What sec_company_lookup does on Tanod
AI agents call sec_company_lookup to retrieve information from Tanod without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
cik | object | — | SEC Central Index Key, 1-10 digits, as a number or a string (leading zeros and a CIK prefix allowed, such as 320193 or 0000320193). Send ticker or cik. |
ticker | object | — | Exchange ticker such as AAPL (class shares as BRK-B, BRK.B or BRK/B). Send ticker or cik. |
include_facts | boolean | — | Also return headline XBRL facts: latest annual revenue, net income and total assets (USD) and shares outstanding. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why sec_company_lookup is rated Low
Even though sec_company_lookup 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.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs sec_company_lookup safely

sec_company_lookup is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Tanod, apply this rule, and every sec_company_lookup call is checked against it from then on.
