5 new public-data tools for AI agents: SBIR topics, SEC comps, clinical trials, page diffs and a free prompt-injection scanner

A developer released five public-data tools for AI agents on the Apify Store, now bundled into the open-source Panda Federation MCP server (v1.3.0, 23 tools). 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.

Disclosure: I build these tools, and I used AI to help write them and this post. Five 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. | Tool | What it does | Price | |---|---|---| | 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 | | 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 | | 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 | | 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 | | 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 | Searches that find nothing aren't charged per result. uvx panda-federation-tools Add 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 .
