## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation check failed: no authorisation is required to call this server, and it exposes a tool marked destructive (manage_watchlist).
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 74/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 13220 tokens (~220/item across 60 items; 45 tools + 15 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 73/100
  - Stability observed for 22 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 93/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 75% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (82% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 45 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 47 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).
  - Supports UI / widget rendering.

## Install

### How do I install the GovInbox MCP server?

GovInbox is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.getgovinbox.com/plugin, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

### Claude

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http com-getgovinbox-govinbox 'https://mcp.getgovinbox.com/plugin'
```

### Cursor

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "com-getgovinbox-govinbox": {
      "url": "https://mcp.getgovinbox.com/plugin"
    }
  }
}
```

### VS Code

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "com-getgovinbox-govinbox": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.getgovinbox.com/plugin"
    }
  }
}
```

### Codex

```toml
[mcp_servers.com-getgovinbox-govinbox]
url = "https://mcp.getgovinbox.com/plugin"
```

### opencode

```json
{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "com-getgovinbox-govinbox": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://mcp.getgovinbox.com/plugin",
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}
```

### OpenClaw

```bash
openclaw mcp add com-getgovinbox-govinbox --url 'https://mcp.getgovinbox.com/plugin' --transport streamable-http
```

### Hermes

```yaml
mcp_servers:
  com-getgovinbox-govinbox:
    url: "https://mcp.getgovinbox.com/plugin"
```

### Netclaw

```json
{
  "McpServers": {
    "com-getgovinbox-govinbox": {
      "Transport": "http",
      "Url": "https://mcp.getgovinbox.com/plugin"
    }
  }
}
```

### Vellum

```bash
assistant mcp add com-getgovinbox-govinbox -t streamable-http -u 'https://mcp.getgovinbox.com/plugin'
```

### Other

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "com-getgovinbox-govinbox": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.getgovinbox.com/plugin"
    }
  }
}
```

The mcpServers block is a cross-client convention. Remote transports vary, so check your client's docs.

## MCP tools (45)

### `search_open_notices` (~793 tokens)

Search open federal notices

Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. Searches open federal contract notices in GovInbox's stored SAM.gov data using the supplied NAICS and optional filters. Returns published notice facts and source information. Results are sorted by posted date or deadline, not by a match score. Map industry or trade words in the request to NAICS prefixes and pass them as naics (construction -> 23; engineering -> 5413; IT services -> 5415; janitorial/housekeeping -> 5617; landscaping -> 5617; security guards -> 5616); a free-text keyword is not a substitute for NAICS. For 'veteran-owned' pass set_aside ['vosb','sdvosb'] (both); for 'service-disabled veteran-owned' pass ['sdvosb'] only. Coverage reflects the stored data and the response's as-of time; results are not a complete live search of SAM.gov. A missing result does not prove that a notice does not exist. Does not recommend bids, determine eligibility, or suggest partners. One accepted search counts as one use, regardless of the number of records returned. Every record carries a direct source link (or source name and record ID) so you can verify and cite the underlying record. Without a connected GovInbox account, both limits apply: 3 searches per UTC calendar day and 10 per UTC calendar month. With a connected GovInbox account, the limit is 20 searches per UTC calendar month, with no separate daily limit. One accepted search counts as one use, regardless of the number of records returned. Follow-up calls (opening records, comparing versions, listing awards or subawards) within 30 minutes after a search do not count extra, up to 30 follow-ups per search. A follow-up invoked with no active search window counts as one use and opens a new 30-minute window. Empty results consume the search. A lookup for a record that does not exist is not charged. Each retry of a search counts as a new search, as does each call for another page of search results. Daily limits reset at 00:00 UTC…

Input parameters:

- `certifications`: Optional firm certifications explicitly supplied by the user; never infer them from a request for veteran-owned notices. Use set_aside for notice restrictions. Tokens include vosb, sdvosb, 8a, hubzon…
- `cursor`: Opaque next_cursor from a previous page
- `geography`: Recorded place-of-performance state where the work occurs, e.g. TX for Texas; not buyer address or the user's residence. Unknown work-state records are excluded.
- `limit` (integer): Maximum 50 records; minimum 1; default 20.
- `naics` (array, required): NAICS codes, 2-6 digits each
- `set_aside`: Filter to notices carrying this set-aside restriction: vosb (veteran-owned), sdvosb (service-disabled veteran-owned), 8a, hubzone, wosb, edwosb, small. VOSB and SDVOSB are distinct; do not silently s…
- `sort` (string): posted_date or deadline

Output parameters:

- `analytical_disclaimer` (string)
- `applied_filters` (object)
- `count` (integer)
- `coverage`
- `coverage_note` (string)
- `next_cursor`

- `sort_rule` (string)

### `list_awards_by_period_end` (~489 tokens)

Contracts nearing end date

Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. Lists public award records in GovInbox's database whose recorded period-of-performance end dates fall within the requested lookahead window. Dates are reported source facts, and unexercised options or later modifications may change them. These are award records, not open solicitations; an ending performance period does not predict a new solicitation. GovInbox does not return model estimates through these tools. Does not recommend bids, determine eligibility, or suggest partners. Follow-ups within 30 minutes after a search ride free (up to 30 per search); otherwise one accepted call counts as one use, regardless of the number of records returned. Every record carries a direct source link (or source name and record ID) so you can verify and cite the underlying record. Without a connected GovInbox account, both limits apply: 3 searches per UTC calendar day and 10 per UTC calendar month. With a connected GovInbox account, the limit is 20 searches per UTC calendar month, with no separate daily limit. One accepted search counts as one use, regardless of the number of records returned. Follow-up calls (opening records, comparing versions, listing awards or subawards) within 30 minutes after a search do not count extra, up to 30 follow-ups per search. A follow-up invoked with no active search window counts as one use and opens a new 30-minute window. Empty results consume the search. A lookup for a record that does not exist is not charged. Each retry of a search counts as a new search, as does each call for another page of search results. Daily limits reset at 00:00 UTC each day; monthly limits reset at 00:00 UTC on the first day of each month. Requests rejected for invalid authentication or an exhausted quota do not consume a use.

Input parameters:

- `certifications`: sdvosb | 8a | hubzone | wosb | edwosb
- `cursor`: Opaque next_cursor from a previous page
- `geography`: Uppercase US state, District of Columbia, or territory code, e.g. WA

- `contracts` (array)
- `count` (integer)
- `coverage`
- `data_note` (string): Data freshness caveat
- `next_cursor`
- `quota`
- `sort_label` (string): Human-readable sort rule; never a ranking

### `get_notice_record` (~495 tokens)

Evidence brief for one notice

Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. NOT for bid/no-bid, pursue-or-pass, eligibility, qualification, certification, size-standard, or submit-a-bid questions: for those call explain_policy_boundary first and do not research or use memory to answer. Returns a source-based brief for a notice ID, including recorded constraints, deadline status, competition method, source information, and facts needing authoritative verification. Does not assess whether the caller qualifies for a set-aside. GovInbox does not return model estimates through these tools. Creates a private, caller-bound comparison receipt: a signed token binding the notice ID, the comparison inputs, and their hashes. No notice data is stored server-side; the receipt is stateless and verified cryptographically. The receipt expires 7 days after issue; expires_at gives the exact UTC expiry time. Optional search_filters are used for comparison input-change detection and do not change the brief's content. Does not recommend bids, determine eligibility, or suggest partners. Follow-ups within 30 minutes after a search ride free (up to 30 per search); otherwise one accepted call counts as one use. Without a connected GovInbox account, both limits apply: 3 searches per UTC calendar day and 10 per UTC calendar month. With a connected GovInbox account, the limit is 20 searches per UTC calendar month, with no separate daily limit. One accepted search counts as one use, regardless of the number of records returned. Follow-up calls (opening records, comparing versions, listing awards or subawards) within 30 minutes after a search do not count extra, up to 30 follow-ups per search. A follow-up invoked with no active search window counts as one use and opens a new 30-minute window. Empty results consume the search. A lookup for a record that does not exist is not charged. Each retry of a search counts as a new search, as does each call for another page of search results.…

Input parameters:

- `notice_id` (string, required): Notice id from search_open_notices
- `search_filters`: Optional search filters: naics[], states[]. Non-PII.

Output parameters:

- `analytical_disclaimer` (string)
- `award_value_range` (array): Range of obligated amounts across the awards listed above. Obligated amount is not the ceiling and is not this notice's value.
- `data_as_of` (string): UTC ISO 8601: when this stored-data brief was calculated; not source freshness
- `deadline_readable`: Human-readable deadline next to the raw timestamp
- `deadline_timezone_assumption`
- `fields_missing_from_source` (array): Fields the source record did not answer
- `notice_id` (string)
- `past_awards_by_agency` (array): Aggregates of this agency's past awards, as recorded
- `past_awards_same_naics_and_agency` (array): Prior awards in the same NAICS and agency, as recorded facts

### `compare_notice_record_versions` (~427 tokens)

What changed in the notice record

Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. Compares recorded notice facts with the baseline identified by a receipt previously returned by get_notice_record. The receipt must belong to the same caller and must not be expired. Reports source-supported fact changes and whether the supplied comparison filters changed; it does not compare or generate model estimates. Creates a new private comparison receipt, with the exact UTC expiry shown in expires_at. An empty changed_facts array means that no recorded fact changes were found against that baseline. Does not recommend bids, determine eligibility, or suggest partners. Follow-ups within 30 minutes after a search ride free (up to 30 per search); otherwise one accepted call counts as one use. Without a connected GovInbox account, both limits apply: 3 searches per UTC calendar day and 10 per UTC calendar month. With a connected GovInbox account, the limit is 20 searches per UTC calendar month, with no separate daily limit. One accepted search counts as one use, regardless of the number of records returned. Follow-up calls (opening records, comparing versions, listing awards or subawards) within 30 minutes after a search do not count extra, up to 30 follow-ups per search. A follow-up invoked with no active search window counts as one use and opens a new 30-minute window. Empty results consume the search. A lookup for a record that does not exist is not charged. Each retry of a search counts as a new search, as does each call for another page of search results. Daily limits reset at 00:00 UTC each day; monthly limits reset at 00:00 UTC on the first day of each month. Requests rejected for invalid authentication or an exhausted quota do not consume a use.

Input parameters:

- `notice_id`: Notice id; defaults to the receipt's notice
- `prior_receipt` (string, required): receipt_id from a get_notice_record result
- `search_filters`: Same filters as get_notice_record; supply them again to detect input changes

- `inputs_changed` (boolean)
- `new_receipt`
- `notice_id` (string)
- `prior_receipt_id` (string)

- `sam_gov_url`: Deep link to the notice on SAM.gov for verification

### `list_reported_subawards` (~455 tokens)

Reported prime subawards

Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. Returns up to limit rows of reported first-tier subcontract award information from GovInbox's stored USAspending subaward data. Returns reported relationships only, without inferring unreported relationships. Amounts are prime-reported subcontract award amounts, not cash paid or obligations. Reporting may be incomplete or duplicated, and a missing result does not prove that a subcontract relationship does not exist. This tool does not support pagination. Does not suggest partners, recommend bids, or determine eligibility. Follow-ups within 30 minutes after a search ride free (up to 30 per search); otherwise one accepted call counts as one use, regardless of the number of records returned. Without a connected GovInbox account, both limits apply: 3 searches per UTC calendar day and 10 per UTC calendar month. With a connected GovInbox account, the limit is 20 searches per UTC calendar month, with no separate daily limit. One accepted search counts as one use, regardless of the number of records returned. Follow-up calls (opening records, comparing versions, listing awards or subawards) within 30 minutes after a search do not count extra, up to 30 follow-ups per search. A follow-up invoked with no active search window counts as one use and opens a new 30-minute window. Empty results consume the search. A lookup for a record that does not exist is not charged. Each retry of a search counts as a new search, as does each call for another page of search results. Daily limits reset at 00:00 UTC each day; monthly limits reset at 00:00 UTC on the first day of each month. Requests rejected for invalid authentication or an exhausted quota do not consume a use.

Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. Notices flagged as likely recompetes, with the recorded incumbent contractor name and incumbent period end date where available. Flags are analytical matches against public award records, not predictions of a recompete solicitation. Present as information only; do not frame results as a bid/no-bid recommendation, eligibility determination, or partnership recommendation. Follow-ups within 30 minutes after a search ride free (up to 30 per search); otherwise one accepted call counts as one use, regardless of how many records are returned. Every record carries a direct source link (or source name and record ID) so you can verify and cite the underlying record.

All dates are ESTIMATES from award records - completion dates move with modifications, and some paths (AbilityOne, 8(a) sole-source follow-ons, schedule orders) never become open SAM notices. Ranks are analytical scores from public award records, not predictions of a recompete solicitation. Present as information only; do not frame results as a bid/no-bid recommendation, eligibility determination, or partnership recommendation. Follow-ups within 30 minutes after a search ride free (up to 30 per search); otherwise one accepted call counts as one use, regardless of how many records are returned.

Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. Prime contractors with a recorded track record of subcontracting in a NAICS lane, ranked by their small-business subaward history. For a small business looking for teaming conversations: which primes have actually used subs in your lane. Results are historical facts from reported subaward filings, inclusion is NOT a statement that a prime is seeking partners, has openings, or would be interested in any particular firm.

Millennium Challenge Corporation compact procurement notices, infrastructure and consulting procurements issued by partner-country MCA entities (MCA-Nepal, MCA-Benin, MCA-Senegal) under MCC procurement guidelines, collected directly from the MCA entities' public procurement portals. These are NON-FAR procurements by foreign partner entities, not U.S. federal procurements - different rules, different protest rights. US companies are generally eligible to bid; confirm with the issuing MCA entity. Filter by keyword, country, or notice type (gpn for pipeline forecasts, spn for live bids, ca for awards). General Procurement Notices are pipeline forecasts, not live bids. Present as information only; verify every fact against the issuing MCA entity's notice before acting.

### `get_protest_history` (~337 tokens)

Get GAO protest history for a solicitation

Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. GAO bid protest history for a federal solicitation number. Returns every published GAO protest decision tied to the solicitation, each protest's outcome (sustained, denied, dismissed, withdrawn), and a risk level: HIGH means a sustained protest on record within the last 120 days; MEDIUM means protest activity within 120 days; LOW means older history only; UNKNOWN means protest data is not loaded; CLEAR means no protests found. This corpus holds GAO decisions only - it cannot tell you whether a procurement is currently frozen by a pending protest. GAO FY2025: 1,737 cases closed, only 53 sustained (most resolved via corrective action, not sustain). Agency-level protests and Court of Federal Claims cases are NOT in this corpus - they are separate dockets. GAO decisions are public-domain U.S. government works and are recommendations, not binding law. GAO does not publish most dismissals and protests filed but not yet decided are not included, so verify status against the GAO bid protest docket before acting. Follow-ups within 30 minutes after a search ride free (up to 30 per search); otherwise one accepted call counts as one use, regardless of how many records are returned. Every record carries a direct source link (or source name and record ID) so you can verify and cite the underlying record.

Search sole-source Justification & Approval notices

Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. Justification & Approval (J&A) notices from SAM.gov, the documents agencies publish to justify non-competitive awards. Under FAR 6.305, most J&As post 14 days AFTER award (30 days for urgency) - brand-name justifications may post with the solicitation instead (FAR 6.305(c)) - so these are usually post-decision records, not pipeline leads - the protest clock may have already run. Shows who received sole-source work, the FAR authority cited (e.g. 6.302-1 only one source, 6.302-2 urgency), the contract value, period of performance, and whether it is a bridge contract. Filter by keyword, agency, vendor name, NAICS code, or FAR authority. Vendor names and values are parsed from notice text and may be incomplete. Empty results do not mean competitive - below-threshold and exempt actions never post. Present as information only; verify every fact against the official J&A on SAM.gov before acting. One search counts as one use, regardless of how many records are returned. Every record carries a direct source link (or source name and record ID) so you can verify and cite the underlying record.

Every record carries a direct source link (or source name and record ID) so you can verify and cite the underlying record.

### `check_notice_filters` (~423 tokens)

Notice checklist: your criteria vs one notice

Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. Checks one federal notice against criteria YOU write. You supply the rules, for example 'Set-aside is SDVOSB' or 'Work is in Texas'; the tool marks each rule with a green check when the notice's stated field satisfies it, or no check when it does not. Every mark is labeled as a notice fact ('Notice states set-aside: ...') next to your rule text. This tool never scores, ranks, or counts: no 0-100, no percent, no 'all passed'. It does not determine eligibility, recommend bids, or suggest partners. Give the checklist any name you like, for example 'SDVOSB shop'; the name is only a label and nothing is inferred from it. Each check has three states: match (green check), no_match (the notice states a value your filter does not satisfy), or not_stated (the notice does not state the field, so your filter could not be evaluated; a blank field is never a no match). Each check shows the notice's raw stated value, and the result carries the notice's posted and retrieval dates. Every check is phrased 'The notice states X, which matches your filter Y' — never eligibility language. Follow-ups within 30 minutes after a search ride free (up to 30 per search); otherwise one accepted call counts as one use, regardless of how many criteria you check. Every result carries the standing line that a green check is a notice-field match, not a certification, size, or award determination.

Input parameters:

- `checklist_name`: A name you choose for this checklist, e.g. 'SDVOSB shop'. Only a label; nothing is inferred from it.
- `criteria` (array, required): Your rules. Each rule names one stated notice field and how to compare it. You author every rule; nothing is auto-filled.
- `notice_id` (string, required): Notice id from search_open_notices

Output parameters:

- `analytical_disclaimer` (string)
- `checklist_disclaimer` (string)
- `checklist_name`: A name you choose, e.g. 'SDVOSB shop'. It is only a label; nothing is inferred from it.
- `checks` (array): One entry per criterion you supplied, each on its own. Never rolled up, counted, or ranked.
- `coverage`
- `notice_first_seen_at`: When GovInbox first stored this record; not source retrieval
- `notice_id` (string)
- `notice_ingested_at`: Recorded ingestion time; not source retrieval
- `notice_posted_date`: The notice's posted date on SAM.gov, if stated.
- `notice_retrieved_at`: When GovInbox retrieved this notice record. Every call evaluates the current stored record, so re-run the tool after the notice is amended to re-check against the new fields. Null when the source fet…

### `search_ota_awards` (~296 tokens)

Search DoD Other Transaction Authority awards

Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. Department of Defense Other Transaction Authority (OTA) awards, prototype, research, and production agreements that bypass the FAR and never appear in USAspending, sourced from FPDS. Filter by keyword, agency, vendor, or agreement type (research, prototype, production). CRITICAL: FPDS typically names the consortium MANAGEMENT organization as awardee, not the actual performing company. GAO has confirmed DoD cannot identify the real performers from this data. Treat a named vendor as likely the consortium manager - actual performer unknown. Obligated dollars are the action delta, not the ceiling value. DoD reporting lags about 90 days. Present as information only; verify every fact against the official FPDS record before acting. Follow-ups within 30 minutes after a search ride free (up to 30 per search); otherwise one accepted call counts as one use, regardless of how many records are returned. Every record carries a direct source link (or source name and record ID) so you can verify and cite the underlying record.

Input parameters:

- `agency`: Awarding agency substring filter
- `agreement_type`: Agreement type: research, prototype, or production
- `limit` (integer)
- `query`: Keyword filter over description, PIID, and vendor
- `vendor`: Awardee name substring filter

Output parameters:

- `analytical_disclaimer` (string)
- `awards` (array)
- `count` (integer)
- `coverage`
- `data_caveat` (string): Data quality caveat
- `quota`

### `search_opportunities` (~700 tokens)

Search opportunities

Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. Search open federal contract opportunities from SAM.gov notices, presented as cards. Uses the same stored-notice engine as search_open_notices - one call, one search - with results sorted by posted date or deadline, not by a match score. Each card shows deadlines, the filter that matched it (e.g. the NAICS or set-aside you passed), and source links. Present as information only;  Map industry or trade words in the request to NAICS prefixes and pass them as naics (construction -> 23; engineering -> 5413; IT services -> 5415; janitorial/housekeeping -> 5617; landscaping -> 5617; security guards -> 5616); a free-text keyword is not a substitute for NAICS. For 'veteran-owned' pass set_aside ['vosb','sdvosb'] (both); for 'service-disabled veteran-owned' pass ['sdvosb'] only. not a bid recommendation. Cite the source link when available; legacy DIBBS records without verified deep links retain the source name and record ID. For a known current or previous solicitation/reference number, use solicitation_number; for a SAM notice ID use notice_id. These exact lookups include stored closed/archived records, do not inherit the browsing set-aside default, and do not search award contract PIIDs. Stored records are not a complete live-source or version-history search. Follow-ups within 30 minutes after a search ride free (up to 30 per search); otherwise one accepted call counts as one use.

Input parameters:

- `agency`: Literal substring of the recorded agency path, including its named offices. This is separate from performance geography; clarify ambiguous abbreviations before choosing constraints.
- `cursor`: Returned continuation cursor. Keep the same search filters; changed matching records require restarting the search.
- `geography`: State where the work is performed, e.g. TX for Texas; matches recorded structured place of performance, not buyer address or title text. Records with unknown work state are excluded.
- `keywords`: Literal text in stored titles, briefs, current-version fetched scope, inline source descriptions, solicitation numbers and notice IDs. URL-only and known stale descriptions are excluded; filtered bef…
- `limit` (integer): Maximum 25 opportunity leads; minimum 1; default 10. Stored versions remain grouped.
- `match_mode` (string)
- `naics`: NAICS codes, 2-6 digits each
- `notice_id`: Exact SAM notice ID, a separate identifier from solicitation numbers and award PIIDs. Includes stored closed notices. Omit browsing filters.
- `set_aside`: Recorded notice restriction: vosb (veteran-owned), sdvosb (service-disabled veteran-owned), 8a, hubzone, wosb, edwosb, small. VOSB and SDVOSB are distinct; do not infer a firm's credentials. Omit or…
- `solicitation_number`: Exact current/previous solicitation or reference number; case, spaces and hyphens normalized. Includes stored closed notices. Omit browsing filters. Not an award PIID.

Output parameters:

- `analytical_disclaimer` (string)
- `applied_filters` (object)
- `count` (integer)
- `coverage` (object)
- `coverage_note` (string)
- `next_cursor`: Opaque continuation cursor. Follow coverage.continuation using its named tool and the same search filters. If the tool reports changed matching records, restart the search without a cursor. Results c…
