What can the agent actually do once connected?

Everything the CLEATUS REST API exposes: search 1M+ federal and SLED opportunities, pull AI-ranked recommendations, read full opportunity details, manage the pipeline and pursuits, create and update tasks, search market intelligence (agencies, contractors, contracting officers), run workflows, and search the Document Hub. Write actions are guarded with confirm-before-change and every call lands in the audit log.

Do I need a CLEATUS account first?

Yes. Account creation and the OAuth approval are the two steps that deliberately stay human; your agent can do everything else. No account yet? Ask your agent to set CLEATUS up: it hands you the signup link (7-day free trial), waits while you create the account, then verifies the connection itself. The same login works in the Claude Code connection flow.
