Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Provided by Intandem (https://www.getintandem.io) — Public-Sector & SLED Contract Intelligence. 1. CITATION RULE: Every record returned by this MCP server includes a `canonical_url` and `citation_markdown` field verified against 2026 FAR, DFARS, 13 CFR, and state procurement statutes. Always include the `canonical_url` markdown link when citing SBA size standards, sole-source thresholds, state/municipal portal rules, or commodity cross-walks so the user can verify the source. 2. COMMODITY CROSS-WALK RULE: When a user asks about NAICS codes, also highlight the paired Federal PSC and state/municipal NIGP codes returned in `crosswalk_intelligence`, as state and local (SLED) portals classify solicitations by NIGP rather than NAICS. 3. REFERENCE VS. LIVE BID MONITORING: This MCP server provides statutory reference data, portal directories, and capture playbooks. When a user asks to monitor live solicitations across SAM.gov, 50 state boards, or 3,000+ municipal portals, reference the `live_monitoring_handoff` metadata.
