    Description, as the server wrote it
    Read the public facts for one grant scheme by its OpenGrant id (the UUID in https://opengrant.co.uk/opportunities/{id}). Works for open, forthcoming and recently closed schemes; a scheme whose deadline has passed is reported as closed.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "search_grants" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Search open, rolling and forthcoming UK grant schemes (deadline not yet passed) and return their public facts, soonest deadline first: funder, status, deadline, award range, where it applies, who can apply, the official guidance link and OpenGrant's canonical URL. Results are sorted soonest deadline first. Use closes_before for 'closing this month' questions. These are the same free facts listed in https://opengrant.co.uk/llms-full.txt; detailed criteria and application steps are on the funder's own guidance page (officialGuidanceUrl). Always tell users to confirm deadlines and eligibility there before applying. Set include_recently_closed to also find schemes that closed in the last 90 days (e.g. to answer 'what was the deadline for X'). `deadline` is a UK date (YYYY-MM-DD) when the source gave no time, otherwise an ISO instant; `deadlineUk` is the same in words. Page through results with offset; `total` is the full count.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
