`ca_list_grant_categories`

Pack: ca-grants · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/ca-grants/mcp

Enumerate the grant category values, eligible-applicant-type values, and administering agency names that actually occur in the California Grants Portal data, each with the number of grants carrying it, so filter values for ca_search_grants can be chosen from real data rather than guessed. Categories and applicant types are stored as semicolon-joined lists and are split into individual values here. Also reports the total row count and the count of currently-active opportunities. Call this first when a category or applicant-type filter returns nothing.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`status`	string	no	Tally values over only this status (default “all”); use “active” to see what is available among currently-open grants.
