Captured live from the server via tools/list.

search_companies

Search AskCyborg's corpus of company research by name or industry keyword. Returns up to N matches with company name, Cyborg Score, one-line strategic profile, and the URL to the full preview report. Use this first when the user mentions a company you want to research, or to discover companies in a category.

Parameters (2)

querystringrequired
Company name (e.g. 'OpenAI', 'Stripe'), partial name, or industry keyword (e.g. 'semiconductor', 'biotech').
limitinteger
Max results to return. Default 10, max 25.

get_company_report

Retrieve AskCyborg's structured research report for a single company. Includes executive summary, Cyborg Score with rationale, strategic profile, top insights, competitive positioning, and recent developments. Returns a paywall-aware summary; the full 30-page report and analyst-debate audio are available at the returned URL.

Parameters (1)

companystringrequired
Company name or ticker (e.g. 'OpenAI', 'AAPL', 'SpaceX'). Slug form accepted (e.g. 'openai').

get_cyborg_score

Retrieve just the Cyborg Score (1-10) for a company. The Cyborg Score is AskCyborg's proprietary rating, synthesized from hundreds of data points across business model, financials, leadership, competitive position, technology, marketing, and ESG. Use this when the user wants a quick rating without the full report context.

Parameters (1)

companystringrequired
Company name or ticker.

compare_companies

Compare 2-5 companies side by side on Cyborg Score, industry, key insights, and competitive positioning. Useful for portfolio decisions, M&A short-listing, or competitive analysis.

Parameters (1)

companiesarrayrequired
List of 2-5 company names or slugs to compare.

find_competitors

Find the named competitors of a company that AskCyborg's analyst panel identified as material to the target's strategic position. Returns each competitor with the one-line strategic tagline AskCyborg uses to characterize them. Useful for competitive landscape analysis, M&A short-listing, or pricing reference checks.

Parameters (1)

companystringrequired
Company name, ticker, or slug (e.g. 'OpenAI', 'AAPL', 'spacex').

search_by_industry

Find companies in AskCyborg's corpus that operate in a specific industry. Returns up to N companies with their Cyborg Score and one-line strategic profile, ranked by Cyborg Score. Use this for sector mapping, comparable analysis, or to discover companies you didn't know existed in a space.

Parameters (2)

industrystringrequired
Industry name or keyword (e.g. 'semiconductor', 'fintech', 'biotech', 'enterprise SaaS', 'aerospace').
limitinteger
Max results to return. Default 10, max 25.

get_recent_developments

Retrieve the most recent material developments (news, deals, leadership changes, product launches, financial events) that AskCyborg's analyst panel flagged as decision-relevant for this company. Each entry is dated and concise. Use this for news catch-up before a meeting, for monitoring portfolio companies, or to spot recent strategic shifts.

Parameters (1)

companystringrequired
Company name, ticker, or slug.

get_top_insights

Retrieve just the top analyst-debate insights for a company — the punchiest, decision-relevant claims that AskCyborg's analyst panel surfaced after stress-testing the company. Faster and more focused than get_company_report when you just need 'what should I know about this company in 60 seconds'.

Parameters (1)

companystringrequired
Company name, ticker, or slug.
