Find Companies

Search the Economic Mind company index and return the ranked matches as-is, so the user can browse before pulling financials.

When this fires

The user wants to discover or look up companies by name, description, industry, or geography. They are not yet asking for financials or a comparison — that is company-financials and compare-companies.

Procedure

1. Call the search_companies MCP tool.

   • queries: a single-element array with the user's phrase, trimmed — e.g. ["Norwegian aquaculture"]. (Pass several phrases at once only if the user asked about multiple distinct things.)
   • limit: default 10. Raise toward 25 (cap 50) if the user asks for "many" or "all".

2. Read results (one entry per query). For each query's hits, present a Markdown table, preserving the returned order (already sorted by relevance). Columns:

   • Company — companyName
   • ID — companyId
   • HQ — headquarters (blank if absent)
   • What they do — summary (blank if absent; only modelled companies have one)
   • Relevance — score (blank if absent)

3. After the table, offer the next step:

   To pull financials for any of these, say "show financials for [name]" or give me the company ID.

Rules

• Show the ranked list as returned — do not drop rows, re-rank, paraphrase, or editorialise.
• If a query returns zero hits, say so plainly. Do not invent matches.
• If the request is ambiguous (e.g. "find Mars"), still search with the literal phrase; the result table surfaces the ambiguity for the user to resolve.
