Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| search_federal_contractsA | Search awarded US federal government contracts. Returns contracts the government has already awarded, largest dollar value first. Use this to see who is winning federal work, what an agency spends, or a specific company's contract history. For contracts coming up for re-bid, use find_expiring_contracts instead. |
| find_expiring_contractsA | Find federal contracts expiring soon -- recompete opportunities. When a federal contract's period of performance ends, the work usually has to be re-competed, and the incumbent is beatable. These are the highest-probability opportunities in government contracting, visible in public data months before any solicitation is published. Each result includes days_until_expiry and the current incumbent. Note: usaspending.gov itself cannot filter by end date. This walks the end-date-sorted results to find the window, so it takes a few seconds. |
| screen_public_companiesA | Rank every US public company by a financial metric. Answers questions sec.gov structurally cannot: which companies had revenue over $100 billion last year, which hold the most cash, which reported the largest losses. EDGAR serves filings one company at a time; this compares all of them at once. Every record carries a verify_url to the filing the figure came from. |
| company_financial_historyA | One company's reported history of a financial metric. Deduplicated to one record per period, taking the most recent filing -- this year's 10-K restates last year's figures, so raw SEC data repeats periods with different values. Every record carries the form type, filing date, and a verify_url. |

Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: search_federal_contracts finds awarded contracts, find_expiring_contracts identifies expiring ones, screen_public_companies ranks companies by metrics, and company_financial_history retrieves a single company's historical financials. No overlapping functionality exists between the four tools.
The naming pattern is inconsistent. The first three tools use a verb-noun structure (search_, find_, screen_), but the fourth uses a noun-noun structure (company_financial_history). Additionally, the verbs 'search', 'find', and 'screen' are near-synonyms, which could confuse users about their exact purposes. The pattern is not uniform across the set.
With only 4 tools, the server is reasonably scoped for its niche of government contracts and public company financials. It is slightly on the low end but within the acceptable 3–15 range, and each tool serves a distinct query need without unnecessary bloat.
The tool surface covers the primary queries for the domain: searching awarded contracts, finding expiring ones, screening companies by financial metrics, and retrieving a company's financial history. There are minor gaps (e.g., no tool for detailed contract metadata or company fundamentals beyond history), but agents can accomplish core tasks without dead ends.
