  - before: Full-text search over 10M+ government procurement records (solicitations, tenders, RFPs, grants) from 193 countries, translated into English. Returns up to 20 relevance-ranked results per page with id, title, agency, country_code, value_usd, deadline, status, category, slug and a text snippet. Use the id (always present) — or the slug when set — with get_solicitation for the full record. Terms are matched with OR and ranked by relevance, so a multi-word query ('private 5G network defence') returns the best-matching open opportunities rather than only exact all-term matches. By default results are limited to OPEN-for-bidding opportunities (not-yet-closed status, and either a future deadline or a recently published notice); pass open_only=false to include awarded/closed history, or closing_within_days=N to return only records with a real future deadline inside the next N days (a 'closing soon' query). Access tiers: the FREE tier returns 15 results/page, up to 3 pages deep, ~30 searches per visitor per 24h (each free response carries free_tier=true, searches_remaining, and an upgrade_hint; when the daily cap is spent the tool returns an honest free_tier_limit_reached result with reset_at, not an empty list). Authenticated API-plan callers get full results (20/page), unlimited pagination depth, and are governed by the per-key hourly limit instead of the daily budget. get_solicitation and get_related_solicitations are also FREE (with their own daily caps); only get_live_opportunity_feed and the AI brief on records require a paid API key. If the result reports total_degraded=true, the exact match count timed out and 'total' is a floor, not the true count.

## Packages

_none_

## Tools (5)

- `get_live_opportunity_feed`: A random sample of 12 records from the curated live feed of open defense/technology opportunities (multi-country, multi-source, deduplicated by country+source). Served entirely from a background-refreshed cache; if the cache is cold the tool returns a retryable 'warming_up' error rather than an empty list. No arguments.
Requires a GlobalGov plan with API access (sign in with GlobalGov or connect an X-API-Key); anonymous callers get an 'unavailable_for_tier' result.
- `get_platform_stats`: Canonical GlobalGov coverage numbers: total and open solicitation counts, countries covered, source systems, languages, vendor counts. Pre-computed nightly and served from cache; if the cache is cold the tool returns a retryable 'computing' error and the refresh is dispatched automatically. No arguments.
- `get_related_solicitations`: Up to 5 open solicitations related to a given record slug, matched by country and NAICS code, ordered by nearest deadline. Fast, index-backed lookup. Useful for 'what else is open like this?'
FREE tier: a taste of up to 3 related records, capped at ~3 calls per visitor per 24h. A GlobalGov plan with API access (sign in with GlobalGov or connect an X-API-Key) returns the full related set (up to 5) and lifts the daily cap.
- `get_solicitation`: Fetch one full public solicitation record by slug (as returned by search_solicitations / get_live_opportunity_feed) or by UUID. Returns title (original + English), agency, country, value and currency, deadline, published date, status, category, NAICS/CPV codes, source_url, and the full description. Returns error 'not_found' for unknown slugs/ids.
FREE tier: returns the FACTUAL record only (the fields above), capped at ~10 opens per visitor per 24h (free_tier=true, opens_remaining; an honest free_tier_limit_reached result when spent). A GlobalGov plan with API access (sign in with GlobalGov or connect an X-API-Key) additionally returns the AI-generated brief (summary, key requirements, compliance flags) and lifts the daily cap.
- `search_solicitations`: Full-text search over government procurement records (solicitations, tenders, RFPs, grants) from 193 countries, whatever language they were published in. Returns up to 20 relevance-ranked results per page with id, title, agency, country_code, value_usd, deadline, status, category, slug and a text snippet. Use the id (always present) — or the slug when set — with get_solicitation for the full record.
