Review exclusion evidence

Author: Daniel Hallman (Moosh Works)

Quick start

1. Open GovGazette to browse exclusion records. Public checks are free and require no account or API key.
2. To use the tools from an agent, connect https://govgazette.com/mcp using Streamable HTTP. Confirm that check_exclusions and exclusion_context are available. Installing this skill alone does not connect the server; if the tools are missing, explain how to connect before continuing.

Check a possible match

1. Collect the name and any identifiers supplied by the user or confirmed in an official source.
2. Call check_exclusions with identities as an array of 1 to 20 objects, such as {"identities":[{"name":"The Boeing Company"}]}. Each object needs a name, Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code, or National Provider Identifier (NPI). Never invent one or use a page URL or record ID as an identity.
3. For a returned record, call exclusion_context with its exact id and returned generation. Read coverage.freshness and preserve stale or unavailable-source warnings.
4. Report the identity evidence, status, dates, restriction type, agency, and official links. Cite the record and dated official sources.
5. Explain what remains uncertain. A name alone, or conflicting identifiers, establishes only a possible match.

An exclusion can restrict participation in federal contracts or assistance programs. Its scope depends on the record and issuing agency. A search with no match does not establish clearance or eligibility, and a record missing from a later snapshot does not prove reinstatement. Do not describe someone as debarred based only on a name match.
