Capabilities

Tools 2

get_recall

Fetch the full Recall Canary record for a single U.S. federal recall, given the agency and slug returned by search_recalls. Includes the hazard description, the affected product list with lot codes and UPCs, the recommended consumer action, distribution, the agency source link, and the firm slug (`firm.slug`, with `firm.page_url` when the firm has a page) for search_recalls' `firm` filter. Also resolves preliminary agency press releases: an orphan, or a linked one that kept its own URL (its recalls in `linked_recalls`). Read-only.

Discovered
search_recalls

Search the Recall Canary index of U.S. federal product recalls (FDA, FSIS, CPSC, NHTSA) by keyword, agency, severity, category, distribution state, hazard, firm, lifecycle (open or ended), or date window. Returns up to 50 matching records per page with abbreviated content (title, firm, severity, date, and the canonical URL of each); call get_recall to fetch the full record. With a keyword, the best matches come first unless `sort` says otherwise. Unknown agency, severity, category, state, status and date values are rejected with an error message describing the allowed values. An unknown `hazard` or `firm` is also an error. Read-only.
