GovTribe

Search GovTribe MCP response

MCP tool response returned by the Search GovTribe MCP tool.

Response Shape

The response is a broad finder result. Use resolver hints from each result to call the typed Search_* tool that can retrieve richer records.

FieldTypeNotes
querystringThe query submitted to the integrated finder.
retrieval_strategystringDescription of the retrieval strategy used for the request.
matched_typesstring arrayGovTribe record types that matched the query.
resultsobject arrayRanked candidate records with resolver hints for typed follow-up searches.

Each results item includes rank, score, matched_retrievers, govtribe_id, govtribe_type, title, url, snippet, and resolver.

The resolver object includes tool, filter, arguments, and suggested_fields. Those values tell an agent which typed search tool to call next, what filter to apply, and which fields are useful to request.

Follow-up Behavior

Use results[].resolver.tool with results[].resolver.arguments to retrieve fuller typed records. Search_GovTribe is a broad finder and does not replace dataset-specific Search_* tools when an agent needs complete record fields.
