Example prompt: Can you search Grants.gov for federal grant opportunities related to 'rural broadband' and show me the top 10 results including agency names, open and close dates, and links?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to search live US federal grant data from Grants.gov by topic or keyword. It is the right choice when an agent needs structured grant metadata (agency, dates, opportunity numbers, assistance listings, direct links) without scraping Grants.gov directly. Prefer this over manual web search when the user wants machine-readable grant data they can filter, sort, or present in a report.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for obscure or misspelled keywords — returns empty opportunities array
- Grants.gov upstream unavailability causing delayed or failed responses
- Invalid or missing keyword parameter returns an error
- rows parameter outside 1–25 range may be rejected or clamped to defaults
- Grants.gov data may lag real-time changes to opportunity statuses by hours or days
