Tool reference

Your AI selects these on its own from your requests, so this page is for understanding what it can reach and what each call costs. Reading tools are free, up to a daily allowance of 1,000 calls on the Free plan, 10,000 on Analyst, and 30,000 on Pro. Analysis tools spend the same credits the SECSift reader does, from the same balance, and every result carries SECSift links to the source.

Find a company or filing

search_companies Free

Find a filer by ticker, company name, or CIK. Takes query, and returns matches with a link to each company's filings.

list_filings Free

A company's filings, organized the same way they are on SECSift, from Financials and News to Proxies and Ownership. Takes ident, a ticker or CIK, and an optional include_all for the full list. Each filing carries the accession number the other tools take.

Read a filing

filing_overview Free

A filing's shape before you read it, with its sections and their ids, its word count, and how many tables it holds. Takes ident and an optional accession. Leave the accession off for the latest filing.

get_section Free

One section's full text, with its tables inline. Takes ident, accession, and section, which can be an id, an item number like 1A, or part of the label. Long sections page through offset. Pass routine as skip to drop the boilerplate text, or only to see just the boilerplate, using the same routine-text grading the reader's fade feature uses.

list_tables Free

Every table in the filing, with its number, the section it sits in, its headers, and its size. Takes ident and accession.

get_table Free

One table as a clean grid, with its scale noted. Takes ident, accession, and the table's n from list_tables.

merge_tables Paid plans

The same table across filings, with rows lined up by their labels so the periods sit side by side. Takes ident, 2 to 6 accessions newest first, and the table's n in the first one. The match is by content, so it holds up even when a table moves or changes shape between filings. Included with Analyst and Pro, like merge on the site.

Compare filings

compare_filings Free

What changed between two filings of the same form, matched by content rather than position. Returns counts of new, changed, and removed passages, with samples of each and links. Takes ident, accession, and prior_accession.

Analyze and ask

sift_section 3 credits

Sift's review of one section, with a read or skim verdict, why, a short synthesis, and the positive, notable, and concern flags anchored to exact passages. Takes ident, accession, and section. A section you already paid to Sift, here or on the site, runs again free.

sift_filing 3 to 10 credits

A full Sift run over every section, priced by length the same way the site's Run Sift is, from 3 credits under 2,000 words to 6 under 15,000 and 10 for a full report. Returns every verdict, synthesis, flag, and count. Takes ident and accession. A large filing takes about a minute. A filing you already paid to Sift, here or on the site, runs again free.

ask_passage 2 credits

An answer about one passage, grounded in it. Takes ident, accession, question, and the passage text, which your AI pastes from get_section.

ask_filing 3 credits

SECSift's Ask this filing. A question answered from the whole document, with citations linked to the exact passages. Takes ident, accession, question, and an optional history to keep a conversation going. Your AI can always read sections itself with the free tools; this is for questions that need the entire filing considered at once. It's the one analysis tool with no model option, matching the reader's Ask this filing, which always runs on a single model at a flat rate.

Insider forms

Ownership filings, Forms 3, 4, and 5, work through the same reading tools, and ask_filing knows the insider's trade history at that company when it answers about one.

Note: Costs above are per call on the Standard model. sift_section, sift_filing, and ask_passage take an optional model of standard, pro, or max, the same tiers as the reader: Pro multiplies the credit cost by 10 and Max by 30, and both need a paid plan. Every charged call returns your remaining balance.
