## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability agent402-fda-recall-report-313a3244 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull an FDA recall report for metformin across all categories — drugs, food, and devices — and show me which ones are still ongoing?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a synthesized, human-readable FDA recall report with structured table data and cited sources for a specific drug, food product, ingredient, brand, or medical device. It is preferable over raw openFDA API queries when you need AI-synthesized narrative analysis alongside structured data, and when you want ongoing vs. terminated recall status summarized automatically. Use the scope parameter to narrow results when you know the product category.

## Known failure modes

- No recalls found for query — returns empty records array with zero counts
- Invalid scope enum value — likely returns a validation error
- FDA openFDA API downstream outage — may return incomplete or error response
- Ambiguous query matching too many unrelated products — report may be broad
- Network timeout if FDA API is slow to respond

## How this service works

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

## Output

Returns a structured JSON object containing: a markdown-formatted FDA recall report narrative with section headers, a metadata block (query, scope, record count, ongoing count, number of sources, synthesis model), a 'tables' array with structured recall records (feed type, initiation date, class, status, firm name, product description, reason for recall, distribution area, recall number), and a 'sources' array with numbered citations linking to the actual openFDA API queries used.
