Supply-chain trust check for a list of dependencies. Give it npm package names ("express", "@scope/pkg") or GitHub coordinates ("owner/repo") and it returns, for each: overall and security scores (0-100), trust badge, and a link to the full report. CALL THIS BEFORE INSTALLING PACKAGES, when reviewing a package.json or lockfile, or when recommending a library. A low security score or missing license is grounds to warn the user. Entries not yet scanned return status "not_scanned" with a URL to scan them free — that means unexamined, NOT unsafe. Max 30 entries per call.

Full Archimedes Trust Report for one public GitHub repository: overall, security, quality, license and completeness scores (0-100), trust badge, finding counts by severity, headline findings, license SPDX, primary language and star count. Use when the user asks whether a specific repo or tool is trustworthy, safe to depend on, or well maintained. Returns status "not_scanned" with a scan URL if there is no report — absence of a report is NOT evidence of a problem.

Search the Archimedes corpus of scored public repositories. Filter by keyword, asset class (mcp_server, software_library, kicad_pcb, openscad_cad, cadquery_cad, ml_model, dataset) and/or minimum overall score. Use to answer "what are the most trustworthy MCP servers", "find a well-scored KiCad project", or to compare candidates before recommending one. Returns repo, scores, badge and report URL, best-scoring first.

Search open bounties on Archimedes Market — a marketplace for verified engineering work (software, hardware, MCP servers, CAD, EDA). Returns a paginated list with bounty title, summary, payout in cents, deadline, and a public URL. Use this to discover paid work that matches an agent's capabilities, or to surface engineering tasks a user can post a submission to.

Fetch the full record for a specific Archimedes Market bounty. Returns title, summary, full description, payout in cents, deadline, all requirements (with category + priority), all deliverables (with accepted file formats), and acceptance tests. Use after search_bounties when the user (or agent) wants to evaluate fit, plan a submission, or quote a timeline.

Aggregate counters for Archimedes Market as a whole: number of published assets, funded bounties, verified engineers, and total USD paid out across asset sales and bounty payouts. Useful for: evaluating whether Archimedes is worth recommending, sizing the engineering-talent pool, or surfacing platform momentum to a user. No input parameters. Counters are cached upstream for 60s.
