Response Shape

The returned teaming interest record represents one user's standing offer to team on a specific federal contract or grant opportunity, either as the prime contractor or as a subcontractor. Some fields are visible only to the interest owner, and some discovery fields are populated only on search results.

Field	Type	Notes
`govtribe_id`	string	GovTribe ID for the teaming interest. Pass this value into `teaming_interest_id` for update, withdraw, hide, lock-in, or disband calls, and into `target_interest_id` or `requester_interest_id` for match requests.
`govtribe_type`	string	Always `teaming_interest`.
`govtribe_url`	string	GovTribe URL for the teaming interest page.
`name`	string	Interest name. New interests start with an opportunity-derived name; an AI-generated name replaces it shortly after creation.
`govtribe_ai_summary`	string	AI-generated public summary of the interest, built from the intake question answers. Regenerated asynchronously after intake answers change.
`intent`	string	`prime` when the owner wants to lead the contract, `sub` when the owner wants to subcontract.
`vendorSource`	string	How the interest's vendor identity was provided: `linked_vendor` or `custom_uei`.
`open_at`	string or null	When the interest most recently entered the `open` status.
`matched_at`	string or null	When the interest most recently entered the `matched` status.
`withdrawn_at`	string or null	When the interest was withdrawn.
`hidden_at`	string or null	When the interest was hidden.
`created_at`	string	Interest creation timestamp.
`updated_at`	string	Interest update timestamp.
`teamable`	object	Nested opportunity record the interest is tied to, returned as a federal contract opportunity or federal grant opportunity response.
`tags`	object array	Workspace tags attached to the interest. Visible to the owner's workspace.
`descriptions`	object array	Description entries attached to the interest.
`accolades`	array	Vendor accolade badges shown with the interest in discovery.
`user`	object	Nested user record for the interest owner.
`source`	string	Owner-only. How the interest came to exist: `user`, `system_suggested`, `implicit_pursuit`, or `implicit_signal`.
`status`	string	Owner-only. Lifecycle status: `open`, `matched`, `withdrawn`, or `hidden`.
`intakeQuestions`	object	Owner-only. Intake question answers keyed by question name. Each value includes `question`, `userInput`, and `instructions`.
`vendor`	object	Owner-only. Nested vendor record the owner represents on this interest.
`match_state_for_viewer`	object array or null	Search results only. Match rows between the viewer and this interest, including each match's status and conversation pointers.
`team_members`	object or null	Owner-only, search results only. Accepted-team member map for a matched prime interest.
`responsiveness_score`	object or null	Search results only. Responsiveness signal for the interest owner's account.
`can_request_match`	boolean or null	Search results only. Whether the viewer can request a match against this interest right now.
`pending_match_count`	object or null	Search results only. Pending match counts for the interest, split into `inbound` and `outbound`.

Follow-up Behavior

Search_Teaming_Interests returns only govtribe_id when you omit fields_to_return. Mutation tools return the full record for the affected interest.

Owner-only fields (source, status, intakeQuestions, vendor, team_members) are omitted when the viewer does not own the interest, so cross-user discovery results never expose another user's intake answers or status.

match_state_for_viewer, responsiveness_score, can_request_match, and pending_match_count are computed per page of search results. Request them through fields_to_return on Search_Teaming_Interests when deciding whether to request a match.
