Server tool list (47)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| resolve_address | Turn a street address into canonical DFX object ids, with the match basis and any ambiguity stated. Returns typed objects: a 'property' (national federal programme multifamily) and/or a 'parcel' (Massachusetts assessor and registry layer). These are separate populations that barely overlap, so an address may return one, the other, or both. Free. The ids returned are the canonical property and parcel ids used across this server. |
| resolve_organization | Turn an owner, manager, lender or servicer name into canonical DFX entity ids. A name is treated as a blocking key and never as an identity, so all candidates are returned rather than a guess. Free. Person lookup is deliberately not offered. |
| get_occupancy | Two directions from one call. A PROPERTY dfx_id returns the tenants observed at that building: tenant name and dfx_id, occupancy class, leased area, share of the property, and the lease expiration date where the source discloses one. A COMPANY dfx_id returns where that company is observed to operate. `company` with `address` (plus city and state) checks ONE claim: does DFX hold this company at this building. Every row carries its evidence tier and its freshness. Free. not_observed IS NOT VACANT. The published tenancy sources name only the largest tenant of a building, so most real occupiers are outside the disclosure entirely and an absent row is an absent disclosure, never a statement about the space. Accepts the canonical property and company dfx_ids carried by address and name resolution results and by event rows. |
| get_property_record | Given a DFX id, return current state, dated events, ownership and management relationships, debt with maturity dates and maturity basis, recorded sales with consideration plus registry book and page, and the provenance of each. Sales carry BOTH the instrument total and this parcel's allocated share, because a deed repeats its full price on every parcel it covers. Free. THIS IS ALSO THE PARCEL LOOKUP. The id can name a property or a parcel, and both come back in full, including the `dfx_id` carried on every address resolution object and every parcel search row. |
| search_property_events | Dated events over US properties and parcels, with provenance and a human-readable headline. Covers LIHTC compliance period endings (the Year 15 recapitalisation trigger, 11,956 of them), HUD subsidy contract expiries (4,721), scheduled loan maturities (3,395) now national rather than Massachusetts, CMBS distress and workout reporting (163 delinquency flags across 26 states, 123 foreclosures across 21), issued building permits and demolition filings (Boston only), and recorded sales (43,680, 2 states). 9,372 events fall inside the next 548 days, measured 2026-09-17. Filter by event type, state and days ahead. An unrecognised event type is REFUSED with the served vocabulary, never answered with an empty list. Free. ORDER: results are sorted by `occurred_at`. A family whose events lie AHEAD is returned soonest first, so the first row is the next thing to happen. A family whose events have already happened is returned NEWEST first, so the first row is the most recent thing that did. The tie-break is stable, so paging never reorders what you have already seen. FORWARD, soonest first: COMPLIANCE_PERIOD_ENDING, LEASE_EXPIRING, LOAN_MATURITY_SCHEDULED, SUBSIDY_CONTRACT_EXPIRING. HISTORICAL, newest first: BANKRUPTCY_EVENT, CERTIFICATE_OF_OCCUPANCY, DEMOLITION_FILED, DISTRESS_FLAG_RAISED, FORECLOSURE_EVENT, LOAN_MODIFIED, PERMIT_ISSUED, PORTFOLIO_CONTRACTED, PORTFOLIO_EXPANDED, PROPERTY_SOLD, USE_CONVERSION_PERMITTED. Measured 2026-09-17. Passing `within_days` asks about a future whatever the family, so it sorts soonest first. PAGING: a full page carries `next_cursor`. Supplied as `cursor` with every other argument unchanged, it continues the traversal; `next_cursor` is null on the last page, and that is the only signal the traversal has ended. The cursor carries the sort it was issued under, so a cursor replayed against a different `event_type` is REFUSED rather than quietly paging you back through rows you have seen. The counts above are therefore all reachable. |
| search_bank_cre_exposure | Search 4,313 FDIC-insured banks by their commercial real estate book at the June 2026 call report: total CRE, construction and multifamily in dollars and against equity and assets, noncurrent and net charge-off ratios, ROA, and two screens against the 2006 Interagency CRE guidance (construction over 100%, total CRE over 300%). For 4,242 of them, UBPR's peer-group and national percentile RANKS on the same concentrations. Filter by state, name, CRE-to-equity range, guidance screen, minimum assets or minimum noncurrent ratio; sort by cre_to_equity (default), construction_to_equity, noncurrent, cre_total, assets or multifamily. Free. THE GUIDANCE IS QUOTED, NOT APPLIED: it tests TOTAL RISK BASED CAPITAL; the ratios here are on equity and the ranks on Tier 1 plus the allowance, so above_*_guidance_on_equity is a screen against a proxy. Every row states its quarter. No person appears in this data. |
| search_subsidised_housing | Search HUD's project-level Picture of Subsidized Households: 29,455 subsidised projects nationally, one row per project and programme, with units AVAILABLE (HUD's subsidised units available, which excludes units offline for rehab or disposition; occupancy is measured against these, so 100% of 20 available can be 20 of 50 built), occupied units, occupancy percent, MONTHS ON THE WAITING LIST, average rent, average household income, average tenure and what HUD pays per unit per month. Filter by state, city, programme (Public Housing, Section 8 NC/SR, Section 236, 202/PRAC, 811/PRAC, Mod Rehab), minimum waiting list, occupancy range and minimum units. Ordered by waiting list, deepest queue first. Every row carries the canonical property dfx_id. Free. ONE ANNUAL CAPTURE, effective 2025-12-31, stated on every row: this is a snapshot of demand, not a change over time. A NULL waiting list is an absent disclosure (housing authorities report it, private owners under a HAP contract mostly do not), never an empty queue; min_waiting_months EXCLUDES such rows and the answer states how many projects in the same place report one. Tenant composition is not published here. |
| search_parcels | Search the assessor parcel layer with filters instead of one exact address. Filter by state, municipality, assessor land use code, owner-occupancy, tax-exempt status, year built and assessed value range; results carry assessed value, gross building area, assessed value per square foot, the annual tax and the year built. This is the way to ask a QUESTION of the parcel layer without an address in hand. Every answer states the true match count alongside the sample, and a search that matches nothing names the filter that emptied it rather than returning a bare empty list. At least one filter is required. Free. EVERY ROW CARRIES A `dfx_id` AND IT IS A HANDLE, NOT A LABEL: the canonical parcel id this server uses for that parcel's events, ownership, debt and recorded sales. |
| what_can_dfx_answer | Takes an objective in natural language and returns whether DFX can help, the tool name and arguments that answer it, and a free sample of the result. Says no clearly when the answer is no. Accepts objectives that do not yet map to a specific query. READ ONLY, and the annotation means it: nothing is created, nothing you or anyone else can read back is changed. The question itself is kept in DFX's own interaction ledger, as every call on this server is, and unmet asks are what decide what DFX builds next. |
| changes_since | A feed of what is NEW since a cursor, ordered by when DFX learned it rather than by when it happened. The first call, made without a cursor, returns ZERO events and a starting position by design; a later call with that cursor returns what DFX learned in between. It answers what is new, not what exists. Filter by event type, state, or a specific property or parcel id. Deterministic and indexed, so frequent polling is cheap. Free. HISTORICAL FAMILIES DO FLOW THROUGH HERE. This feed is ordered by when DFX LEARNED a fact, not when the fact happened, so a foreclosure that occurred months ago and was ingested today arrives in today's delta. A distress or sales feed built on this works. |
| debt_maturity_schedule | Free, keyless and unauthenticated. Returns the LOAN rather than the event: for one US state and one forward window, up to 200 loans with maturity date, original and current principal, interest rate, lender name, instrument type, origination date and the secured property's address, deduplicated to one row per loan and ordered by maturity. Every maturity_basis is 'confirmed': 19,821 of 19,821 loans carry a date filed with the SEC by a servicer or recorded by HUD, and none is estimated or inferred from a term length. Every response states how many loans DFX holds for the filter and whether the delivery is complete, so an answer capped at 200 rows is never presented as the whole population. Each row says whether a maturity event was published for the loan. A missing event does not mean the loan is defeased: loans filed as defeased (ABS-EE code F, or IP for a portion) are withheld, and code X means defeasance is not allowable, so an X loan must refinance or pay off at maturity. |
| dfx_coverage | Measured coverage, served sources, object types and the known gaps stated plainly, including where geography is a single state and where nothing carries a calibrated probability. It separates an empty result from an absent market. With NO arguments: the full grid, every event family, every state, measured. With `state` and/or `event_type`: a direct verdict on that one slice (COVERED, NOT_COVERED or UNKNOWN) with the basis it was decided on, which is one small answer instead of a grid to parse. Free, and it queries no data: the verdict comes from a coverage registry, so a NOT_COVERED is measured rather than inferred from an empty search. |
| search_family_offices | Family offices as compact cards: class (single, multi, embedded...) with confidence, whether they invest directly, sectors and asset classes on record, check size where stated, direct investment count, latest deployment, and counts of people, sponsor and real estate relationships. Filter by state, sector, direct investing, recent activity or AUM. Returns dfx:fo: ids. People and individual investments are not on these cards. |
| get_family_office | The full card for one family office: profile, AUM / RAUM / 13F value kept apart with their as-of dates, behaviour, the people who run it with roles, its observed investments, relationships, recent events, evidence rows and cross-graph links (same_as by shared CRD/CIK/EIN). Contact points are withheld over MCP. Accepts dfx:fo: ids. |
| search_family_office_investments | Dated investments family offices have been observed making: target, sector, asset class, structure, control or minority, lead or participant, amounts where disclosed (with basis), board seats, exits, and the source quote. Filter by office, sector, asset class, state, kind or since-date. The evidence behind 'this office backs X'. |
| search_independent_sponsors | Verified independent sponsor firms (deal-by-deal acquirers of lower middle market companies) as compact cards: verification status, classification, mandate summary, principals, vehicle count and latest vehicle, and how many companies resemble the sponsor's observed deals. Only firms whose identity evidence names them (eligibility VERIFIED_SPONSOR_FIRM) are returned unless include_unverified is true, which returns the unverified filing groups and candidates as a labelled research list. With `sector`, the answer is OBSERVED behaviour: verified sponsors with observed deals in that vertical first. Returns dfx:isi: ids. Capital providers and target companies are not in these results. |
| get_independent_sponsor | The full card for any entity on the sponsor graph: a sponsor (with its verification status, the companies resembling its observed deals as counted facts and reasons with no score, its announced transactions and its observed capital relationships), a capital provider (with fund size, average investment, SBIC status, strategy, whether making new investments) or a private company (with its transition signals and sponsor matches). Plus relationships, events, evidence and cross-graph links. Accepts dfx:isi: ids. |
| search_sponsor_capital_providers | SBICs, mezzanine and private equity funds, and family offices observed providing capital to independent sponsors: provider type, strategy, fund style, fund size and average investment (kept apart), vintage, SBIC licence, whether making new investments, mandate summary. Filter by state, type, sector text, SBIC status or fund size. |
| search_private_companies | US private companies whose filings (Form 5500 plan history, final filings, ownership changes) show a transition: vertical, plan participants as a size proxy, EBITDA band where derivable, and scores 0 to 100 for opportunity, dealability, transition readiness and urgency, each backed by observations. Filter by vertical, state, NAICS prefix, size and minimum opportunity. Returns dfx:isi: ids. |
| search_sponsor_deals | Announced acquisitions, recapitalisations and exits by independent sponsors: sponsor, target, dates, enterprise value range where disclosed, structure, parties and source. Filter by sponsor, target, type, state, since-date or name text. |
| search_pending_ownership_changes | OFFICIAL state records that a skilled nursing facility's ownership, control or operator is changing, before the change takes effect (Kentucky, New York, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Maine): facility, CCN, beds, current and proposed operator, real estate owner where public, the state's own stage, record class (OFFICIAL_PENDING_FILING, DERIVED_STATUS, CONFIRMED_EFFECTIVE_CHANGE, WITHDRAWN_OR_DENIED), first public record date, days pending, planned close, evidence tags with their facts, source URL and last checked. With changed_since, returns what changed (new application, agenda, vote, withdrawal, effective) instead. Not predictions. Each state's audited fields are listed; proposed owners and percentages are not returned as fact. |
| search_vc_firms | Venture firms as compact cards: stated sectors, stages, geography and check size beside OBSERVED behaviour (investments in the last 6 and 12 months, lead count, behaviour summary and divergence from the stated thesis), funds with the latest vintage and Form D, people and partner counts. Filter by sector, stage, state, active or raising, emerging manager. Returns dfx:vc: ids. Funds, people and individual deals are not on these cards. |
| get_vc_firm | The full card for any entity on the venture graph: a firm (with recent investments, co-investors and funds), a person (with attributed investments and board seats), a fund (with all seven fund amounts kept apart and its lifecycle state) or a portfolio company (with its investors). Plus relationships, events, evidence and cross-graph links. Accepts dfx:vc: ids. |
| search_vc_investments | Investor-by-investor participations in rounds: investor, company, fund, the partner attributed (with attribution level), role (lead or participant), new or follow-on, board seat, round type, stage and amount (the round's, never the check), and the source quote. Filter by investor, company, partner, stage, state, since-date or lead only. |
| search_vc_funds | Funds with every amount under its own name (target, first close, final close, announced size, Form D offering and sold, ADV gross asset value), vintage and basis, lifecycle state, investor counts, LP count. Filter by manager, lifecycle, vintage range, strategy or Form D sold. |
| search_pe_firms | Private equity firms (management companies and advisers) as compact cards: the classifier's class with its state, confidence and basis; size band with the evidence it was sized on; fund counts, latest vintage and Form ADV gross assets reported for private equity funds since 2024 (reported gross assets, NOT fund size or dry powder); portfolio and transaction counts (36 and 12 months); team counts; acquisition appetite and investment velocity values. Filter by name, class, class_state, size_band, state or minimum transactions in 36 months. Returns dfx:pe: ids. Funds, people, transactions, scores with their components and counterparties are on get_pe_firm, not on these cards. Not for family offices, independent sponsors or venture firms (search_family_offices, search_independent_sponsors, search_vc_firms). |
| get_pe_firm | The full card for a private equity firm: identity (website, HQ, ADV filing dates), classification with basis and the size band's definition and evidence, classification history, stated criteria (sectors, EBITDA, EV, equity check, control) kept apart from observed behaviour, funds summary and its ten latest funds, team summary and current people with titles, portfolio summary with recent investments and transactions, top counterparties (lenders, advisers, placement agents, co-investors with shared-deal counts), every score WITH its components and missing_inputs, recent events, evidence, and same_as links to the family office, sponsor and venture graphs by shared identifier. Also accepts a dfx:pe: person, fund or company id and returns that card. |
| search_pe_funds | Funds on the private equity graph with every amount under its own name and beside its basis: target, first close, final close, announced size, Form D offering and sold, and the Form ADV gross asset value with its as-of date. adv_gross_asset_value is the gross assets the adviser REPORTED for the fund: it is not fund size, not commitments and not dry powder. Also vintage with basis, ADV fund type, lifecycle state, owner and LP counts. Filter by name, manager, ADV fund type, vintage range, lifecycle or minimum reported gross assets. |
| get_pe_fund | One fund: manager, vintage and basis, every amount kept apart with its basis (adv_gross_asset_value is reported gross assets, not fund size or dry powder), the year-by-year Form ADV reporting tape (gross assets, owners, minimum investment, ownership percentages), LP commitments where disclosed, relationships (placement agents, auditors, principals), events and evidence. Refuses an id that is not a fund; use get_pe_firm for the manager. |
| search_pe_transactions | Acquisitions, add-ons, recapitalisations, carve-outs, secondary sales and exits on the private equity graph: type, status, announced and closed dates, target with industry and state, platform for an add-on (with the basis for calling it one), control, every party with role, side and attribution, and money (enterprise value, purchase price, equity value, target revenue and EBITDA) ONLY where disclosed, each beside its basis. An undisclosed amount is absent, never estimated. Filter by firm (any party), target, platform, type, target state, since-date, add-ons only, control or target name. |
| search_pe_platforms | Companies that act as a platform (a sponsor's platform investment, or a company that has made add-ons): industry, add-on counts (total and last 24 months) and latest add-on date, current owners with role, status and dates, ownership since, and the platform acquisition activity and exit readiness scores. Filter by name, state, industry text, minimum add-ons in 24 months or owner firm. Returns dfx:pe: company ids for find_pe_addons_for_platform. |
| find_pe_buyers_for_company | Computed buyer_for_company matches from the private equity matcher for one company (a dfx:pe:, dfx:isi: or dfx:vc: company id): each firm with the matcher's reasons, blockers, why_now and comparable transactions verbatim, the deal partner where attributed, score, confidence, model version and computed date. When the matcher has scored nothing for the company the answer is NOT_COVERED with the population count: that means DFX has not computed buyers for it, never that no buyer exists. For sponsors, family offices and capital providers as well, use find_capital_for_opportunity. |
| find_pe_companies_for_buyer | Computed company_for_buyer matches for one private equity firm (dfx:pe: id): each company (on the private equity, sponsor or venture graph, with its dfx id) with the matcher's reasons, blockers, why_now and comparables verbatim, score, confidence and computed date. NOT_COVERED when the matcher has scored nothing for the firm, which is not a statement that nothing fits. |
| find_pe_addons_for_platform | Computed addon_for_platform matches for one platform (a dfx:pe: company id from search_pe_platforms): each candidate company with the matcher's reasons, blockers, why_now and comparable add-ons verbatim, the platform's owner, score, confidence and computed date. NOT_COVERED when the matcher has scored nothing for the platform, which is not a statement that no add-on fits. |
| search_entities | One search across family offices, independent sponsors and their capital providers, private companies, venture firms, private equity firms and funds, and real estate organisations: by name, or by filters (entity_type, domain, state, sector, ...). Compact cards with stable dfx ids and a per-domain coverage note. Breadth across every domain in one query, with fewer per-domain filters than the domain searches. |
| resolve_name | Resolve a firm, fund, person or company name to canonical dfx ids from the Data Factory's index of every published name and alias (former names, dbas, legal names) on the family office, sponsor, venture and private equity graphs. Ranked exact, prefix, then word match; one row per entity; typically under 200 ms. The first call before get_entity. Real estate organisations are resolved by resolve_organization instead. |
| get_entity | For any DFX id: the full card, published relationships with sources and dates, recent events, evidence rows (the observation each fact traces to), cross-graph same_as links by shared identifier, same-name candidates on other graphs (labelled as candidates), and pointers to deeper views. One answer to 'show me everything on X'. |
| search_people | Investment professionals, principals and family office staff as names with titles, roles, seniority, investment responsibility, organisation and tenure, from public filings and firm pages. By name, or by organization_dfx_id, or by role. cross_graph_only=true answers 'which venture people are connected to family offices' in one call. At least one of query, organization_dfx_id, role, investment_responsibility or cross_graph_only is required; a call with none of them is refused with INVALID_ARGUMENT. Contact points are withheld over MCP; the site publishes them per office. |
| search_relationships | Every published relationship touching one entity (EMPLOYS, PRINCIPAL_OF, INVESTED_IN, CO_INVESTED_WITH, MANAGES, OWNS, BOARD_MEMBER_OF, VEHICLE_OF, ...), each with role, dates, currency, confidence, evidence class and source. Plus same_as links to the same entity on other graphs. |
| relationship_path | An evidence-backed path between two DFX ids across every graph: each hop is a published relationship with its source, or a SAME_AS identity link by shared CRD/CIK/EIN. Bidirectional search up to max_hops (default 3). NO_MATCH means no observed path within budget, not that they are unconnected. |
| search_events | Dated events across family offices, sponsors, venture, private equity and real estate: investments announced, vehicles formed, Form D and ADV filings, people joining and leaving, funds raised, acquisitions, plan final filings, record departures, loan maturities. Filter by domain, subject dfx_id, event_type, state, significance and window. Routine 13F position and fund-reporting noise is excluded unless asked for. Ordered and windowed by when events occurred. |
| verify | SUPPORTED, PARTIALLY_SUPPORTED, CONTRADICTED or UNKNOWN for a claim, with the observations. Give a sentence ('Family Office X invested in Company Y in 2025', 'Z is a family office') or a structured subject / predicate / object / year. DFX contradicts only what its own record contradicts; absence of evidence is UNKNOWN, never CONTRADICTED. Its predicates cover investment, acquisition, co-investment, employment and identity claims; property facts are outside them. |
| find_capital_for_opportunity | Investors for a company (dfx_id) or a described opportunity (sector, state, deal size, stage, control): verified independent sponsors with observed acquisitions in the sector (listed, not paired or ranked; company to sponsor pairs are withdrawn), family offices with observed investments or stated sectors in it, venture firms when the opportunity is venture-shaped, and private equity matcher rows where that graph computes them. DFX does not recommend first-time capital providers. Every row says its basis (observed_behaviour, computed_match, observed_investments, derived). |
| find_opportunities_for_capital | For a family office, sponsor, capital provider or venture firm: the opportunities DFX knows that fit its DEMONSTRATED behaviour: computed matches where the graph has them (with reasons and blockers), then private companies with transition signals in the sectors it has actually invested in, sponsors seeking capital, companies raising in its stated sectors. Returns the behaviour it reasoned from. |
| explain_match | For an investor and an opportunity (either order): MATCH REASONS, BLOCKERS, SUPPORTING OBSERVATIONS, COMPARABLE HISTORY (the investor's dated investments in the same sector, with sources), RELATIONSHIPS (a path on the graph if one exists), RECENT EVENTS on both, the computed match if the graph has one, and a confidence label. Facts, not a score. |
| why_now | Evidence-backed reasons an entity matters now: recent filings, vehicles formed, deployments, people moves, fundraising, transition signals, loan maturities, each dated with its source. Empty means DFX observed no change in the window, not that nothing is happening. |
| who_should_care | Given an entity or an event id: who is likely to care and why. A company transition names sponsors, capital providers and family offices with the observed reason; a family office names its co-investors and fitting opportunities; a venture firm names its co-investors; a property names its owner, lender and the next query for exposed lenders and real estate offices. Needs an entity or event id; a description of a situation without an id is not accepted. |
