Example agent prompt

“any material 8-K filings today on small-cap healthcare? show me item 2.02 earnings releases.”

Why this exists

EDGAR full-text search is slow and full of noise. This tool subscribes to the EDGAR feed in real-time, parses item codes from each 8-K, filters to material events only, extracts the headline + first 500 chars of exhibit 99 (the actual press release).

Pairs naturally with insider_buy_clusters — when insiders cluster-buy + ticker drops material 8-K within hours, conviction stacks.

Free tier

Today’s material 8-Ks, 10 results. Good for daily morning scan.
