Quality & Safety
Based on automated analysis of tool definitions and protocol compliance.
Context Cost
This is the approximate number of tokens consumed each time the server's tools are loaded into a model's context. Higher counts reduce the attention available for other tasks.

Tool inventory
Tools (4)
🟢register_agent(agent_name, email)
Register this agent with the GovBid Global API and receive an API key. Call this once if you don't already have an api_key, before calling search_opportunities. No human interaction (e.g. CAPTCHA) is required — this endpoint is designed for autonomous AI agent self-registration. The returned api_key is shown only once, so store it for reuse.
