• process_bid_room

  Process tender attachments in E2B: sends documents and business context to E2B, PDF page images/images and extracted evidence to Cohere Parse and Command A+. See /privacy for processing locations. For Alberta APC postings, the first call returns a private upload link: the user downloads the documents with their own APC supplier account and uploads them, then you call again with upload_token. Returns within 145 seconds including setup; large packages may time out. Retry with fewer attachments; a timeout is not a completed analysis. Hosted: sign-in and an active workspaceAlberta Pro subscription required.

  Parameters:

  • reference (required) — string — CanadaBuys or Alberta APC reference number
  • profile — object — Inline business profile used for this call only. Overrides any saved profile. On the shared public endpoint without a subscriber key, this is the way to describe your business.
  • upload_token — string — For APC only: the upload_token from an earlier process_bid_room result. APC releases documents only to the user's own signed-in supplier account, so the first call returns a private upload link; after the user uploads the files they downloaded from APC, call again with this token to process them.
  • max_attachments — integer — Maximum procurement files to process (default 5, max 5). Use 0 explicitly for a notice-only review; missing/gated documents do not count as complete coverage.
  • business_context — string — Optional company capabilities or bid context. If omitted, the saved business profile is used.
  • apc_document_urls — object — For APC only: map document IDs from get_opportunity_details to already authorized, publicly accessible HTTPS copies. This tool never signs in to APC, registers supplier interest, subscribes notifications, or accepts authenticated download URLs. Copies are sent to E2B and their contents to Cohere.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world yes

• classify_tender

  List what a bidder must supply for one tender: splits the tender PDFs into clauses, classifies each clause and page with TypeSafe AI's Jev classifier, and groups the results into one requirement per kind (for example key personnel, mandatory site visit, bid bond), with a mandatory flag, the WorkspaceAlberta connector that would collect it, lead time, page numbers and short evidence quotes. Clause and page text is sent to TypeSafe AI (api.typesafe.ai) for classification; WorkspaceAlberta stores nothing beyond the existing private upload bucket for APC files. PDFs only (PDFs inside ZIPs are read); up to 800 pages and 8,000 clauses per call. CanadaBuys: reads the public tender attachments. Alberta APC: the first call returns a private upload link (the same upload flow as process_bid_room); the user downloads the documents with their own APC supplier account and uploads them, then you call again with upload_token. The link expires as before (2 hours). This tool does not delete the uploads, so process_bid_room can use the same upload_token afterwards. Returns markdown followed by the full result as JSON (schema wa.tender_requirements.v1, with tender closing time and posting link). Returns within 140 seconds; a result cut short by a limit is labelled partial. Results are classifier outputs: verify them against the official posting and amendments. Hosted: sign-in and an active workspaceAlberta Pro subscription required.

  Parameters:

  • reference (required) — string — CanadaBuys or Alberta APC reference number
  • upload_token — string — For APC only: the upload_token from an earlier classify_tender or process_bid_room result, after the user has uploaded the documents they downloaded from APC.
