What gov_procurement_multi does on Mcp Knowledge
AI agents call gov_procurement_multi to retrieve information from Mcp Knowledge without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
async | boolean | — | If true, returns a job_id immediately (<200ms) instead of waiting for the result. Poll the result with job_result(job_id). Use for slow tools to avoid client ti |
query | string | Yes | Keywords to search for tenders (e.g. "cybersecurity audit", "construction", "consulting AI") |
countries | array | — | Countries to search. Defaults to ["EU","US","FR","UK","DE"]. Use "EU" for all 27 EU member states via TED Europa. |
cpv_codes | array | — | EU Common Procurement Vocabulary codes (e.g. ['72000000'] for IT services, ['45000000'] for construction). Optional. |
min_value_eur | number | — | Minimum contract value in EUR. Tenders below this are excluded. Optional. |
published_after | string | — | ISO date YYYY-MM-DD. Only return tenders published after this date. Defaults to 30 days ago. |

Why gov_procurement_multi is rated Low
This tool queries and retrieves publicly available government procurement data without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is a pure read/search operation that aggregates tender information for business intelligence. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could spam requests or scrape excessively, but cannot damage systems or data.
From the tool's definition Tool aggregates and retrieves public procurement tender data from multiple government sources (TED Europa, BOAMP, UK Contracts Finder, SAM.gov, bund.de).

The rule that runs gov_procurement_multi safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Knowledge, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For gov_procurement_multi, this is the rule to start with:
gov_procurement_multi is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Knowledge, apply this rule, and every gov_procurement_multi call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about gov_procurement_multi
Aggregate public procurement tenders (calls for tender / appels d'offres) from multiple government sources simultaneously: TED Europa v3 (27 EU countries, keyless API), BOAMP France (opendatasoft, keyless), UK Contracts Finder (OCDS standard, keyless), SAM.gov United States (requires SAM_GOV_API_KEY env var), and bund.de Germany (HTML scraping, partial). Returns structured tender records with buyer authority, EU CPV sector code, estimated contract value converted to EUR via live FX rates, submission deadlines, and direct notice URLs. Use when: a B2G agent needs to find government contract opportunities matching keywords across multiple jurisdictions; building a pipeline of public tenders for bid/no-bid qualification; monitoring a domain by CPV code; market sizing public sector spend. Key inputs: query (keywords), countries (ISO-2 array), cpv_codes (EU standard codes, e.g. 72000000=IT services, 45000000=construction, 79000000=business services), min_value_eur (filter), published_after (ISO date, defaults to 30 days ago). SLA: <=25s p95 (all sources fetched in parallel, 8s budget per source). Optional env var SAM_GOV_API_KEY enables US federal tenders (free key at api.sam.gov). Quality score: 25 pts if TED EU retrieved, 15 pts per other source retrieved (max 60), 10 pts if >= 10 tenders returned, 5 pts if aggregates computed. Status: failed < 30 / partial 30-59 / final >= 60. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Knowledge MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
gov_procurement_multi accepts 6 parameters: async, query, countries, cpv_codes, min_value_eur, published_after. Required: query. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
