FDA recall report (drug, food, device)

Name a drug, food, ingredient, brand or medical device and get one cited FDA recall report: every matching enforcement record across the drug, food and device feeds (firm, class I/II/III, status, reason, distribution, date), organized and explained, with a downloadable records appendix. Send POST /v1/recall-report with the required field query and pay $0.60 per call over x402 with USDC on an EVM chain. It returns a JSON object with report, query, sources, tables and meta.

Live openFDA data, not medical advice. USDC (x402/MPP) or card (Stripe). Not cached.

The hosted connector at https://agent402.tools/mcp needs a payment for recall-report; the stdio package pays it from a wallet or from AGENT402_CREDITS_KEY. Local install: npx -y agent402-mcp.

Errors and behavior

• query is required. An input the tool rejects returns an HTTP 4xx whose body carries error, tool, expected, required and example, so the caller can correct it.
• A paid call that ends in any status of 400 or above is not charged over x402, MPP or a prepaid credits key: settlement is cancelled when the tool fails.
• Wallet-only: this tool runs a model, so it has no proof-of-work tier. A prepaid card-credits key (Authorization: Bearer a402_...) also pays it.
• Model-backed: the answer is generated by a model, so the same input can produce different wording.
• Long-running: payment settles after the work finishes, so only EVM exact payments are offered.
• A GET or HEAD to /v1/recall-report returns the same 402 quote, so the price can be read without a body.
• An Idempotency-Key header makes a retried paid call replay the first 200 instead of charging again (an answer larger than 1 MB and a streamed response are not replayed).

Paid call (JavaScript agent)

import { wrapFetchWithPayment } from "@x402/fetch";
import { x402Client } from "@x402/core/client";
import { registerExactEvmScheme } from "@x402/evm/exact/client";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";

const client = new x402Client();
client.setSpendControls?.(false); // keep your own spending ceiling in code
registerExactEvmScheme(client, { signer: privateKeyToAccount(KEY) });
const payFetch = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, client);

const res = await payFetch("https://agent402.tools/v1/recall-report", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "query": "losartan"
  }),
});
