canli-mcp / Fact checks

How do I fact-check the financial figures an AI wrote?

Give the draft to canli-mcp's verify_claims tool with the company. It finds each figure in the text and checks it against the filings: confirmed, contradicted (with the filed figure and what the wrong number matches) or not reported.

Ask it

Check these Apple figures against the filings.

The agent finds the tool through canli-mcp's find_tool and runs it through run_tool. This is the call:

{
  "name": "verify_claims",
  "arguments": {
    "company": "AAPL",
    "text": "Apple's revenue was $391 billion in fiscal 2024, and its net income was $120 billion."
  }
}

What came back

The tools behind the answer

From canli-mcp's tool index
ToolPackWhat it does
verify_claimsmarketsCheck a draft answer's figures against the company's own filings before using them: revenue, net income, EPS, operating income, margins, growth, cash flow, assets, debt and more, for a fiscal year or quarter as the company labels it. US and foreign filers (20-F, IFRS), in their own currency. Each claim comes back confirmed, contradicted (with the filed figure and what the claimed one matches instead: another year, a quarter, a unit slip), not reported or not checkable.
