Changes things 2Claude Code: ask
  • check_productIs this product recalled?No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Is this product recalled? Give whatever you have: a product name and brand, a UPC/EAN/GTIN barcode, a model number, an NDC drug code or a lot code. Returns matching recalls from 9 US agencies (CPSC, FDA, NHTSA, US Coast Guard, FAA and more) with a confidence level (exact, strong, possible), the reasons for each match and the agency source link, plus early-warning signals from 5 sources (NHTSA investigations, CPSC violation notices, SEC filings, Prop 65 notices, SaferProducts.gov incident reports) that name the same model, vehicle or brand. A signal is not a recall.

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    NHTSA recall campaigns for a vehicle, by 17-character VIN (decoded with NHTSA vPIC) or by make, model and year, plus live NHTSA consumer complaint counts for that make, model and year (not verified by NHTSA, not a safety determination). Give either vin, or make, model and year. Campaigns are filed for a make, model and year (model level); whether a campaign includes a vehicle, and whether its repair is done, is held in the vehicle maker's records, and any dealer of the make can check it with the VIN, free.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
