  • get_data_freshnessReturns when the data was last activated, how many segments are live, and the state of the last run.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_data_freshness" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Returns when the data was last activated, how many segments are live, and the state of the last run. Call this first when you need to know whether the data is fresh.
  • get_supplier_exposureThe join: a federal contract whose supplier has an FDA shortage or recall.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_supplier_exposure" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    The join: a federal contract whose supplier has an FDA shortage or recall. Every row carries company_name, confidence (exact, probable or weak) and match_method. A cross source join is NEVER exact, because FDA and USAspending share no identifier. The claim is: this government supplier has an active FDA shortage or recall. It does NOT claim that this contract delivers that drug. Without a key you get exact and probable matches only, at most 20 rows, without the evidence field.
  • list_drug_recallsFDA drug recalls and enforcement reports.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_drug_recalls" says "list": a word for reading.

  • list_federal_drug_contractsUS federal contracts for drugs, product service code 6505, from USAspending.No findings

    Why it is in this group

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.
