "Stealth Feed", "type": "COMPANIES_LIST", "is_private": false, "created_at": "2024-10-10T18:48:38.438102", "updated_at": "2025-06-16T00:53:15.505131" } ], "count": number }

Search types:

• COMPANIES_LIST: Search for companies

• PERSONS: Search for people

Next steps: Use harmonic_get_saved_search_results with the search ID to get matching companies/persons.

Use cases:

• List all team deal flow monitors

• Find a specific saved search by name

• Check when a search was last updated

Get results from a saved search. Returns full company/person data matching the search criteria.

WARNING: Response sizes are LARGE:

• size=3 (default): ~81KB

• size=5 (max): ~135KB

Field filtering does NOT work on this endpoint. Each result contains full company data (~27KB). Use pagination (cursor) for more results rather than large sizes.

Input:

• search_id: The saved search ID (get from harmonic_list_saved_searches)

• size: Number of results (default: 3, max: 5)

• cursor: Pagination cursor for more results

Returns (for COMPANIES_LIST type): { "data": [ { "id": 65200417, "name": "Stealth Company (John Smith)", "description": "...", "headcount": 1, "funding": { "funding_total": 0, "funding_stage": "STEALTH" }, "location": { "city": "San Francisco", "country": "United States" }, "contact": { "primary_email": "john@example.com" } } ], "count": number, "totalAvailable": number, "hasMore": boolean, "nextCursor": string | null }

Use cases:

• Monitor deal flow with pre-defined criteria

• Get companies matching specific investment thesis

• Track stealth companies or recent launches

Get only NEW results from a saved search since your last check. This is the incremental/delta endpoint for monitoring deal flow.

PREREQUISITE: You must subscribe to the saved search via Harmonic web UI first. Returns 404 if not subscribed.

What "net new" means: Returns companies/people that have NEWLY matched your search criteria since you subscribed (or since new_results_since date). For example, if your search looks for companies with >100 headcount, this returns companies that recently grew past 100.

Input:

• search_id: The saved search ID (get from harmonic_list_saved_searches)

• size: Number of results (default: 3, max: 5)

• cursor: Pagination cursor for more results

• new_results_since: Optional UTC datetime (e.g., 2024-09-21T00:00:00Z)

Response sizes: ~27KB per result (same as regular results)

Workflow:

1. Call this tool to get new matches

2. Process the results

3. Call harmonic_clear_saved_search_net_new to mark as "seen"

4. Repeat on your monitoring schedule

Use cases:

• Daily deal flow monitoring for investors

• Trigger deep research agents on new matches

• Alert on companies meeting investment criteria

Mark all net new results as "seen" so they won't appear in future calls to harmonic_get_saved_search_net_new_results.

When to use: Call this AFTER you've processed net new results to reset the queue. Future calls to harmonic_get_saved_search_net_new_results will only return results that become new matches after this point.

Input:

• search_id: The saved search ID

Workflow:

1. harmonic_get_saved_search_net_new_results → get new matches

2. Process/analyze the results

3. harmonic_clear_saved_search_net_new → mark as seen

4. Repeat on schedule
