Can my AI agent retrieve the full funding history of a specific company just by providing the Organization ID?

Yes! Use the `get_org_funding` tool with the Organization ID. Your agent will return every funding round — Seed, Series A through D, and IPO — including amounts raised, lead investors, round dates, and post-money valuations.

How do I map out the competitive landscape for a target company?

Simply ask the agent to run `get_org_competitors` with the Organization ID. It will return direct competitors ranked by market positioning, funding similarity, and industry overlap, giving you an instant competitive analysis.

Does the integration allow modifying data or creating entries in CB Insights?

No. All 13 tools are strictly read-only query operations — searching organizations, tracking funding, analyzing competitors, and exploring investors. The only write operation is `chat_cbi`, which sends a question to the AI engine. No destructive actions exist, ensuring your data remains secure.
