## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to query FDA tobacco problem reports without obtaining your own openFDA API key. It is ideal for AI agents in pharma, device safety, or public health research that need structured adverse event data on tobacco products on demand. Prefer it over direct openFDA API calls when you want a keyless, pay-per-call access pattern via x402.

## Known failure modes

- No matching records found for the given query returns an empty array
- Upstream openFDA API unavailability causes a service error or timeout
