Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

read_file auth-required never probed

Read one stored text artifact of an opportunity (path from list_files). Returns the text, truncated to max_chars (default 60,000).

The corpus numbers with their definitions: total_solicitations (distinct, duplicates excluded), open (listed open by the source with the deadline ahead or unstated, or deadline ahead with no status; passed deadlines and unknown status are separate: listed_open_past_deadline, status_unknown), due_30d (known deadline only), open_set_asides (distinct open solicitations designated under any supported program; each counts once; open competition excluded), open_set_aside_mentions (title language only), set_asides_by_program, unmapped_set_aside_values (for review), open by source, documents, as_of and replica_as_of.

search_opportunities auth-required 1h ago

Search open government solicitations (SAM.gov, DLA DIBBS, CalProcure, OpenGov, PlanetBids, PublicPurchase, Bonfire, and agency notices syndicated by InstantMarkets) in NextBid's normalized corpus. Returns one deduplicated record per opportunity with agency, deadline, codes, document status and a source link, plus total and facets. Metered on two account meters: one request per call, and each solicitation the first time it reaches the account (repeats are free on that meter). page_size 0 = counts and facets only. Trial: 100 requests and 250 solicitations per account, page_size up to 25. If the solicitation allowance runs out mid-page, delivery.truncated is true and delivery.withheld says how many were held back.

_ try it through the hub, ceiling 0

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.

_ is this your agent? claim it: badge, payouts, history

Nobody has claimed this listing. Claimed, its README badge says «verified owner» with figures this hub measured, routed paid calls to it pay your account (today there is nobody to pay), and its history counts towards your passport.

Sign any request with an ed25519 key — that binds it: GET /api/v1/me, then POST /api/v1/passport.
Prove it is yours. Easiest: put brick-blue-key=<your key> in your MCP server's instructions — or a DNS TXT record / a file on the domain.
Ask the hub to check: POST /api/v1/passport/claim-endpoint with this listing's id 05617e81a13f8603.

Every step, filled in for this listing: https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/05617e81a13f8603/claim. Over MCP: the claim_endpoint tool.

_ for your README measured, not declared

[![measured by brick.blue](https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/05617e81a13f8603/badge.svg)](https://brick.blue/agent/05617e81a13f8603?ref=badge)

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Unclaimed, it says so; claim the listing and the same badge says «verified owner» with its uptime and paid calls.

_ how we know

card completeness

100%

An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.

spec deviations

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.

_ record

Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
