Companies

These tools find companies and assemble what DealTraq knows about them. All of them are read-only.

search_companies

Read · Cost 2

Finds companies whose name, website, description, source, or founder names contain your search text (case-insensitive). Results are sorted by name and include each company's stage.

Notes

• This is a text match, not a pipeline query. To list everyone in a stage, your assistant uses list_companies_in_pipeline_stage.

Example: Find Acme in DealTraq.

get_company

Read · Cost 5

Returns a company's current record: description, website and links, stage, lead, team assignments, founders, primary contacts, source, custom fields, and when it was last updated. It does not read files or meetings; for research, your assistant uses get_company_research_context.

Notes

• The returned updatedAt is needed by write tools that protect against overwriting newer changes, such as propose_company_changes.

Example: Who is the lead on Acme and what stage is it in?

get_company_research_context

Read · Cost 7

The starting point for diligence on one company. Returns the company record plus a complete inventory of its files and meetings, a ready-made read request for every readable file and transcript, and explicit gaps for anything that cannot be read. It also lists up to 10 linked Research Scout programs and points to any research saved with earlier votes.

Notes

• Follow nextRequest until the inventory's coverage.complete is true, then follow each entry in evidenceReadRequests.
• Unreadable items (for example, files stored with an external provider, or meetings without a transcript) are listed with an unavailableReason rather than silently skipped.
• discoveryProgramRequest continues the Research Scout program list; retainedResearchRequest opens saved vote research.

Example: Review Acme's deck and latest meetings, and list the unresolved diligence questions.

list_company_research_submissions

Read · Cost 3

Lists research reports that were saved together with Inbox votes on a company, newest first. Each item includes when it was submitted, the vote it supported, its number of sources, and a readRequest to open the full report. These reports were written by AI agents and are not verified by DealTraq.

Example: What research was submitted with earlier votes on Acme?

read_company_research_submission

Read · Cost 5

Reads one saved research report in full: the original Markdown report, its cited sources and excerpts, the gaps it listed, and who submitted it through which AI client. Any summaries are returned separately. Everything in the report is unverified; this tool does not fetch the cited URLs or change any company data or notes.

Example: Open the research behind my upvote on Acme and check which claims are unsourced.
