Tools

• businesses_search ~556 tokens
  Search normalized public business-register / new-filing records. PROMOTED (2026-10-16): ct_business_registry (Connecticut Business Master, 1.30M entities), or_business_registry (Oregon active businesses, 1.58M), pa_business_registry (Pennsylvania registered businesses, 4.17M), tx_franchise_taxpayers
• contracts_search_awards ~322 tokens
  Search federal contract AWARDS already made (USASpending, served from FedWatch's relay-ingested copy — a fleet machine syncs USASpending daily because USASpending blocks direct Worker fetches): who won, how much, which agency, period of performance. Filter by keyword, NAICS, and/or agency; sort by a
• contracts_search_bid_outcomes ~236 tokens
  Search PUBLIC, curator-ingested historical procurement results, disclosed winners, explicitly documented unsuccessful bidders, selection records and linked evidence. An award is never proof of which other firms lost or why. This is a partial curated KB, not all government procurements.
• contracts_search_bid_research ~218 tokens
  Search nine source-linked historical PUBLIC procurement research cases: rubrics, committee scores, rankings, recommendations, approved awards and noncompetitive purchases. Preserves original stage; recommended/ranked is not awarded. This is a hand-selected research sample, NOT a complete bid univers
• contracts_search_opportunities ~389 tokens
  Search live federal contract opportunities on SAM.gov, newest-modified first. Filter by keyword, NAICS codes, set-aside codes (e.g. SBA, 8A, HZC, SDVOSBC, WOSB), and notice types (e.g. 'Sources Sought'). The public index applies those filters after fetch, so a filtered search pages deeper (up to 10
• courts_search ~223 tokens
  Court dockets via CourtListener/RECAP — GATED on the expansion's one named credential gap: CourtListener's API returns 401 without a token, no CourtListener credential exists in fleet stores, and account creation is out of scope for this server. Provisioning a COURTLISTENER_API_TOKEN secret is the e
• enforcement_search ~294 tokens
  Federal enforcement sources — currently ALL gated or planned, and the tools say exactly why per source: epa_echo (EPA ECHO DFR services documented but the documented calls did not reproduce from fleet egress on 2026-10-16 — adapter deferred, not faked), osha_enforcement (DOL API now requires a regis
• fedwatch_signal_search ~241 tokens
  Search multiple promoted public-data sources for the same organization/topic, normalize the records, rank actionability with a deterministic reason-bearing heuristic, and surface only conservative cross-source identity candidates. Scores are not probabilities and name matches are never called verifi
• grants_search ~307 tokens
  Search live federal grant opportunities on Grants.gov (posted by default). Returns hit count, agency, open/close dates, and assistance-listing (CFDA) numbers. Filter by agency code; sort by close date (soonest first); or restrict to grants closing within N days — sort/window apply to the fetched win
• grants_search_programs ~132 tokens
  Search the SAM.gov Assistance Listings program catalog (the programs behind the grants — by agency and program number). Catalog data: use grants_search for live deadlines.
• healthcare_search ~399 tokens
  Search FDA/CMS healthcare sources. openfda_drug_recalls (default): FDA drug enforcement/recall reports — keyword matches product description or recalling firm. openfda_device_510k: FDA 510(k) clearances — keyword matches device name or applicant. npi_registry: NPPES NPI registry — keyword is an orga
• ip_search ~256 tokens
  USPTO trademark/patent data — GATED on credential provisioning: the modern USPTO APIs (ODP, TSDR case status) all require a registered API key (keyless routes retired). The fleet holds a scoped USPTO ODP credential in its secure vault from the USIPE program; copying it into this Worker (secret USPTO
• licenses_search ~673 tokens
  Search normalized public license records from promoted official sources. Arizona ADHS remains a partial provider-name search; California DCC remains a one-page partial search with unverified total/paging; New York OCM (jskf-tt3q) is an official statewide Socrata dataset whose exact filtered count, s
• liens_search ~598 tokens
  Search tax-lien data. Default mode 'db': FedWatch's lien database (county lien records ingested from public sources; every hit is labeled with its source and extraction path) — filter by state, county, parcel, or free text matched against address/owner/parcel/city. For upcoming sales pass upcoming_o
• permits_search ~662 tokens
  Search normalized public permit/violation records from a promoted official source. Promoted (2026-10-16 all-states expansion): Phoenix AZ (ArcGIS), Chicago permits + building violations, NYC DOB permits/violations + HPD violations, Austin permits + code cases, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Ho
• property_search ~276 tokens
  Search Maricopa County Assessor parcel records (GIS Parcels layer) by APN, situs-address fragment, or subdivision/address keyword. Parcel identity, situs address, sale date/price, deed and subdivision only — owner name and mailing address exist in the layer and are deliberately never returned. TOOL
• securities_search ~303 tokens
  Search SEC EDGAR filings. Source sec_edgar_filings (default): full-text search across filing text (keyword required) with optional form filter (e.g. 'D', '8-K', '13F-HR'), or a per-CIK submissions view when cik is given (recent-filings window — 13F coverage is that window only, labelled as such).
