## 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 clinicalintelpulse-fda-drug-recall-checker-f8a8bd24
```

Example prompt: Can you check if metformin 500mg has been recalled by the FDA — I want to know if there's an active or past recall, what class it is, and what I should do about it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a patient, caregiver, pharmacist, or health assistant agent needs to quickly verify whether a specific medication has been or is currently subject to an FDA recall, and wants a plain-language explanation of the recall class and recommended next steps — rather than navigating the FDA website directly.

## Known failure modes

- Drug name not found in FDA enforcement database — returns no recall records
- Ambiguous drug name matching multiple products — may require more specific input (e.g., NDC code)
- FDA database temporarily unavailable — service may return an error or stale data
- Payment of 0.1 USDC not processed — returns 402 Payment Required
- Medication exists but has no recall history — returns a clear 'no recalls found' response

## How this service works

Is my medication recalled? Checks the FDA enforcement databases (drug AND food — infant formula and supplements are filed under food) for active and past recalls, explains the recall class (I/II/III) in plain language, and lays out what to do. For patient, caregiver, pharmacy, and health-assistant agents.

## Output

Returns recall status (active or historical), recall class (I, II, or III) with a plain-language explanation of severity, recall reason, affected lot numbers or NDC codes if available, and actionable guidance on what the patient, caregiver, or pharmacy should do next.
