Entity-axis navigation primitive — an orientation map for one company.
Returns a single response containing identity (incl. CIK), the text-extracted filing inventory by form type (the subset with extracted section text — NOT the company's full SEC filing history; use list_filings for the complete registry incl. filed-but-unextracted rows), **signal availability inline**, indexed range, and ranked drill-down pointers — so one call tells you which signals fire for the company and which axis to descend next (signal-axis, source-axis, or metric-axis). Accepts a ticker, a company name, or a CIK, so it also resolves the entity.
Compared with search_companies: that one is the resolver — it matches a name or partial name across companies and carries the SEC EDGAR entity link, filer_type, fiscal year-end and former names. Use it to pick between candidates; use this when you already know the company and want its inventory.
**When to use:**
- Starting a research thread on a single company
- Confirming what data MetricDuck has indexed before deep-diving
- Discovering which signals fire (M&A, partnerships, guidance shifts, accounting flags) without needing to fetch a filing first
**When NOT to use:**
- Cross-company screening → use
screen_companies(metrics) orscreen_filing_signals(signals) - Concept/theme discovery → use
search_sec_filings
**Drill-down map (the response will recommend specific calls based on what's available):**

Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | Company name, ticker, or 10-digit zero-padded CIK. Accepts free-text fuzzy match like 'US Steel' or 'AAPL'. For delisted companies, prefer the CIK. |
| include_delisted | boolean | no | Include delisted companies among FUZZY candidates (ticker-prefix / name matches). Default false. A delisted company always resolves by its exact ticker, former ticker, or CIK regardless of this flag — prefer the CIK for delisted companies. |
