Get UK company profile from Companies House

company_uk_profile

Read-onlyIdempotent

Return the core registered profile of a UK company from the Companies House register: name, status with derived is_active and is_striking_off, type, jurisdiction, incorporation and cessation dates, SIC codes with their official UK SIC 2007 descriptions, registered office address, previous names, and the accounts and confirmation-statement summary. Use when: You have a UK company number and need the standard registered record. Not for: You only need to know if the company is active — use company.uk.status (cheaper). Price: USD 0.004/call (x402), 0.003 (account key).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`company_number`	Yes	Companies House company number, also called the company registration number (CRN). Accepted shapes are the register's own — 1-8 digits (zero-padded to 8, e.g. 445790 → 00445790), one letter + 7 digits (R0000001), two letters + 6 digits (SC002180, NI000001, OC123456, OE000001), or the registered-society suffix forms (two letters + 5 digits + 1 letter; two letters + 4 digits + 2 letters). Case-insensitive; surrounding whitespace is ignored (which is why maxLength is 10); internal spaces and punctuation are not accepted. Any other value (for example PROBE) is rejected as INVALID_INPUT before payment and before any upstream call.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0

Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint, and non-destructive behavior, so the bar is lower. The description adds useful context beyond annotations: it reveals that is_active and is_striking_off are derived fields, states pricing (USD 0.004/call), and implies no write side effects. This is more than minimal and contradicts nothing.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is front-loaded with the primary purpose and output scope, followed by usage conditions and pricing. The opening sentence is a long enumeration of returned fields, but each item helps an agent judge relevance. It is slightly verbose compared to a minimal two-sentence ideal, so it earns a 4 rather than 5.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the low parameter count, rich input schema, existing output schema, and the annotations covering safety, the description is nearly complete. It includes price, usage boundaries, and output highlights. The only minor gap is the tool-name typo in the alternative reference, which slightly reduces completeness for routing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% and the single parameter company_number is already documented in great detail, including accepted formats, case-insensitivity, whitespace handling, and INVALID_INPUT rejection. The tool description itself adds no parameter-level meaning beyond 'You have a UK company number', which is appropriate but not above the schema baseline.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description opens with a specific verb and resource ('Return the core registered profile of a UK company') and enumerates the exact data elements returned, distinguishing it clearly from more narrow sibling tools. It also explicitly names the alternative company_uk_status, making separation from siblings unambiguous.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides explicit 'Use when' and 'Not for' guidance, including a cost-based reason to prefer company_uk_status for simple active checks. However, the alternative is written as 'company.uk.status' rather than the actual sibling name 'company_uk_status', creating a minor ambiguity that prevents a perfect score.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

A4.4/5.0

Disambiguation4/5

Tools are largely distinct, targeting specific entities (UK company, US company, domain, LEI, FX, location, parcel, weather) or sub-aspects (e.g., accounts vs. charges vs. directors). Overlap exists between company.uk.profile and company.uk.status (both contain status info, but the latter is cheaper and focused). Also, company.uk.filings and company.us.filings_latest could be confused if an agent generalizes 'filings' across jurisdictions.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent pattern: domain_entity_subject (e.g., company_uk_accounts, domain_expiry, weather_us_alerts). Underscores and lower case are used throughout. Verbs are implied by the noun (e.g., 'search' for lookup, 'detect' for identification). No mixed conventions or unpredictable names.

Tool Count4/5

24 tools is on the high side but still reasonable for a general-purpose data server spanning multiple domains (company, domain, entity, fx, location, parcel, weather). Each domain gets a cohesive set, and the documentation justifies each tool. Could be slightly leaner if some niche tools (e.g., domain_expiry vs. registration) were merged, but overall scoping is acceptable.

Completeness4/5

Each domain offers good coverage: UK company tools cover CRUD-like operations (profile, status, search, filings, charges, directors, owners, registered office); similarly for US companies (profile, filings, resolve, latest filings). Weather has forecast, observation, alerts. Parcel only detects carrier (no tracking). Missing features like advanced filtering on company filings or less common domains, but core workflows are covered.
