find_securities

Search for ETFs, funds, and securities using names, tickers, or identifiers.

Overview

The find_securities tool enables fuzzy search for ETFs, funds, and securities using names, tickers, identifiers, or themes. This tool is designed for securities-oriented lookups and returns the Knowledge Graph ID and security metadata for use in other Bigdata.com tools such as bigdata_etf_tearsheet.

Use this tool when searching for:

• ETFs and mutual funds by name or ticker
• Securities by company name or ticker (e.g., “Apple”, “Microsoft”)
• Securities with explicit framing (e.g., “Apple securities”, “Microsoft stock”)
• Securities by ISIN, CUSIP, or SEDOL
• Thematic ETFs (e.g., “dividend ETF”, “clean energy fund”)

Install the Bigdata plugin to guide your Agent in creating professional financial research reports using the Bigdata MCP tools.
