    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.

    get_thesisThe thesis for a company, computed from its SEC filings: business quality and fair value in one breath. Deterministic — the same filings always produce the same sentences — and byte-identical to what meritvalue.com shows. Returns null when the filings support neither a moat read nor a fair value, rather than inventing one. Use this first when asked whether a company is worth owning.
    get_business_qualityIs this a good business? Return on invested capital (or equity) against its cost of capital, and what management has done with the share count. Returns the year-by-year series as well as the averages, so the reading can be disputed without losing the evidence. These are signals, not verdicts — present them that way.
    get_intrinsic_valueEvery valuation model's verdict plus the fair-value range: DCF (5Y/10Y), earnings-power value, Graham number, P/E reversion. Refusals are included and are meaningful — a DCF declining to value a bank is a result, not a gap. Never present a refused model as missing data, and never substitute another model's number for it.
    get_expected_returnAt a price you supply, the annual return the base case implies. MeritValue holds no market-data licence, so it never returns a live quote — the caller must provide the price. Ask the user for it, or have them check a broker; do not guess one, and do not present a guessed price as a real one.
    get_fundamentalsNormalized fundamentals per fiscal year — revenue, earnings, cash flow, capex, debt, shares — each carrying the CIK, accession number and XBRL tag it came from. Use when the user wants the underlying numbers or asks where a figure came from. Foreign filers report in their home currency; read the currency field.
    search_companiesResolve a company name or partial ticker to covered companies — 'coca cola' finds KO. Use this before the other tools when you have a name rather than a symbol. Coverage is US filers with SEC filings.
    screen_undervaluedRank covered companies by a chosen model's value. Requires a key with screening enabled — a 403 means the key lacks it, which is a plan limit and not an error to retry.
