WHAT IT DOES

What market_research_brief does on Mcp Knowledge

AI agents call market_research_brief to retrieve information from Mcp Knowledge 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
`geo`	string	—	Optional geography to scope the brief (country name, region, or continent — e.g. 'France', 'Southeast Asia')
`async`	boolean	—	If true, returns a job_id immediately (<200ms) instead of waiting for the result. Poll the result with job_result(job_id). Use for slow tools to avoid client ti
`topic`	string	Yes	Market or sector to research (e.g. 'electric vehicle batteries', 'B2B SaaS CRM Europe', 'telemedicine Africa')
`sector`	string	—	Optional parent sector to disambiguate the topic (e.g. 'healthcare', 'energy', 'software')

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
