Search Pipelines

Search_Pipelines returns GovTribe pipeline records with owner, creator, and stage context so callers can navigate and manage capture workflows.

When To Use

Typical questions this tool answers well:

• Which pipeline matches a specific pipeline name?

• Which pipelines are owned by or created by a specific user?

• Which stage IDs exist inside a pipeline so I can create a pursuit in the right stage?

• Which pipelines should be included or excluded by explicit GovTribe IDs?

• How many pipelines match filters before fetching full rows?

• fields_to_return: Optional field list for row payloads. If omitted and per_page > 0, rows default to govtribe_id. For per_page: 0 aggregation/meta calls, this field may be omitted. Specify fields_to_return whenever the user asks for fields beyond govtribe_id, and prefer omitting it in pure aggregation workflows.

  • type: array<string>

  • required: no

  • default: n/a

  • options: govtribe_id, govtribe_type, govtribe_url, name, description, created_at, updated_at, owner, creator, stages

Output Contract

• Top-level keys:

  • current_page: Current page number when per_page > 0.

  • data: Array of result rows when per_page > 0.

  • from: First row position in the current page.

  • last_page: Last page number for current filters.

  • path: GovTribe search URL for this result set.

  • per_page: Applied page size.

  • to: Last row position in the current page.

  • total: Total matched row count for current query filters.

  • contains: Dataset label for the returned result set.

  • search_results_id_can_generate_saved_search: Saved-search eligibility flag.

  • search_results_id: Server-side search result identifier.

  • view_search_results_url: URL to open this exact result set.

  • per_page: 0 behavior: response omits row/pagination keys and returns path, total, contains, search_results_id_can_generate_saved_search, search_results_id, and view_search_results_url.

Usage Patterns

Pattern A: Resolve a pipeline by exact pipeline name. Tool: Search_Pipelines

{
  "query": "\"Demo Pipeline\"",
  "search_mode": "keyword",
  "fields_to_return": [
    "govtribe_id"
  ],
  "page": 1,
  "per_page": 10
}

Pattern B: Find pipelines owned by a specific user (after resolving user ID with Search_Users). Tool: Search_Pipelines

{
  "query": "",
  "search_mode": "keyword",
  "fields_to_return": [
    "govtribe_id"
  ],
  "owner_ids": [
    "<USER_ID>"
  ],
  "owner_ids_operator": "in",
  "page": 1,
  "per_page": 25
}

Pattern C: Exclude known pipelines while searching conceptually. Tool: Search_Pipelines

{
  "query": "capture workflow for grants and state procurement",
  "search_mode": "semantic",
  "fields_to_return": [
    "govtribe_id"
  ],
  "page": 1,
  "per_page": 20,
  "pipeline_ids": [
    "<PIPELINE_ID_1>",
    "<PIPELINE_ID_2>"
  ],
  "pipeline_ids_operator": "not_in"
}

Pattern D: Get match count and reusable result links without fetching rows. Tool: Search_Pipelines

{
  "query": "",
  "search_mode": "keyword",
  "per_page": 0
}

Pattern E: Find a destination pipeline and extract a triage-stage ID for pursuit creation. Tool: Search_Pipelines

{
  "query": "\"AI Test\"",
  "search_mode": "keyword",
  "fields_to_return": [
    "govtribe_id"
  ],
  "page": 1,
  "per_page": 10
}

Then select data[0].stages entry where type is triage (or the desired non-terminal user stage) and pass that stage ID into Create_Pursuit.
