Usage Notes

• Keep a cached ROOTDATA_SKILL_KEY to avoid frequent init calls.
• For research tasks, preferred flow:
  1. rd_search → find entity ID
  2. rd_project_detail / rd_funding_rounds for deeper analysis
• Funding rounds endpoint is recent-window only (365 days), mention this explicitly in outputs.
