get_insider_trades

Get recent insider buy/sell transactions for a public company.

Parses SEC Form 4 filings to extract individual transactions by
corporate insiders (officers, directors, 10%+ owners). Shows who
traded, what they traded, how many shares, at what price, and
their remaining holdings.

Transaction codes:
- P = Purchase (open market buy)
- S = Sale (open market sell)
- M = Exercise/conversion of derivative (e.g. stock option)
- A = Grant/award
- F = Tax withholding

Examples:
get_insider_trades("AAPL") → Recent Apple insider transactions
get_insider_trades("TSLA", limit=10) → Last 10 Tesla Form 4 filings

Returns:
Company info and list of transactions sorted by date (newest first),
each with owner details, shares, price, and post-transaction holdings.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`ticker_or_cik`	`string`	required	Ticker symbol (e.g. "AAPL", "TSLA") or numeric CIK (e.g. "320193").
`limit`	`integer`	optional	Maximum Form 4 filings to parse (default 20, max 50). Each filing may contain multiple transactions. (default: 20)

Request Body

{
  "ticker_or_cik": "example"
}

get_insider_summary

Get aggregated insider trading activity for a company.

Analyzes recent Form 4 filings and summarizes:
- Net buying vs selling sentiment (are insiders buying or selling?)
- Total shares bought and sold across all insiders
- Per-insider breakdown: name, title, shares bought/sold, net position

Useful for gauging insider confidence in a company's prospects.
Heavy insider buying often signals management confidence; heavy
selling may indicate concern (though selling for diversification
or tax reasons is common).

Examples:
get_insider_summary("AAPL") → Apple insider buy/sell summary
get_insider_summary("NVDA") → NVIDIA insider activity overview

Returns:
Overall buy/sell sentiment, total shares bought and sold,
and per-insider summary with relationship and activity.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`ticker_or_cik`	`string`	required	Ticker symbol (e.g. "AAPL") or numeric CIK (e.g. "320193").

Request Body

  "ticker_or_cik": "example"
