List all NASA technology projects that have been updated since 2024-01-01.

I've found several projects updated since then. Here are the IDs: 14523, 14688, and 14701. Would you like me to fetch the details for any of these specific projects?

Show me the full details for NASA project ID 94566.

Project 94566 is titled 'Advanced Propulsion Concepts'. It is currently in the 'Active' stage and is led by the Marshall Space Flight Center. The primary goal is to develop high-efficiency thrusters for deep space missions.

Search for funding opportunities related to 'autonomous robotics'.

I found 2 opportunities matching 'autonomous robotics'. One is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) call with a max funding of $150,000. Would you like the full criteria?

You can use the `get_project` tool by providing the specific `projectId`. The agent will return comprehensive metadata including the project's description, status, and lead organizations.
