Use these prompts when an agent needs to retrieve, organize, and cite public-company evidence. Choose the reader’s job, fill in the bracketed inputs, and ask for the filing record that lets another person reproduce the work.
SEC API returns public filing and market-derived data. A prompt can organize evidence; it cannot determine legal liability, suitability, underwriting terms, or investment merit.

Run one prompt with evidence

  1. Fill in the bracketed inputs, including the as-of date, issuer list, and output format.
  2. Have the agent call tools.describe when its client has not loaded the relevant schemas.
  3. Require the form, filing date, accession number, section or fact reference, and source URL beside every material statement.
  4. Re-open the cited filing before publishing, advising, trading, underwriting, or otherwise acting on a material conclusion.
  5. Stop for an authentication, validation, billing, quota, or capability error. For 429, honor Retry-After and reduce concurrency before one bounded retry.
Start with entities.resolve, then retrieve the filing or section that supports the answer. intelligence.query, factor analytics, and ownership data can focus a review, but they do not replace the underlying filing. See MCP workflows for the retrieval pattern and API conventions when you need a repeatable REST or SDK workflow.
