## Tools (3)

- `get_grant_details`: Get the full Grants.gov record for one federal grant opportunity by its numeric opportunity ID (from search_grants), its funding opportunity number, or its Grants.gov URL. Returns the description, eligibility text, eligible applicant types, award floor and ceiling, total funding, expected number of awards, cost-sharing, open and close dates (or forecast dates), agency contact, assistance listing numbers and how to apply. Use when the user asks about a specific grant, whether they qualify, or how to apply. Descriptions are clipped; the full announcement on Grants.gov is authoritative.
- `list_grant_filters`: List the valid values for search_grants filters: applicant eligibility types and funding categories (with Grants.gov codes and how many open or forecasted grants each has right now) and federal agencies with their codes. Pass an agency code to also list its sub-agencies. Use to map a user's description of their organization, topic or preferred agency onto valid filter values before searching.
- `search_grants`: Search open (posted) or upcoming (forecasted) US federal grant opportunities on Grants.gov by keyword, applicant eligibility type, funding category and agency. Returns each grant's title, opportunity number, agency, open and close dates, award floor and ceiling, eligible applicant types and Grants.gov link, sorted by soonest close date by default (among the 30 best keyword matches when a keyword is given). Use when the user wants to find federal grants for an organization, project or topic. Covers federal grants listed on Grants.gov only, not state, local, foundation or corporate grants. Eligibility filtering uses Grants.gov's applicant-type codes; always confirm eligibility with get_grant_details or the full announcement.
