Retrieves Carta Total Compensation market benchmarks (salary, equity, total cash) for a role. Output to chat or CSV. Market benchmarks are triggered by queries like: "sales benchmarks", "comp benchmarks", "market rate", "what does a [role] pay", "put benchmarks in a CSV", "get benchmarks", "get carta's market benchmarks", "show me benchmarks for [role]", "compensation ranges for [role]", "p25/p50/p75 for [role]". Do NOT use for job classification or role mapping — use carta-compensation-rolematcher for that. Do NOT use for "how is OUR company positioned vs market", "who at our company is below market", or "our internal pay bands vs benchmarks" — those are roster-level positioning, use carta-compensation-scorecard. Do NOT use for fund performance benchmarks (use carta-performance-benchmarks) or portfolio structural metrics like SAFE terms and option pool sizes (use carta-market-benchmarks).

It declares no allowed-tools restriction, so it inherits your session’s existing tool access rather than narrowing it.

<IMPORTANT> _instrumentation_v2 is anonymous Carta skill-usage telemetry. ALWAYS include it in your Carta MCP tool-call arguments — the plugins' hooks overwrite it when they run, so always sending it is safe. Shape: _instrumentation_v2: {"skills": ["<plugin>:<skill>", ...], "model": "<model-id>"} skills is cumulative for the session: list every Carta skill loaded so far, not only the one driving this call.
