Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| lookup_advisorA | Look up a registered investment advisor by their CRD number. Returns regulatory data from SEC IAPD: employment history, registrations, exams, designations, disclosures, and risk scoring. IMPORTANT: When presenting results to users, always include ALL returned data — especially employment_history (shows career timeline and actual office location), designations (professional credentials), exams (indicates years of experience from earliest exam date), and registrations (licensed states). Calculate years of experience from the earliest exam or employment date. If the user asks for a 'full profile', also do a web search to find the advisor's practice name, team, awards, and specializations. |
| search_advisorsA | Search for investment advisors by name, state, or firm. Name can be a full name like 'Joseph Montgomery' or just a last name like 'Montgomery'. After finding results, use lookup_advisor with the CRD number to get the full profile. If no results found, suggest the user check FINRA BrokerCheck and SEC IAPD directly — links are provided in the response. |
| verify_advisorA | Quick verification check for an investment advisor. Returns active status, current firm, disclosure summary, risk score, and recommendation. Use this for a quick yes/no safety check. For full details use lookup_advisor instead. |
| get_risk_profileB | Get a detailed risk assessment for an investment advisor including risk score, risk factors with severity levels, and recommendation. |
| get_firm_infoB | Get information about an investment advisory firm including advisor count, disclosure rates, and statistics. |
| get_database_statsA | Get overall statistics about the SEC advisor database including total advisors, active count, firms, disclosure rates, and top states. |

TDQS
Scored across 6 tools
Tools are mostly distinct: database stats, firm info, search, and various advisor detail levels (quick verify, risk profile, full lookup). Some overlap exists between get_risk_profile, lookup_advisor, and verify_advisor, but their descriptions clearly differentiate them.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case (get_database_stats, lookup_advisor, etc.), making them predictable and easy to understand.
With 6 tools, the server is well-scoped for an advisor lookup service—covering overview, firm info, search, full details, quick check, and risk assessment without being excessive.
The tool set covers key query types (overview, firm, search, detailed advisor info, quick check, risk). Minor gap: no direct method for a 'full profile' with web-based info, but the search tool includes instructions for that.
