Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
sieve_screen

Run a Sieve IMPACT-X Quick Screen on a startup.

Analyzes the company across 7 dimensions (Innovators, Market, Product, Advantage, Commerce, Traction, X-Factor) and returns an analysis ID. Takes 2-5 minutes to complete. Upserts -- if the company was previously screened, returns the existing deal (set confirm=true to re-screen).

Two ways to use:

  • v3 (recommended): First add documents with sieve_dataroom_add, then call sieve_screen(deal_id=...) to analyze everything in the data room.

  • v2 (legacy): Call sieve_screen(company_name=..., website_url=...) directly. At least one of website_url or pitch_deck_text is required in this mode.

Args: company_name: Name of the startup to screen (v2 flow, or to create new deal). deal_id: Screen an existing deal by ID (v3 flow -- use after sieve_dataroom_add). website_url: Company website URL (v2 flow). pitch_deck_text: Extracted pitch deck text (v2 flow). description: Brief company description (optional). confirm: Set to true to re-screen an existing deal.

sieve_status

Check the progress of a Sieve analysis.

Returns which IMPACT-X dimensions are complete with their scores, overall progress percentage, and current phase.

Args: deal_id: The deal ID returned by sieve_screen.

sieve_results

Get the full results of a completed Sieve analysis.

Returns the Sieve Score (0-140), meeting decision (Take Meeting/Pass/ Need More Info), executive summary, key strengths, and key concerns.

Args: deal_id: The deal ID returned by sieve_screen. sections: Comma-separated filter (e.g. 'summary,strengths,concerns'). Options: summary, profiles, findings, questions, strengths, concerns. Empty returns everything. Score and decision are always included.

sieve_usage

Check your Sieve API usage for the current billing period.

Shows screens used, monthly limit, tier, and organization name.

sieve_deals

List deals in your Sieve pipeline.

Search by company name or list all deals. Returns deal metadata including Sieve scores for screened deals.

Args: search: Search by company name (partial match). Empty returns all. limit: Maximum results to return (1-100, default 20).

sieve_memo

Get or generate an investment memo for a deal.

If generate=false (default), retrieves the existing memo. If generate=true, creates a new memo (~15-30 seconds). Requires a completed screen.

Args: deal_id: The deal ID (from sieve_deals or sieve_screen). generate: Set to true to generate a new memo. memo_type: 'internal' (IC-facing, full risks) or 'external' (founder-facing). Default: internal.

sieve_dataroom_add

Add a document to a deal's data room. Creates the deal if needed.

This is the primary way to get documents into Sieve for screening. Upload a pitch deck, financials, or any document -- then call sieve_screen to analyze everything in the data room.

Provide company_name to create a new deal (or find existing), or deal_id to add to an existing deal.

Provide exactly one content source: file_path (local file), text (raw text/markdown), or url (fetch from URL).

Args: title: Document title (e.g. "Pitch Deck Q1 2026"). company_name: Company name -- creates deal if new, finds existing if not. deal_id: Add to an existing deal (from sieve_deals or previous sieve_dataroom_add). website_url: Company website URL (used when creating a new deal). document_type: Type: 'pitch_deck', 'financials', 'legal', or 'other'. file_path: Path to a local file (PDF, DOCX, XLSX). The tool reads and uploads it. text: Raw text or markdown content (alternative to file). url: URL to fetch document from (alternative to file).

sieve_dataroom

List all documents in a deal's data room.

Shows what files and content have been uploaded for a deal, along with their processing status.

Args: deal_id: The deal ID (from sieve_deals or sieve_dataroom_add).
