The tools cover SBIR/STTR topic search, SEC EDGAR XBRL financials, ClinicalTrials.gov leads, website page-diff monitoring, and a free scanner that detects hidden prompt-injection text aimed at AI agents. Each paid tool charges per result and returns JSON with a one-line agentSummary per row, with schema checks and a default $0.50 spending cap per run.", "body_md": "*Disclosure: I build these tools, and I used AI to help write them and this post.*\n\nFive more Panda Federation tools went public on the Apify Store tonight, and they're now in the open-source MCP server too (v1.3.0, 23 tools). Each one reads an official or open source, charges per result (one is free), and returns JSON with a one-line `agentSummary` per row plus Excel/CSV.\n\n| Tool | What it does | Price | \n|---|---|---|\n| [SBIR/STTR Topic Radar](https://apify.com/pandadad0214/sbir-sttr-topic-radar) | Open SBIR/STTR topics from every agency, with full text, close dates, days left and DoD Q&A contacts | $0.003 / topic | \n| [SEC Financials to Excel](https://apify.com/pandadad0214/sec-financials-excel) | About 40 standardized 10-K lines per company-year from SEC EDGAR XBRL, each tied to its filing, in a comps and model workbook | $0.002 / company-year | \n| [Clinical Trial Leads](https://apify.com/pandadad0214/clinical-trial-leads) | ClinicalTrials.gov trials by condition, drug, phase or location, with sponsors, contacts, investigators and every site | $0.002 / trial | \n| [Website Change Monitor](https://apify.com/pandadad0214/website-change-monitor) | Page diffs, price changes and keyword alerts on any public page, compared with your last run | $0.0015 / page | \n| [Hidden AI Instructions Scanner](https://apify.com/pandadad0214/hidden-ai-instructions-scanner) | Finds text hidden from people but aimed at AI agents (prompt injection) before your agent reads a page | Free | \n\nSearches that find nothing aren't charged per result.\n\n```\nuvx panda-federation-tools\n```\n\nAdd that as a stdio MCP server with your `APIFY_TOKEN` (setup for Claude, Cursor and VS Code is in the [README](https://github.com/pandadad0214/panda-federation-tools#install--use)). Then ask things like:\n\nEvery call is schema-checked before it runs and has a hard spending cap (`run_max_charge_usd`, default $0.50).\n\n``` python\nfrom apify_client import ApifyClient\n\nclient = ApifyClient(\"YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN\")\nrun = client.actor(\"pandadad0214/sbir-sttr-topic-radar\").call(\n    run_input={\"keywords\": \"autonomous\", \"maxResults\": 10}\n)\nfor topic in client.dataset(run[\"defaultDatasetId\"]).iterate_items():\n    print(topic[\"agentSummary\"])\n```\n\nThe SEC tool needs a `contactEmail`, because SEC's fair-access rules ask every client to identify itself. It's only sent to SEC.\n\nFour more (IRS nonprofit lists, Federal Register monitor, FDA/CPSC recalls and a bulk VIN decoder) are built and go public over the next day or two.
