Request teaming match MCP tool

Request a teaming match between your existing teaming interest and another user's open interest on the same opportunity. Both interests must already exist and be on the same teamable. Use Create_Interest_And_Request_Match instead if you do not yet have a teaming interest on this opportunity.

Examples

Resolve both sides first: the user's own interest on the opportunity, and the target interest discovered on the same opportunity with teamable_ids. Use can_request_match from the discovery search to skip targets that cannot accept a request.

  }
}

Common precondition error codes: intent_collision when both interests share the same intent, already_requested when a match already exists between the interests, previously_declined when the target previously declined the requester, target_not_accepting_requests when the prime side is no longer open, and requester_interest_not_open when the user's own interest is not open.

Reopen teaming interest

Reopen a hidden or withdrawn teaming interest, returning it to open so it is discoverable again and can receive new match requests. Matches cancelled by an earlier withdrawal are not restored. Matched interests cannot be reopened this way — use Disband_Teaming_Team to end a locked-in team first. Owner-only.

Rerank Search Results

Rerank a bounded shortlist of GovTribe records from a typed search_results_id or explicit candidate list. Use this only after retrieval; it does not replace Search_GovTribe or typed Search_* tools.
