# datasets_sec_companies_search

Search the SEC companies dataset. Searches SEC-reporting companies stored in a search index — normalized filing history, financial-statement rollups (latest annual/quarterly revenue, net income, total assets) and trailing-90-day insider (Form 3/4/5) activity. Sort enum: relevance, name_asc, revenue_desc, net_income_desc, filing_recent_desc, insider_activity_desc. entity_type, sic, sic_description, exchange, and state_of_incorporation are open filters over the exact values EDGAR reports for each filer (not a fixed enum) — discover real values via the matching facet.

## Why datasets_sec_companies_search is rated Low

Even though datasets_sec_companies_search 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: High parameter count (19 properties)

## Use case

AI agents call datasets_sec_companies_search 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_search": {}
  }
}
```
