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…

The Apify Store recently introduced five new public-data tools for AI agents. These tools, available on the open-source MCP server, extract official or open-source information and return JSON with agent summaries per row and Excel/CSV formats. Prices range from $0.0015 to $0.003 per result. The tools cover SBIR/STTR topics, SEC financials, clinical trial leads, website change monitors, and a free prompt-injection scanner.

Users can input specific queries, such as finding open SBIR topics or pulling financials for specific companies, with a hard spending cap per run. The tools are designed to be integrated into AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and VS Code, with an option to scan web pages for hidden instructions before summarizing content. Additional tools, including IRS nonprofit lists, Federal Register monitor, FDA/CPSC recalls, and a VIN decoder, will be available soon.
