Get Live Open Federal & State SLED RFPs

get_live_solicitations
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve currently open, AI-vetted Federal (SAM.gov) and All-50-State SLED (VA, TX, CA, FL, MD, IL, PA, OH, GA, NC, NY, MA, NJ, WA, MI, CO, AZ, MN, TN, IN, MO, WI, SC, OR, CT, UT, NV, AL, LA, KY, OK, IA, KS, AR, MS, NM, NE, ID, HI, NH, ME, RI, MT, DE, SD, ND, AK, VT, WV, WY, DemandStar) IT, Cloud, and Cybersecurity solicitations from SignalTender's 52-portal procurement database. This is a read-only, stateless, non-destructive live database query (requires X-RapidAPI-Key; all four filter parameters are optional and combinable, returning up to limit [default 10, max 50] active solicitations whose closing dates have not passed). Use this tool when discovering active open RFPs to bid on right now; use search_historical_awards instead for past awarded contracts and incumbent pricing, or match_capability_statement once you have selected an RFP to score Bid/No-Bid Pwin.

  19. First observed

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive and openWorld, and the description adds genuinely new operational facts: the X-RapidAPI-Key auth requirement, that the call is stateless, that it hits a live database, that results are filtered by unexpired closing dates, and that all filters are optional and combinable. The only blemish is the stated 'limit [default 10, max 50]', which conflicts with the schema's own default of 25 and maximum of 100 — a materially misleading bound even though it is not an annotation conflict.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The purpose and usage guidance are front-loaded and tight, but the middle of the sentence dumps all fifty state names plus DemandStar, which duplicates the state enum verbatim and adds no selection value. Roughly a third of the description is enumeration bloat that dilutes the high-value routing sentence at the end.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, and annotations cover the safety profile. The description supplies auth, scope, filter combinability and sibling routing, leaving only the limit-bound inconsistency as a gap an agent could act on incorrectly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents every parameter including the state and category enums, and baseline is 3. The description adds one useful semantic point — that all four filter parameters are optional and freely combinable — but it also restates an incorrect limit default/max that contradicts the schema, so it neither compensates nor purely defers.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (retrieve), a precise resource (currently open, AI-vetted Federal SAM.gov and 50-state SLED IT/Cloud/Cybersecurity solicitations), the source system (SignalTender's 52-portal database), and the freshness constraint (closing dates not passed). An agent can distinguish it from search_historical_awards or match_capability_statement without opening any schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly names the moment to use it ('when discovering active open RFPs to bid on right now') and routes to two named alternatives with the conditions that select them: search_historical_awards for past awards/incumbent pricing, and match_capability_statement once an RFP is chosen for Pwin scoring. This is a full when/when-not/alternative statement.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
