search_research_entities

Search research entities by name or approximate name. Use this tool whenever a user refers to an entity by name and a research entity UUID is needed. Results are ranked by match quality and include the research entity UUIDs required by other research tools. When multiple results are returned, review the entity name, description, match type, match confidence, and available research count to determine the most appropriate entity before using its entity_uuid in another tool. This tool only searches existing research entities and does not create or modify data.

Parameters2

query	string	required	The entity name or approximate entity reference to search for.
limit	integer	optional	Maximum number of results to return. Minimum 1, maximum 50, default 10.

read_research_author

Read a single research author by author UUID. Use this tool when a user wants profile details for a specific research author returned by another research tool. The response includes author metadata, biography fields, profile URL, and visible sectors associated with the author. Missing, inactive, non-author, and hidden-sector-only authors return a generic not-found error.

Parameters1

author_uuid

string

required

The stable UUID of the research author to read. Use an author_uuid returned by another research tool.

  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "author_uuid": {
      "type": "string",

    }
  },
  "required": [
    "author_uuid"
  ],
  "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema"
}

search_research_posts

Search published research posts associated with one or more research entities. This tool requires research entity UUIDs. If only entity names are known, first call search_research_entities to obtain candidate research entities and their UUIDs. Use only entity_uuid values copied exactly from search_research_entities results. Never infer, guess, construct, or transform UUIDs from entity names. Use this tool only after selecting the most appropriate research entity from the search_research_entities results. Examples: - To find research about "United States", first call search_research_entities with "United States", review the returned matches, select the most appropriate entity, and then call this tool with the selected entity_uuid. - To find recent research about multiple entities, pass all selected entity_uuid values in research_entity_uuids. - To retrieve the next page of results, pass the previous response's next_cursor as cursor. Results can be filtered by publication date and retrieved using cursor-based pagination.

Parameters7

research_entity_uuids	array	required	One or more research entity UUIDs to search against. This field is required. At least one research entity UUID must be supplied. Do not pass entity names. If the user provides entity names rather than UUIDs, first call the "search_research_entities" tool and use the returned UUIDs from that tool.
published_before	string	optional	Only return posts published before this date and time (ISO 8601 format).
published_after	string	optional	Only return posts published after this date and time (ISO 8601 format).
order	string	optional	Sort results by publication time. Use 'published_descending' for newest first or 'published_ascending' for oldest first. Default is published_descending.
limit	integer	optional	Maximum number of posts to return. Minimum 1, maximum 50, default 25.
cursor	string	optional	Pagination cursor returned by a previous response. Use this to retrieve the next page of results.
count_total_results	boolean	optional	Whether to include the total number of matching posts. Use false unless the total count is specifically needed. Calculating the total count may increase response time for large result sets.

read_research_post

Read a single published research post by post UUID. Use this tool after calling search_research_posts and selecting the most relevant result. The response includes post metadata, authors, sectors, body HTML, and a URL. Depending on the authenticated MCP user's permissions, the body HTML and URL may expose either the full research post or teaser content. Missing, unpublished, and hidden-sector posts return a generic not-found error.

Parameters1

post_uuid

string

required

The stable UUID of the research post to read. Use a post_uuid returned by search_research_posts.
