Overview

The bigdata_search tool enables similarity search using the Bigdata Search Service.
Install the Financial Research Analyst skill to guide your Agent in creating professional financial research reports using the Bigdata MCP tools.

Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
search_textstringYesNatural-language search query for financial and business content.
max_chunksintNoMaximum number of chunks to retrieve. Default is 10.

Usage Monitoring

The tool bigdata_search consumes API Query Units in the same way as the Search Service API. You can monitor the organization`s usage in the Developer Platform > Usage

Example
