      summary: Search French companies by name or SIREN (top 10)
      description: 'French company search and company lookup by name or SIREN in the official French company registry (INSEE Sirene / INPI RNE open data). Name search returns the top 10 matches with identity, SIREN, NAF code, city and active/ceased status, plus a score_confiance (0-1 match confidence) that helps disambiguate homonyms. The entry point to official data and company data on France: resolve a trading name to its SIREN identifier before pulling the full company profile, filings or financials.'

          description: 'Top 10 matches with identity, SIREN, NAF, city, status and score_confiance (0-1 match confidence). When no result actually resembles the query (best confidence < 0.5), the body carries aucune_correspondance_fiable: true and a bilingual note_correspondance — the registry''s closest guesses are still listed, but they are not the company you asked for. Served from the local Sirene index; if an index stage is abandoned (time budget exceeded or query error), the call falls back to the real-time registry API (data_freshness says so). Only when that fallback fails too is a partial answer served — flagged by resultats_partiels: true and the abandoned stage named in etages_abandonnes (always present; empty array = complete top 10). A degraded answer is never sold as complete.'
