## Quality 79/100 (good)

### protocol: 75 (weight 25)

- warn `protocol.modern`: newest supported version is 2025-11-25; 2026-07-28 not supported, older versions are deprecated until 2027-07-28
- n/a `protocol.stateless`: only applies to 2026-07-28 servers
- pass `protocol.transport`: streamable HTTP
- n/a `protocol.list_ttl`: only applies to 2026-07-28 servers

### authorization: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `auth.prm`, `auth.as_metadata`, `auth.cimd`: no remote uses OAuth
- n/a `auth.secret_in_url`: no templated URL

### tool hygiene: 71 (weight 30)

- pass `tools.descriptions`: every tool has a description
- pass `tools.description_length`: descriptions are concise
- pass `tools.schemas`: every tool has an object input schema
- fail `tools.annotations`: no tool declares readOnlyHint or destructiveHint, so clients cannot tell safe calls from risky ones
- fail `tools.directory_hints`: no tool declares all four of readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint; missing: check_grant_eligibility (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); grant_program_history (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); find_federal_grants (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint)
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 723 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

### stability: 100 (weight 15)

- pass `stability.changes`: no tool changes in 30 days
- pass `stability.rug_pull`: no tool changed its meaning under the same name

### dependencies: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `deps.known_vulns`, `deps.mcp_sdk_version`, `deps.resolvable`: no npm or PyPI package

- tools: 3, about 723 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 1c32c9cc5aed92df3108c292cc24bf90
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/io.github.wyattpalm2-eng/federal-grants.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/io.github.wyattpalm2-eng/federal-grants)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (3)

- `check_grant_eligibility`: Given a Grants.gov opportunity ID and an organization type, return a definitive eligibility verdict with the reason. ELIGIBLE / INELIGIBLE / NEEDS_REVIEW. Never guesses: an opportunity that publishes no applicant types, or only 'Others (see text)', returns NEEDS_REVIEW rather than a false green light.
- `find_federal_grants`: Find open U.S. federal grant opportunities an organization is ACTUALLY eligible to apply for. Filters by the machine-readable applicant-type code Grants.gov publishes on every opportunity, so ineligible opportunities are excluded rather than ranked low. Returns deadlines, award ceilings, cost-sharing requirements, and what prior winners of the same program actually received. Free, no key, live federal data.
- `grant_program_history`: What a federal grant program has actually awarded before, by CFDA/assistance-listing number: median award, largest award, and recent recipients from USAspending.gov. Use it to sanity-check whether a request is realistic — a $150k ask against a program with a $40M median means competing with major institutions.
