    search_opportunitiesSearch published public fellowships, grants, scholarships, prizes, and funded residencies. For matching, start with separate broad calls for the exact topic, synonyms, broader fields, and type-only grants and fellowships. Do not stack sparse topic, career, and location filters during initial discovery. Array values are OR alternatives within one filter; separate filter fields are combined with AND. Search results are candidates only: call get_opportunity before ranking or citing each one.
    get_opportunityGet one published public opportunity, its current cycles, source records, and any approved eligibility or funding facts before ranking or citing it. Missing facts remain unknown. Open Medici ranking is a catalog signal, not personalized fit, eligibility, or acceptance likelihood.
    list_filter_optionsList current database-backed values for one public search facet. Use this before search_opportunities instead of guessing taxonomy terms. An empty facet or absent user value means public coverage is missing; it is not evidence that the user is ineligible, so do not turn it into a hard exclusion. Map filters to facets as follows: type→types, topic→topics, applicant→applicants, career→careers, audience→audiences, education→education, enrollment→enrollments, citizenship→citizenships, residence→residences, country→countries, destination→destinations, benefit→benefits, fundingShape→fundingShapes, durationUnit→durationUnits, openState→openStates, lifecycle→lifecycles.
