From search to a cited answer

  1. Find up to three software notices in NAICS 541512.
  2. Choose a returned record and review its official source, source date and response deadline.
  3. After a useful result, save the same criteria if you want to follow changes.
{"q":"software","naics":"541512","active":true,"limit":3}

Try the software research example

Website search is free. Sign in to read a full research brief on the website; public agent research needs no account. Results are not guaranteed, and source-active does not mean a deadline is open.

Direct HTTP clients

Select Streamable HTTP, not the older SSE transport. Send requests with POST, Content-Type: application/json and Accept: application/json, text/event-stream. A GET 405 means the optional listening stream is unavailable; continue using POST. An Accept 406 requires both response types, not authentication.

Initialize, list tools, then execute a research task. First-result examples and recovery steps.
