Tool changes

No tool definition changes recorded. A server's first observation is its baseline; later probes record what changes.

Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed. How it is computed.

Tools (18)

can_company_bidread-onlyWhether a company based in one country may bid for public tenders in another country (trade agreements, foreign-bidder rules, registrations needed). Give a tender_id or the tender's country. Use when the user asks whether a company from one country can bid on, or take part in, public tenders in another country.
check_my_eligibilityread-onlyFor the user's own company (askTender account): whether it can bid on a tender and qualifies, which requirements it meets, what is missing and how to close each gap. Needs the askTender account connected. Use when the user asks whether their own company qualifies for, or can bid on, a specific askTender tender.
compare_plansread-onlyaskTender's plans (Pro, Intelligence, Business): prices, what each includes, who each is for, and which fits the user's situation. Use when the user asks about pricing, which plan to choose, or what askTender can do for them.
find_guidesread-onlyaskTender's guides on how public procurement works: registering on portals (SAM.gov, GeM, Find a Tender...), digital signatures, bid security, foreign bidders, consortiums. Returns titles, summaries and links.
get_bid_kitread-onlyThe submission checklist for a tender against the user's company: documents they already have, drafts askTender prepares for signature, and items to obtain with lead times. Pro plan and above.
get_requirementsread-onlyEvery requirement of a tender in the tender's own words (financial, experience, certifications, registrations, bid security, documents), routed to who handles each. Pro plan and above.
get_tenderread-onlyThe facts of one tender by its askTender id: title, buyer, country, deadline, value, status, and a plain-English brief where available, with its askTender link.
my_accountread-onlyThe user's askTender plan and what it includes.
my_bidsread-onlyThe user's bids being prepared with askTender and their status.
my_matching_tendersread-onlyOpen tenders for the user's company: found by what its askTender profile says the company does (its capabilities), or by a search phrase if given. Use when the user asks which tenders suit or match their company.
my_saved_tendersread-onlyThe tenders the user has saved on askTender, with deadlines.
my_watchlistread-onlyThe buyers and competitors the user watches, with their recent activity. Intelligence plan and above.
save_tenderSave a tender to the user's askTender list (deadline reminders and tracking).
search_tendersread-onlyFind open government tenders (calls for bids) by what is being bought and, optionally, the country. Returns up to 10 live tenders from official procurement portals (refreshed daily) with buyer, deadline, value and an askTender link. Use when the user asks to find tenders, calls for bids or public contracts to bid on.
start_managed_bidHand a tender to the askTender Desk, which prepares the bid with the user and coordinates askTender Partners (accountants, professionals) for certificates and filing. Business plan.
tender_incumbentread-onlyFor a tender: who holds or last won this buyer's similar contracts, the buyer's closest past contracts (winner, value, date) and a price guide from them, useful when the notice publishes no value. Intelligence plan and above.
upcoming_renewalsread-onlyContracts in the user's markets that are ending soon (the next tender is coming). Intelligence plan and above.
watchAdd a public buyer or a supplier (competitor) to the user's watchlist, to follow their tenders and awards. Intelligence plan and above.
