Measured tools (7)

• search read-only

  Free-text search across the CompShop directory of compensation surveys. Returns matching vendors, reports, job families, and positions. Use for open-ended discovery questions like 'biotech surveys in Europe' or 'CEO compensation data'.

  Parameters:

  • query (required) — string — Free-text query (job title, industry, vendor, geography, etc.)
  • limit — integer — Max results per group (default 5, max 15)

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• list_vendors_by_industry read-only

  List every CompShop vendor that publishes surveys for a given industry. Use when the user asks 'what survey publishers cover [industry]?'

  Parameters:

  • industry (required) — string — Industry category. One of: general-industry, healthcare, life-sciences, tech, media, financial-services, insurance, energy, construction, retail, higher-ed, legal, nonprofit, executive, free.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• list_vendors_by_region read-only

  List vendors with survey coverage in a given region. Use when the user asks 'what publishers cover [region]?' Region is matched against both vendor-level scope and individual report scopes.

  Parameters:

  • region (required) — string — One of: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East & Africa, Global.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• find_surveys_for_position read-only

  Find compensation surveys that benchmark a specific job title or position (e.g. 'Software Engineer', 'CPA', 'Sr Acct', 'head of finance'). Combines literal title matching with embedding-based semantic similarity, so abbreviations and paraphrases work — 'CPA' returns 'Certified Public Accountant', 'Sr Acct' returns 'Senior Accountant'. Reports per position are ranked to surface broad-coverage surveys (general-industry, US scope) before niche cuts.

  Parameters:

  • position (required) — string — Job title or position to look up (free text). Abbreviations and paraphrases are fine.
  • limit — integer — Max position matches to return (default 5, max 20)

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• get_vendor read-only

  Detailed info on a specific vendor by slug, including all of their reports. Use after `search` or `list_vendors_by_industry` returns a candidate.

  Parameters:

  • slug (required) — string — Vendor slug (e.g. 'mercer-benchmark-database', 'pas', 'wtw').

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• get_report read-only

  Detailed info on a single survey report by slug.

  Parameters:

  • slug (required) — string — Report slug (e.g. 'pas-aggregates-industry').
