# datasets_sec_companies_financials

Get a SEC company's financial-statement history. Returns a company's normalized financial-statement history (income statement, balance sheet, cash flow) from the SEC companies dataset, newest fiscal year first. An unknown CIK or a company with no XBRL data returns an empty series rather than a 404 — most filers without a current ticker have no financial-statement history at all. lines keys are the same normalized concept names the live /sec/financials endpoint uses (e.g. revenue, net_income, total_assets); ratios keys include gross_margin, operating_margin, net_margin, revenue_growth_yoy, current_ratio, debt_to_equity, free_cash_flow where derivable. statement enum: income, balance, cash_flow. period enum: annual, quarterly.

## Why datasets_sec_companies_financials is rated Low

Even though datasets_sec_companies_financials only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Risk signals: Accepts freeform code/query input (statement)

## Use case

AI agents call datasets_sec_companies_financials to retrieve information from Crawlora without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Crawlora:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "datasets_sec_companies_financials": {}
  }
}
```
