MCP Data Pipeline Connector vs Sugra API MCP

sugra_entity_lookup

Resolve an entity by identifier and return its composed KYB envelope. `anchor` is `lei` (Legal Entity Identifier, resolved via the GLEIF registry) or `vat` (EU VAT number, validated via the EU VIES service). The result weaves identity, a sanctions screening signal, and - on request - ownership and adverse-media slices. The screening verdict is a SCREENING SIGNAL, not a compliance determination, and any PEP / adverse-media content is supplementary and non-comprehensive. The `disclaimer` field carries this and is always present. Output is COMPACT by default to protect the agent context budget: `{entity:{name, anchor, value, status, country}, screening:{status, top_matches:[...3], hit_count}, ids:{...}, disclaimer}`. Pass `include` to opt INTO fuller per-slice detail, e.g. `include=["ownership","adverse_media"]` adds those slices in full form. On a bad anchor or an API error this returns a clean `{error, detail}` dict rather than raising, so the agent can branch on `result.get("error")`. Args: anchor: Identifier type, one of `lei` or `vat`. value: The identifier value (the 20-char LEI code or the VAT number). include: Optional list of fuller slices to add, e.g. `["ownership", "adverse_media"]`. Omit for the compact default.

search_endpoints

Search the bundled Sugra endpoint catalog by natural-language query. Use this to pick an operation_id. It does not fetch data. Typical loop: 1. search_endpoints(query) -> ranked hits with required_parameters 2. describe_endpoint(operation_id) -> params, request_body_schema, agent_hints 3. call_endpoint(operation_id, params=..., body=...) or fetch_data(query, params=...) Filter with toolset or source only after list_toolsets / list_sources; a misspelled filter is an error, not a silent empty result. Examples: - search_endpoints("US CPI inflation") - search_endpoints("AAPL price", toolset="markets") - search_endpoints("container ship AIS", toolset="network")

describe_endpoint

Describe one Sugra API endpoint by operation_id. Includes agent_hints (duration_class fast/slow/heavy, max_concurrency, bulk billing) so you can budget timeouts and parallelism before calling. POST endpoints with a JSON body also carry request_body_schema (the resolved JSON schema) - construct the `body` argument from it instead of guessing key names. Call this after search_endpoints and before call_endpoint when you need the exact parameter names and examples.

call_endpoint

Call a Sugra API endpoint by operation_id from the bundled catalog. Plan calls with describe_endpoint's agent_hints: duration_class "fast" usually responds in under ~2s, "slow" usually 1-5s and occasionally 15s+ on a cold upstream, "heavy" can exceed the gateway timeout - keep parallel calls within max_concurrency and prefer small batches. Bulk endpoints bill 1 request credit per body item. Failures return structured errors {error, reason, status_code, elapsed_ms, retry_hint}; after "upstream_timeout" a single retry often succeeds because the aborted attempt warms upstream caches.

list_toolsets

List catalog groups with endpoint counts and short descriptions. Use the group names as the toolset filter on search_endpoints. This does not call the Sugra API; it reads the bundled catalog.

fetch_data

One-step fetch: find the best Sugra endpoint for the query and call it. Combines search_endpoints + call_endpoint into a single round trip. Use this when you want data without manually picking an operation_id. The full search_endpoints + describe_endpoint + call_endpoint dance is still available when you need explicit control, but for most natural-language queries this tool is enough. Behavior: 1. Search the bundled catalog for the query. Top match wins. 2. If the matched endpoint has required parameters and they are all provided in `params`, call it and return the response. 3. If required parameters are missing, return the candidate endpoints and the missing-params list so the LLM can retry with the correct `params` dict on the next call. Examples: - `fetch_data("US CPI inflation", params={"series_id": "CPIAUCSL"})` → calls /api/v1/fred/series/CPIAUCSL, returns observations. - `fetch_data("Bitcoin price", params={"coin_id": "bitcoin"})` → calls /api/v1/crypto/bitcoin/price. - `fetch_data("Latest financial news")` → news_latest has no required params, returns latest news directly.

list_sources

List source families in the bundled catalog with endpoint counts. Use the family names as the source filter on search_endpoints. This does not call the Sugra API.
