Summarize the differences between the risk factors from Lam Research's two most recent 10-K filings.

Comparing the FY2026 10-K and the FY2025 10-K, risk disclosure grew by about 20 percent. Three changes stand out.

New legal exposure. Lam now warns that law enforcement may investigate or charge the company or its employees over improper receipt or misuse of designated technology or third-party confidential information under national and economic-security measures, with civil or criminal liability.

Cybersecurity risk doubled in length. The 2026 filing names specific threats for the first time: prompt injection, ransomware, and state-sponsored intrusion.

Transport

The server is remote and speaks Streamable HTTP. There is nothing to install and no stdio server to run.

Clients that only support stdio can bridge to it:

npx mcp-remote https://api.sec-api.io/mcp?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY

Verify the server from a terminal without any client:

curl -s https://api.sec-api.io/mcp?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}'

Limits

Some tools return large payloads. See limits and errors before wiring them into an agent loop.
