## 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)

  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not yet verified: we couldn't confirm whether this endpoint requires it.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS not yet verified: we couldn't read the response headers to check for it.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 0/100
  - Transport check failed: declared streamable-http, but we couldn't connect to verify it.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 0/100
  - Schema not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's schema.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).

  - Tool coverage not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's tools.
- **Capabilities**: 0/100
  - Capabilities not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's capabilities.

**Unverified: 4 categories.** Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 2 days of observed history at the previous scan, 3 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

## MCP tools (7)

### `search_contracts` (~362 tokens)

Search U.S. federal government contracts, solicitations, and awards by
agency, value, NAICS code, keyword, state, or status — live from SAM.gov
opportunities and USASpending/FPDS awards, newest-first.

Covers federal procurement and government spending across one aggregated,
deduplicated dataset of open SAM.gov solicitations and USASpending contract
awards.

PAID: $0.01 USDC per query after a daily free allowance. The first calls
each day are free; once spent, the tool returns an HTTP-402 body with
Solana payment instructions and a memo — pay it, then call again with the
SAME arguments plus payment_tx=<signature>. Pass agent_id to scope your own
free allowance; an Authorization: Bearer fnet_ key bypasses the paywall.

Input parameters:

- `agency`: awarding agency name, partial match (e.g. "Defense").
- `agent_id`: stable id for your agent (scopes the free-tier counter).
- `keyword`: free-text matched against title + description (ILIKE).
- `limit` (integer): max rows (1-100, default 25).
- `max_value`: maximum award amount (USD).
- `min_value`: minimum award amount (USD).
- `naics`: exact 6-digit NAICS code (e.g. "334517").
- `payment_tx`: Solana tx signature, when re-calling after a 402.
- `posted_after`: ISO date "YYYY-MM-DD"; only records posted on/after it.
- `state`: 2-letter place-of-performance state code (e.g. "TX").
- `status`: one of "active", "closed", "awarded".

### `contract_detail` (~93 tokens)

Get the full record for one U.S. federal government contract or
solicitation by its solicitation number (for awards, the USASpending
generated_internal_id) — including agency, NAICS code, value, and response
deadline from SAM.gov / USASpending. FREE — no payment and no free-tier
consumption.

Input parameters:

- `solicitation_number` (string, required): the natural key from a search_contracts result.

### `agency_spending` (~211 tokens)

Analyze U.S. federal government spending for an agency — contract dollars
broken down by NAICS sector and the top awardees, computed live from
USASpending.gov for the requested fiscal year (the full federal procurement
record, not just the local table).

PAID: $0.01 USDC per query after the daily free allowance. On a 402, pay
the returned Solana memo and re-call with the SAME arguments plus
payment_tx=<signature>. An Authorization: Bearer fnet_ key bypasses it.

Input parameters:

- `agency` (string, required): awarding toptier agency name as USASpending labels it (e.g. "Department of Defense", "Department of Commerce").
- `agent_id`: stable id for your agent (scopes the free-tier counter).
- `fiscal_year`: U.S. federal FY (e.g. 2026). Defaults to the current FY.
- `payment_tx`: Solana tx signature, when re-calling after a 402.

### `trending_opportunities` (~202 tokens)

Analyze which sectors are seeing the most new U.S. federal government
solicitations right now — buckets SAM.gov opportunities posted in the last
\`days` by NAICS code and ranks them by new-solicitation volume, with the
agencies driving each. Surfaces emerging federal procurement demand.

PAID: $0.01 USDC per query after the daily free allowance. On a 402, pay
the returned Solana memo and re-call with the SAME arguments plus
payment_tx=<signature>. An Authorization: Bearer fnet_ key bypasses it.

Input parameters:

- `agent_id`: stable id for your agent (scopes the free-tier counter).
- `days` (integer): look-back window in days (1-365, default 30).
- `naics`: optional exact 6-digit NAICS code to restrict to one sector.
- `payment_tx`: Solana tx signature, when re-calling after a 402.

### `daily_brief` (~260 tokens)

Get the curated daily U.S. federal government-contracts brief — the day's
most significant federal procurement activity from SAM.gov and USASpending in
one package: top new solicitations by value, solicitations with approaching
response deadlines, major recent awards, and trending NAICS sectors +
agencies. Each brief carries a provenance attestation so a buyer can verify
it was produced by this server, unaltered.

PAID: $10 USDC per brief. Defaults to today (UTC); a brief expires at the
next midnight UTC. On a 402, pay the returned Solana memo and re-call with
the SAME args plus payment_tx=<signature>. An Authorization: Bearer fnet_
key bypasses payment.

Input parameters:

- `agent_id`: stable id for your agent (scopes the free-tier counter).
- `date`: brief date YYYY-MM-DD (default today, UTC).
- `payment_tx`: Solana tx signature, when re-calling after a 402 (x402 rail).
- `stripe_token`: Stripe Checkout Session id (cs_…), when re-calling after paying the Stripe payment link (alternative to x402). Can also be supplied via the X-Stripe-Token header.

### `brief_summary` (~169 tokens)

Get the top 5 signals from today's brief as structured JSON — a cheap
sample of the full daily_brief. Returns the day's highest-priority items
(no prose) so an agent can decide whether to buy the full brief.

PAID: $0.50 USDC (vs the full daily_brief price). Defaults to today (UTC).
On a 402, pay the returned Solana memo and re-call with the SAME args plus
payment_tx=<signature>. An Authorization: Bearer fnet_ key bypasses payment.

Input parameters:

- `agent_id`: stable id for your agent (scopes the free-tier counter).
- `date`: brief date YYYY-MM-DD (default today, UTC).
- `payment_tx`: Solana tx signature, when re-calling after a 402.

### `mint_info` (~98 tokens)

Get FoundryNet Data Network info + attestation / provenance details. FREE.

Returns how to record verifiable provenance for your agent's
government-contract / federal-procurement analysis (SAM.gov + USASpending),
and the sister data servers in the network (brand-intel, patent-intel,
financial-signals, weather-intel, cyber-intel, compliance, academic-intel,
fact-check, oss-intel, social-intel).
