Endpoint behavior, request fields, response fields, error codes, and operation names may change before the Tools API is declared stable. REST-callable tool surface for agent and automation workflows. Agents are the primary consumer, but integrations can be built on this API. Responses are JSON for typed clients; MCP tools may render action results into text-oriented formats separately. servers: - url: https://app.govly.com security: - bearerApiKey: [] - headerApiKey: [] tags: - name: Opportunities description: Search, fetch, and inspect Govly opportunity records. - name: Awards description: Search and inspect awarded government contracts. - name: Workspaces description: Create, update, and inspect opportunity workspaces. - name: Workspace Members description: Add users and teams to workspaces. - name: Workspace Attachments description: List and upload workspace attachments. - name: Workspace Comments description: Post comments to workspaces. - name: Follows description: Follow opportunities and related workspace activity. - name: Saved Searches description: List saved opportunity searches and cached matches. - name: Documents description: >- Read document representations and request temporary original-file downloads. - name: Quote Submissions description: >- Inspect quote submission requirements, submit quotes, and poll submission status. - name: Inbox description: Read and triage the authenticated user's matched inbox items. paths: /api/tools/v1/awards/search: post: tags: - Awards summary: Search awards description: > Search awarded government contracts with the constrained public parameter set shared by MCP search_awards.
