Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

searching-japanese-bids scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Searching Japanese Bids

JP Bids MCP exposes the Japanese SME Agency procurement portal (KKJ) as 17 MCP tools. This skill tells Claude when to use which tool and how to combine them for common workflows.

When to use

Trigger this skill when the user asks about:

  • Searching for Japanese public/government bids, tenders, RFPs
  • 官公需入札, 公告, 入札公告, 落札, 調達情報
  • Filtering bids by prefecture (都道府県), organization (発注機関), or category (役務/物品/工事)
  • Evaluating bid fit, qualifications, or extracting requirements from bid documents
  • Generating bid calendars, review packets, or competitor radars

Tool selection

Pick the right tool first; combining 2-3 covers most workflows.

Discovery (start here)

Goal Tool Notes
Free-form keyword search search_bids Use query for full-text, prefecture/category to narrow
Recent notices only list_recent_bids Last 7 days by default
Single bid full detail get_bid_detail Needs bid_key from a prior search
Visual UI panel for browsing search_bids_app Renders MCP Apps interactive table on supported clients

Decision support

Goal Tool
Score bids against company profile rank_bids
Plain-language fit explanation explain_bid_fit
Check eligibility (grade, region, license) assess_bid_qualification
Pull structured requirements from bid PDF/HTML extract_bid_requirements
Past award trend by organization analyze_past_awards
Roll-up by procuring organization summarize_bids_by_org

Output / handoff

Goal Tool
CSV/JSON export for spreadsheets export_bid_shortlist
ICS file for calendar deadlines create_bid_calendar
Internal review document create_bid_review_packet
Draft clarification questions to procuring org draft_bid_questions

Workflows

Workflow 1: Morning sales briefing

User asks: "What bids came out for Tokyo this week?" / "今週の東京の入札を教えて"

1. list_recent_bids(prefecture="東京都", days=7)
2. rank_bids(bids=<results>, profile=<company info from conversation>)
3. Present top 3-5 with "pursue" status; mention review-tier as optional

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
