Company research starts with a reliable record — who a company is, where it sits, what it makes, who owns it — and Crunchbase is the standard source, normally behind an enterprise license. Through AgentKey your agent reads Crunchbase organizations the same way it reads everything else — find_tools, describe_tool, execute_tool — resolving a name to an identifier and then pulling the record and whichever related cards it needs.

​

How to use it

Pass the request in plain language and let the router pick the tool:
Both English and Chinese phrasing work. Always describe_tool before executing — search tools take a structured query body, card lookups take a card name, and the per-call cost is shown there. Resolve the identifier with autocomplete first.
Building with code? The same capability is available as fixed-contract Scenario Methods with automatic provider failover: business.company.search, business.company.get.

FAQ

No. AgentKey holds the upstream access; your agent only needs your AgentKey subscription.
Search tools accept a query in the request body — field filters, ordering and the fields to return. describe_tool shows the schema. For a simple name lookup, autocomplete returns the identifier directly.
Every call goes to Crunchbase at request time; nothing is served from a stale archive. Records carry their own dates, and the deleted-entities tools let a local copy drop records Crunchbase has removed.
