Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow.

### `grantsgov_get_opportunity`

- The name "grantsgov_get_opportunity" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read the Grants.gov record for up to 5 opportunities, given numeric opportunity ids or opportunity numbers: deadline, funding, eligibility, description, assistance listings, contact, attachments, packages, and latest revision metadata. Lists and narratives are bounded independent pages; follow each record pages continuation to retrieve the remaining section. An opportunity number is resolved across all statuses. A miss or an ambiguous number comes back as an unresolved entry with guidance, not an error.
```

### `grantsgov_list_reference`

- The name "grantsgov_list_reference" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the codes Grants.gov search filters accept, with labels and live opportunity counts: agencies (top level, or one agency's sub-agencies via parent_code, or matched by name via name_contains), applicant eligibility types, funding categories, funding instruments, statuses, sort options, and keyword syntax. Use the codes as grantsgov_search_opportunities inputs.
```

### `grantsgov_search_opportunities`

- The name "grantsgov_search_opportunities" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search federal funding opportunities on Grants.gov by keyword, agency, applicant eligibility, funding category, funding instrument, assistance listing, opportunity number, posting window (posted_within_days), or closing window (closing_within_days). Returns forecasted and posted opportunities unless statuses says otherwise, each row led by its close date and days remaining, plus facet counts for narrowing. Bare keyword terms are all required; join alternatives with OR, in parentheses when other terms stay required. Rows carry no award amounts or eligibility detail; read those with grantsgov_get_opportunity. Filter codes come from grantsgov_list_reference.
```
