SEC regulatory monitoring

The 'who just filed / who just bought / what just IPO'd / what does the full-text search say' monitoring loop. Five EDGAR tools composed: full-text search for a keyword, surface recent filings on the matched companies, pull insider Form 4 transactions, pull 13F institutional holdings changes, and check the IPO calendar. Different from sec-filings-deep-dive (which goes deep on one company's earnings) - this is the wide-and-recent radar.

When to use this pack

Most EDGAR workflows fall into two modes: 'tell me everything about company X' (covered by sec-filings-deep-dive) or 'what just happened across the universe that I care about?' (this pack). The monitoring mode powers competitor watch, M&A signal scanning, insider-buying screens, and 'is the IPO window open' market-timing checks. The full-text search seeds the watch list; insider trades + 13F changes are the canonical informed-money signals; the IPO calendar is the supply-side gauge. All five tools are egress to SEC EDGAR (free upstream, but counted as paid for the deterministic-tool wrapper).

Tools in this pack

All 5 run inside the single $0.023 call above. Each is also callable on its own if you only need one part.

• EDGAR full-text search GET /api/edgar-search General-purpose full-text search across every SEC filing since 2001. Find any phrase in any filing - material-weakness language in 10-Ks, going-concern in 10-Qs, "Russia" exposure across all forms. Supports form-type, CIK, US-state, and date-window filters. Source: EDGAR full-text search (efts.sec.gov). ?q=going+concern&forms=10-Q&days=30
• EDGAR recent filings GET /api/edgar-filings Recent SEC filings for a company by ticker or CIK, newest first. Optionally filter by form type (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, 4, S-1, etc.). Each row links to the primary document on SEC.gov. Source: data.sec.gov/submissions (public domain). ?ticker=AAPL&form=10-K&limit=10
• EDGAR insider trades (Form 4) GET /api/edgar-insider-trades Recent Form 4 insider transactions filed against a company (officer, director, or 10% holder trades). Backed by EDGAR's full-text search (efts.sec.gov) filtered by subject-company CIK - Form 4 is owned by each insider's CIK, not the company's, so this is the only single-call path. ?ticker=AAPL&days=30
• EDGAR 13F-HR holdings (institutional positions) GET /api/edgar-13f-holdings Top holdings from an institutional investment manager's most recent 13F-HR filing (managers >$100M AUM file quarterly). Parses the standard SEC informationtable.xml attached to the filing - returns issuer, CUSIP, shares, USD value, and voting authority for each position. Sorted by USD value, descending. Source: data.sec.gov + filing archive. ?cik=1067983 (Berkshire) or ?ticker=BRK-B
• EDGAR recent IPO filings (S-1 / 424B4) GET /api/edgar-recent-ipos Recently-filed S-1 (initial registration) or 424B4 (final prospectus - actual priced IPO) filings across all US issuers. Default returns S-1 filings (companies preparing to IPO) in the last 30 days; pass form=424B4 for actual IPOs that priced. Source: EDGAR full-text search. ?days=30&form=S-1

Bought one at a time, these 5 tools cost $0.025 together; the pack is that sum less a 10% bundle discount, rounded up to the $0.001 settlement floor, which is $0.023.

Workflow

1. Seed the watch list with edgar-search. Full-text search across the EDGAR filing corpus for the keyword/theme - e.g. 'AI infrastructure', 'GLP-1', 'small modular reactor'. Returns matched filings with company CIK, ticker, filing type, and date. The query language is EDGAR's own (supports exact phrases, AND/OR, and date filters). This is the 'who is talking about this' step - the resulting CIK list seeds every downstream step. Cap the result set at 25 to keep the pack budget bounded.
2. Pull recent filings on each matched company with edgar-filings. One call per CIK from step 1. Returns the company's last N filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, S-1, etc.) with dates and accession numbers. The 8-K filings are the disclosure firehose - material events (acquisitions, exec departures, going-concern doubt). Surface any 8-K filed in the last 7 days as 'fresh material event' - those are typically the actionable signal in a monitoring loop, not the 10-K/10-Q (which are scheduled and pre-baked into the price).
3. Pull insider Form 4 transactions with edgar-insider-trades. One call per CIK. Returns recent buys and sells by officers and directors with transaction value. The classical signal: clusters of *open-market buys* by multiple insiders within a short window are the highest-conviction informed-money signal in equity markets (sells are noisy - insiders sell for diversification, taxes, divorce; they only buy for one reason). Surface buy clusters (≥ 2 insiders, ≥ $100k each, within 30 days) prominently. Sales without context are deprioritized.
4. Pull 13F institutional holdings changes with edgar-13f-holdings. One call per CIK. Returns the latest quarterly snapshot of which 13F-filing institutions hold the stock and how their position changed (new, increased, decreased, sold-out). New positions by concentrated managers (Berkshire, Pershing Square, Baupost, etc.) are the canonical 'smart money rotated in' signal. Caveat: 13F is delayed 45 days from quarter-end, so this is a confirmation signal, not a leading one - useful for narrative, not for timing.
5. Check the IPO calendar with edgar-recent-ipos. Returns S-1 / S-1/A filings in the recent window - both freshly filed (signals coming-soon) and recently effective (signals just-launched). This is the supply-side gauge: open IPO window = capital markets are absorbing risk; closed = risk-off regime. If the search theme from step 1 has IPO-stage entrants showing up here, that's the 'thematic capital is being raised' confirmation. Final radar synthesizes all five signals into a one-screen actionable summary.

Arguments

What one call returns

A JSON object with pack, args, steps, summary; steps holds one entry per tool (edgar-search, edgar-filings, edgar-insider-trades, edgar-13f-holdings, edgar-recent-ipos), each with its own result or error. Full example on the API page.

Call it directly

Any x402 client pays the 402 and gets the whole workflow back in one response. With the agent402-client SDK (npm i agent402-client, an ES module):

import { Agent402 } from "agent402-client";
// payFetch: an x402-wrapped fetch your wallet signs (@x402/fetch).
// Tools on the free tier need no options: new Agent402() pays them by proof-of-work.
// an existing prepaid credits key also works: new Agent402({ creditsKey })
const client = new Agent402({ fetch: payFetch });
const result = await client.call("skill-regulatory-watch", {"theme":"AI infrastructure datacenter","lookbackDays":"30"});

Theme: 'AI infrastructure datacenter'.
Lookback: last 30 days.
As-of: 2026-06-22.

(1) edgar-search with q='AI infrastructure datacenter', dateRange=last-30-days, limit=25. Return {matches: [{cik, ticker, companyName, filingType, filingDate, snippet}, ...]}. Dedupe to unique CIKs - call that list `watchlist`. (2) edgar-filings for each CIK in watchlist (cap watchlist to 10 to bound budget). For each: return the last 6 filings with type + date + accession. Flag any 8-K filed in the last 7 days as 'fresh_8k=true'. (3) edgar-insider-trades for each CIK. Return {buys: [], sells: []} with {insiderName, role, date, value, sharesAfter}. Compute `buyCluster: true` if ≥ 2 insiders, each ≥ $100k, all within a 30-day window. Surface buy clusters prominently in the writeup; deprioritize standalone sells. (4) edgar-13f-holdings for each CIK. Return {newPositions: [{filerName, value}, ...], increases: [], decreases: [], soldOut: []} for the latest quarter (caveat: 45-day delayed). Flag any newPosition from a 'name-brand' concentrated holder (Berkshire, Pershing Square, Baupost, Greenlight, etc.). (5) edgar-recent-ipos with theme='AI infrastructure datacenter' if supported, else unfiltered, lookback=30d. Return {filed: [{cik, companyName, filingType, date}, ...], effective: [...]}. Cross-reference: any IPO entrant whose company description matches the theme is a 'theme-stage entrant'. Final return: {asOf: '2026-06-22', theme, watchlist: [...], fresh_8ks: [...], buyClusters: [...], smartMoneyNewPositions: [...], themeIpos: [...], synthesis: '<one-paragraph radar summary: which CIKs got buy clusters, which got smart-money entries, which had fresh material 8-Ks, whether the IPO window for the theme is open or closed>', oneLineSummary: '5 CIKs on AI-infrastructure watch; 1 fresh insider buy cluster (NVDA), 2 smart-money new positions (CRWV, NBIS), 1 theme IPO effective (Astera Labs add-on) - capital is rotating in, no fresh 8-K surprises this week.'}. All five tools are egress to SEC EDGAR. Budget ~$0.30 paid. Cache per session.
