What this API does

Search the SEC's periodically updated company, ticker, CIK and exchange mapping and return bounded ranked candidates without silently selecting an ambiguous match. The output preserves ten-digit CIK strings, ticker, conformed company name, exchange and canonical EDGAR links, and explicitly states that the source mapping is not guaranteed complete or accurate.

Agents select this operation with tool ID sec.company-lookup, then inspect its current executable contract before a run.
