## Changes things (2)

Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask.

### `benchmark_company`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Benchmark ONE company against its size-class cohort: headline metrics, percentile
        ranks and the nearest peers. Read-only.

        Parameters:
        - company_id (required): "AT:{fnr}" (bare FNR accepted). Austria only (needs parsed
          financials); a German id returns a clear error.
        - n (optional, default 10): how many nearest peers to return.

        Returns the AT backend's benchmark payload plus ``country`` and the prefixed
        ``company_id``: headline figures, ``percentiles`` within the UGB size class, and the
        nearest peers with a recency note. For a cross-border meaning-based peer set use
        find_peers with cross_border=true.
        
```

### `export_companies_csv`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Export a matched company set as downloadable CSV files (lead lists). Read-only
        over company data; each call writes new short-lived export files (auto-deleted
        after ~1 day).

        Parameters:
        - filters (optional): EXACTLY the same unified filters as search_companies.
        - sort (optional): same as search_companies (applies where the country supports
          the field).
        - max_rows (optional, default 1000, max 10000): per-country row ceiling.
        - country (optional, default "all"): "AT" | "DE" | "all".

        Returns {countries: {<code>: {download_url, rows, columns, ...}}, notices}. ONE
        CSV per country (semicolon-separated, UTF-8 BOM, Excel-ready): each register
        exports its own column set - DE files have no financial columns yet (blank would
        wrongly read as zero). Download links are signed and valid ~60 minutes. A filter a
        country does not support excludes that country with a notice, like
        search_companies. For browsing/ranking on screen use search_companies instead.
        
```

## Only reads (17)

Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow.

### `describe_fields`

- The name "describe_fields" says "describe": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Schema self-description: the unified id scheme, which filters exist, which
        countries support which capability, and each country's own field catalog. Read-only.

        Parameters:
        - country (optional, default "all"): "AT" | "DE" | "all" - whose field catalogs to
          include.

        Returns {id_scheme, capabilities, countries, countries_unavailable}. ``id_scheme``
        documents the unified company_id ("AT:123456a", "DE:D2601_HRB135076"; bare national
        ids are accepted, responses always return the prefixed form). ``capabilities`` is
        the per-country capability matrix including each country's supported unified
        filters - a filter absent for a country is applied to the others and reported in a
        notice, never silently dropped. ``countries`` carries each backend's own
        describe_fields payload (code tables, null rules, tool tiers). Call once up front
        when unsure which filter or tool to use; it returns no company data itself.
        
```

### `find_peers`

- The name "find_peers" says "find": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Companies most similar to a given one - optionally ACROSS THE BORDER. Read-only.

        Parameters:
        - company_id (required): "AT:{fnr}" or "DE:{court}_{type}{number}" (bare national
          ids accepted), from a search card.
        - n (optional, default 10): how many peers per country.
        - cross_border (optional, default false): when true, additionally returns
          ``peers_abroad`` - the companies in the OTHER country whose registered purpose
          is semantically closest to the reference company's activity text.

        Returns {company_id, country, peers_home, home_envelope, peers_abroad?, notes}.
        ``peers_home`` uses the home register's own peer logic (AT: same size class,
        same industry preferred, nearest by Bilanzsumme; DE: semantic-first by registered
        purpose). ``peers_abroad`` is a MEANING-based match, not a size or financial
        benchmark - the honest cross-border comparison given the countries' different
        data depth (see notes). Empty peers_home means the id is unknown or the company
        lacks the data its register ranks by. For a strict filtered list use
        search_companies; for aggregates use the country server's cohort tools.
        
```

### `get_cohort_summary`

- The name "get_cohort_summary" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Aggregate statistics for a cohort of companies, per country. Read-only.

        Parameters:
        - dimension (required): "gkl" (UGB size class, AT only), "bundesland", or
          "legal_form" (alias size_gkl -> gkl).
        - value (required): the cohort value (e.g. bundesland "Wien", legal_form "GmbH").
        - country (optional, default "all"): "AT" | "DE" | "all".

        Returns {countries, dimension, value, per_country, notices}. ``bundesland`` and
        ``legal_form`` fan out to every supporting country; ``gkl`` is Austrian-only (no German
        size-class facet) and excludes DE with a notice. Each country's own cohort payload sits
        under ``per_country`` (the registers aggregate different metrics, so they are reported
        side by side, not force-merged). For one company use get_company_details; for a filtered
        list use search_companies.
        
```

### `get_company_details`

- The name "get_company_details" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full profile for ONE company, routed by its unified id. Read-only.

        Parameters:
        - company_id (required): "AT:{fnr}" (e.g. "AT:123456a") or
          "DE:{court}_{type}{number}" (e.g. "DE:D2601_HRB135076"); bare national ids are
          accepted too. Take it from a search card's ``company_id``.
        - max_signatories (optional, DE only): cap on the served officer list (DE default
          15, 0 = all); ignored for AT.

        Returns the country backend's full profile plus ``country`` and the prefixed
        ``company_id``. AT: identity, location, per-year Bilanz + GuV, ratios, growth,
        filings, management, events. DE: identity, seat, Stammkapital, Gegenstand, WZ/NACE
        classification, managing directors (birth year only) - German financial statements
        are not covered yet, so never report them as zero or missing. Unknown id ->
        {error: not_found}. Use search_companies first when you only have a name.
        
```

### `get_company_history`

- The name "get_company_history" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Per-year financial-metric history for ONE company, routed by its unified id.
        Read-only.

        Parameters:
        - company_id (required): "AT:{fnr}" or "DE:{court}_{type}{number}" (bare national ids
          accepted), from a search card.
        - metrics (optional, AT only): names of the metrics to return (e.g. bilanzsumme,
          umsatzerloese, equity_ratio); omitted = all. Ignored for DE.

        Returns the backend's history payload plus ``country`` and the prefixed
        ``company_id``: per-metric {year: value} with latest/latest_year. AT serves the parsed
        Bilanz/GuV/ratio series. DE serves the parsed Jahresabschluss series where the company
        has filed and its Bundesland is loaded; an empty series means not-filed or not-yet-
        loaded, never zero (see get_company_details financials.reporting_status). For a single
        snapshot use get_company_details; for the complete record use get_full_record.
        
```

### `get_coverage`

- The name "get_coverage" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Dataset coverage and the capability matrix, per country. Read-only.
        CALL THIS FIRST before concluding that something does not exist in a country.

        Parameters:
        - country (optional, default "all"): "AT" | "DE" | "all" - which countries to include.

        Returns {countries: {<code>: <that backend's coverage payload>}, capabilities,
        countries_unavailable}. Each country section is the country backend's own coverage
        dashboard (AT: parsed-financials counts by format/status; DE: per-Bundesland counts
        + fill rates - the DE backfill is still running, so a low count means "not crawled
        yet", not "does not exist"). ``capabilities`` is the machine-readable matrix of what
        each country supports (financials, documents, events windows, filters); a country
        that cannot be reached appears under ``countries_unavailable`` with the error
        instead of failing the whole call. For valid filter values use describe_fields;
        for per-company data use search_companies.
        
```

### `get_document`

- The name "get_document" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
On-demand official register document for ONE German company. Read-only.

        Parameters:
        - company_id (required): "DE:{court}_{type}{number}" (e.g. "DE:D2601_HRB135076"); a bare
          German id works too. Austria is not supported here (its document flow is different).
        - kind (optional): "AD" = Aktueller Abdruck (current register extract, default) or
          "CD" = Chronologischer Abdruck -- the official Handelsregister abstract PDF; or
          "JA" = Jahresabschluss -- the company's newest official annual financial statement as
          published by the Unternehmensregister (served as the official HTML document, no PDF exists
          at the source).

        Returns a short-lived download link: {company_id, kind, url, bytes, cached, available,
        source, expires_at, expires_in_seconds} (plus year, stichtag for "JA"). AD/CD are fetched
        from handelsregister.de on demand (first call ~10 s, then cached); JA is served from the
        stored official publication. When the register holds nothing for that kind, ``available``
        is false with a ``note`` (never a dead link). A non-DE id returns an error.
        
```

### `get_document_text`

- The name "get_document_text" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Extracted text of ONE Austrian filing document, by its document key. Read-only.

        Parameters:
        - doc_key (required): the document_ref from list_documents (an Austrian filing key).
        - max_chars (optional, default 40000, clamped 1000-120000): truncation ceiling.

        Returns {doc_key, text, truncated, ...} with the filing's Stichtag for citation.
        Austria only today. Use list_documents to discover the key; for the German official
        register abstract use get_document.
        
```

### `get_event_stats`

- The name "get_event_stats" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Aggregate counts of register changes by type and region, per country. Read-only.

        Parameters (all optional): since / until (default last 30 days); bundesland;
        nace_section; nace_division (AT); legal_form (AT); country ("AT" | "DE" | "all").

        Returns {countries, per_country, windows, notices}, each country's block being its
        own {total, by_type, by_bundesland}. Only AT exposes event statistics today; DE is
        reported in notices as not yet available (never as zero). For the individual
        changes use list_events.
        
```

### `get_full_record`

- The name "get_full_record" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The complete multi-year record for ONE company: every balance-sheet and P&L
        position's full per-year history, completeness flags and lineage. Read-only. The
        heaviest read - use get_company_details for a normal profile.

        Parameters:
        - company_id (required): "AT:{fnr}" (bare FNR accepted). Austria only today; a German
          id returns a clear error (Germany does not serve a full parsed record yet).

        Returns the AT backend's full-record payload plus ``country`` and the prefixed
        ``company_id``. Includes unknown-code passthrough and the filing years covered.
        
```

### `get_my_usage`

- The name "get_my_usage" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Your own API-key usage across both registers: call count and weighted
        compute-units, per tool. Read-only.

        Parameters:
        - window (optional, default "today"): "today" | "yesterday" | "month_to_date" |
          "last_30_days" | "all".

        Returns only the calling key's own usage (totals + per-tool breakdown) for that
        window - never another user's data and never the email behind the key. One meter
        spans AT and DE, since the facade is the single billing point. Use it to check your
        consumption against the plan's rate limits.
        
```

### `list_documents`

- The name "list_documents" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Chronology of a company's filing documents (metadata, newest first). Read-only.

        Parameters:
        - company_id (required): "AT:{fnr}" (bare FNR accepted). Austria only; for the German
          official register abstract use get_document with a "DE:" id instead.

        Returns the AT backend's document list plus ``country`` and the prefixed
        ``company_id``: each entry has type, Stichtag, financial_year, document_ref, format and
        whether it was parsed. Feed a document_ref to get_document_text for the extracted text.
        
```

### `list_events`

- The name "list_events" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Cross-company, cross-country feed of register CHANGES, newest first - the
        market-watch / deal-sourcing surface. Read-only.

        Parameters (all optional, AND-combined):
        - types: any of the SUPERSET enum - founding, new_registration, deletion,
          deletion_announced, name_change, seat_change, legal_form_change, capital_change,
          management_change, management_join, management_leave, gegenstand_change, merger,
          split, conversion, contribution, consolidation, division,
          shareholder_capital_change. Each country's feed carries a SUBSET; a type not in
          a country's feed is skipped for that country (reported in notices), and a
          country with none of the requested types is excluded. Note new_registration (DE,
          a discovery date) and founding (AT, a register event) are distinct - see
          describe_fields.
        - since / until: ISO dates. Default window: last 30 days.
        - bundesland: full state name.
        - nace_section (A-U, both countries); nace_division (AT only); legal_form (AT only).
        - company_ids: prefixed watchlist; AT filters the whole list, DE filters ONE id at
          a time (pass a single DE id, or query DE separately).
        - country: "AT" | "DE" | "all" (default). page (1), page_size (25).

        Returns {countries, events, per_country, windows, notices}. ``events`` are merged
        newest-first, each with ``country`` and a prefixed ``company_id``; AT events add
        before/after values only for the detailed types. ``windows`` states each country's
        data availability (AT: detailed >= 2026-07-01, coarse >= ~2020; DE: >= 2026-07-30)
        so an empty stretch is never mistaken for missing data. For aggregate counts use
        get_event_stats; for one company's history use get_company_details.
        
```

### `list_sectors`

- The name "list_sectors" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The value lists for filtering - legal forms, size classes - and, with a query word,
        the matching OENACE sectors with the exact nace_* filter to use. Read-only.

        Parameters:
        - query (optional): a category word (e.g. "Brauerei", "software"); returns ``matches``
          with each sector's level, code, label and the nace_* filter value for search_companies.
          Omitted: the legal-form and size-class value lists with counts.

        Served from the Austrian backend; the industry codes are OENACE == WZ == NACE Rev. 2,
        identical for both countries, so a resolved code also filters the German register. The
        value lists and counts themselves are Austrian (a notice says so). It returns no company
        data - call it once up front to resolve a filter value.
        
```

### `ping`

- The name "ping" says "ping": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Liveness probe: confirms the unified register server is up. Read-only.

        Parameters:
        - check_backends (optional, default false): when true, additionally performs a
          cheap connection handshake against every configured country backend and reports
          per-country reachability ("ok" / "unreachable").

        Returns {status, server, countries, provenance} - countries maps each configured
        country code to its backend product name and, with check_backends, its live
        reachability. Use get_coverage for data completeness; this tool only says whether
        the service is up.
        
```

### `search_companies`

- The name "search_companies" says "search": a word for reading.
- Findings: info long-description

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find companies across the Austrian Firmenbuch and the German Handelsregister -
        START HERE for any company lookup. Read-only.

        Parameters:
        - filters (optional): every field optional, AND-combined. Shared core (both
          countries): name (substring), query (MEANING-based hybrid search over the
          registered purpose - both countries), status (active|inactive|all, default all),
          legal_form, bundesland, city, postal_code (prefix; AT PLZ 4-digit, DE 5-digit),
          near {place | postal_code, radius_km} (radius search, matches from EVERY queried
          country within the radius - works across the border), nace_section (A-U; OENACE
          == WZ == NACE Rev. 2, so one industry code filters both countries), gegenstand
          (literal substring over the registered activity text), manager_name (person
          search), company_ids (prefixed watchlist, e.g. ["AT:123456a",
          "DE:D2601_HRB135076"], max 100). AT-only today (see describe_fields
          capabilities): nace_division/group, size_gkl, bilanzsumme/revenue/equity_ratio/
          employees ranges, growth_profile, has_guv(_latest), last_filing_year_min,
          founded_year_min/max, gf_age_min, event_signal/since/until. DE-only:
          registergericht, capital_min/max (Stammkapital). Country aliases
          (geschaeftszweig, oenace_*, wz_section, fnrs, stammkapital_*) are accepted.
        - sort (optional): {field, descending}. AT fields: bilanzsumme (default), revenue,
          equity_ratio, employees, last_filing_year, revenue_growth_1y/3y/5y, distance.
          DE fields: name, register_nummer, capital. A country that cannot sort by the
          requested field returns its default order (reported in notices).
        - page (default 1), page_size (default 25).
        - after (optional): KEYSET paging for bulk extraction - single country only
          (cursors are per register). Pass "" to start, then the country's next_after
          from per_country.
        - exact_count (optional, default false): force exact totals (costs a full scan).
        - country (optional, default "all"): "AT" | "DE" | "all".

        Returns {countries, total: {AT, DE, combined}, results, per_country, notices}.
        ``results`` are compact cards, each with ``country`` and the prefixed
        ``company_id``; with country="all" the list is AT block then DE block - each
        country keeps its own ranking (no fake interleave). ``per_country`` carries each
        register's own envelope (exact totals or lower bounds, applied_filters,
        relaxations on zero hits, query_mode, next_after). A filter one country does not
        support excludes that country and says so in ``notices`` - it is never silently
        dropped; an unreachable backend appears in ``countries_unavailable`` instead of
        failing the call. Never report a German company's financials as zero - DE
        financial data is not covered yet (see get_coverage).

        For one company's full profile use get_company_details; for a downloadable list
        use export_companies_csv; for dataset completeness use get_coverage.
        
```

### `search_person`

- The name "search_person" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find every company a person runs or represents - across BOTH registers in one
        call (cross-border person search). Read-only.

        Parameters:
        - name (required): person name substring, case-insensitive, e.g. "Mustermann".
        - country (optional, default "all"): "AT" | "DE" | "all".
        - page_size (optional, default 25): results per country.
        - status (optional, default "all"): "active" | "inactive" | "all".

        Returns the merged search_companies envelope ({countries, results, per_country,
        notices}) plus ``person_query``; every result card carries ``country``,
        ``company_id`` and the matched manager. AT matches the primary managing director,
        DE matches all managing directors AND registered signatories. IMPORTANT: matching
        is by name and the registers publish birth YEAR only - a shared name across
        companies or countries does not prove the same person (the notice says so; use
        birth years and context to corroborate). For general company search use
        search_companies with other filters; manager_name can be combined there too.
