Use this tool when the user asks BOTH what a financial figure is AND which filing reported it — e.g. "What was Apple's most recently reported revenue, and which 10-Q filed it?" or "Show me the accession ID for Tesla's latest net income." Returns a single fact plus its complete filing provenance: entity, concept, period, value, accession ID, filing URL, and form type (10-K, 10-Q, etc.). Use this INSTEAD OF `search_companies` when the user already names a company and wants a financial figure with its source filing — `search_companies` only resolves identifiers and returns no financial data. Use this INSTEAD OF `get_company_fundamentals` when the user explicitly wants the filing/form type or the accession ID — `get_company_fundamentals` returns metrics across periods but omits filing provenance. Two lookup modes: (1) by fact_id (deterministic SHA-256 identity) or (2) by concept name plus a ticker (most recently reported fact). Optionally pin a point-in-time cutoff via as_of_date (YYYY-MM-DD) — returns the latest filing accepted by SEC on or before that date (no look-ahead); check `_meta.pit_safe`. DURATION: a single 10-K tags BOTH a 12-month figure and a 3-month Q4 stub at the same period_end; on a tie this returns the longer (headline) window, and every result carries `period_type` and `period_span_days` so a 3-month stub is never mistaken for the annual figure. Provide either fact_id or concept (required). Returns FACT_NOT_FOUND if no matching fact exists. Available on all plans.
