FedSignal — Federal Contract Exposure, USAspending to SEC Issuer Resolution

Each tool targets a clearly distinct purpose: award_momentum finds changes in contract obligations, cluster_buys finds multiple insiders buying, contract_insider_overlap combines both datasets, federal_revenue_exposure tracks one company's awards, filings_feed provides raw Form 4 data, index_coverage reports data freshness, resolve_recipient maps contractor names to tickers, and screen_insider_buys ranks insider buying activity. No two tools overlap in function.

Tool names follow a generally consistent verb_noun pattern: award_momentum, cluster_buys, contract_insider_overlap, federal_revenue_exposure, filings_feed, index_coverage, resolve_recipient, screen_insider_buys. The verbs are descriptive (cluster, resolve, screen) and nouns are domain-specific. The only minor inconsistency is that award_momentum uses a noun_verb order rather than verb_noun, and filings_feed is not a verb+noun combination.

8 tools is a well-scoped count for a domain-specific MCP server that combines USAspending and SEC Form 4 data. Each tool covers a distinct analytical need without redundancy. The count is neither too thin to address the domain's complexity nor too heavy to navigate.

The tool set covers comprehensive workflows: searching by contractor name (resolve_recipient), by issuer (federal_revenue_exposure), screening across all companies (screen_insider_buys, award_momentum, cluster_buys), combining datasets (contract_insider_overlap), accessing raw data (filings_feed), and validating data coverage (index_coverage). There are no obvious gaps for the stated purpose of analyzing federal contract exposure and insider activity.
