best_opportunitiesRanks open HackList opportunities for a specific builder and explains each pick.No findings
Why it is in this group
- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
Description, as the server wrote it
Ranks open HackList opportunities for a specific builder and explains each pick. Favours specific briefs (a named API, dataset, metric or protocol) over generic 'build anything with AI' events, weighs prize size and whether it is real cash, deadline runway and accessibility, collapses duplicate listings, and drops events the builder can't enter (students only, region-locked, in-person, partners only). Returns why each one ranks and what to watch out for.

3 of these tools change something. Run those as governed actions.

Declare what an action changes, and Anlyon puts it under a shared limit, binds every approval to the exact request, and grades the outcome. It works on any HTTPS API you can describe as an action.

Anlyon does not run, proxy or govern this MCP server. A tool your own code calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it.
