Scored across 8 tools
Two clear overlap pairs exist: `search`/`search_opportunities` both query listings, and `fetch`/`get_opportunity` both retrieve full details for one listing. Descriptions mitigate this by labeling `search` and `fetch` as ChatGPT-connector compatibility tools, but an agent must read carefully to know which of each pair to call. The remaining tools (`best_opportunities`, `closing_soon`, `whats_new`, `hacklist_overview`) are clearly distinct.
The set mixes styles: bare verbs (`search`, `fetch`), verb_noun (`get_opportunity`), and noun phrases (`best_opportunities`, `closing_soon`, `whats_new`, `hacklist_overview`). All are lowercase snake_case so it's readable, but the verb/noun conventions are not predictable. The `search` vs `search_opportunities` pair is inconsistent in scope without signaling it in the name.
Eight tools is a well-scoped size for a hackathon/grants listing aggregator, with each covering a plausible user need (search, detail, ranking, recency, deadline, snapshot). Slight redundancy from the two search and two fetch tools keeps it from a perfect score, but nothing feels bloated.
As a read-only data surface it covers the lifecycle well: discovery (`search_opportunities`, `whats_new`, `closing_soon`), evaluation (`best_opportunities`), detail (`get_opportunity`, `fetch`), and health (`hacklist_overview`). No write/bookmark operations exist, which appears intentional for a scraping-backed server, so there is no obvious dead end.
Available Tools
8 toolsbest_opportunitiesRank the best non-generic opportunitiesARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Ranks open HackList opportunities for a specific builder and explains each pick. Favours specific briefs (a named API, dataset, metric or protocol) over generic 'build anything with AI' events, weighs prize size and whether it is real cash, deadline runway and accessibility, collapses duplicate listings, and drops events the builder can't enter (students only, region-locked, in-person, partners only). Returns why each one ranks and what to watch out for.
Inputs: kind, limit, skills, country, +7 more.
closing_soonClosing soon on HackListBRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Open listings whose deadline is within N days, soonest first, with the prize and whether it's worth a sprint.
Inputs: days, limit, min_prize_usd.
