Send teaming message MCP tool

Operates in the cross-company GovTribe teaming network. Send a chat message as the user in a teaming conversation: pass teaming_match_id for a match conversation or teaming_interest_id (prime side) for the team-hub conversation. The other party is notified by email and in-app, and before a match is accepted vendor identities may still be masked to them. Messages cannot be edited or deleted by the agent. REQUIRED: show the user the exact message text and obtain their explicit confirmation before calling; content must be the user-approved text verbatim.

Examples

Pass exactly one of teaming_match_id or teaming_interest_id plus content (required, max 5,000 characters). Show the user the exact message text and obtain their explicit confirmation before calling; content must be the user-approved text verbatim. The other party is notified by email and in-app, and before a match is accepted vendor identities may still be masked to them. Sending to a closed conversation returns a structured conversation_closed error code.

Send a message in a match conversation

Resolve the match first, confirm the exact message text with the user, then send.

Search vendors

Searches GovTribe vendor records and returns vendor profiles with identifiers, certifications, and related awards or grants.

Set favorite

Add or remove a record from your favorites (shown as Interested in tables). Adding a favorite also clears your Not interested dismissal. Removing a favorite never hides the record or changes a teammate’s decision.
