note: OSFI publishes NO MCP server, and none exists for Canada's Open Government Portal in the official
  MCP registry, on npm under @modelcontextprotocol, or in OSFI's (empty) GitHub organization. The tools
  below are a CANDIDATE surface derived from the CKAN Action API actions that were verified live against
  OSFI's own datasets — every action and every resource_id below returned HTTP 200 anonymously on 2026-07-25.
  Nothing here is hosted.

not_covered:
- capability: regulatory filing
  reason: The Regulatory Reporting System is a human portal behind a Bank of Canada Connect login (HTTP
    401); it publishes no programmatic interface.
- capability: SQL over the datastore
  reason: datastore_search_sql is disabled on open.canada.ca (HTTP 400).
