## Tools
- check_additive - Retrieve verified food additive safety data including toxicological evaluations, regulatory status, and dietary compatibility from 6,450+ food additive records. Input: additive common name, E-number, or CAS number (e.g. 'aspartame', 'E951', '22839-47-0'). Returns: safety score (1-10 scale), ADI (Acceptable Daily Intake) with source, JECFA evaluation history (ADI status, functional class, evaluation year), EFSA toxicology data (ADI/TDI/NOAEL values, genotoxicity), EU and US regulatory status, Israel MOH permitted-additive status, IARC classification, health concerns, allergen flags, dietary compatibility (vegan, halal, kosher, diabetic), PubChem chemistry data, common foods, and banned-country list. Sources: JECFA (6,563 evaluations), EFSA (5,251 substances), EU food additive regulations, US FDA GRAS, Israel MOH, IARC. For food additive safety assessment and regulatory compliance. Do not use for full ingredient-list scans (use check_ingredient_list), nutrition queries (use check_nutrition), or pesticide MRLs (use check_pesticide_mrl). Endpoint: https://food-mcp-server.rootsbybenda.workers.dev/mcp
- check_ingredient_list - Scan a packaged-food product ingredient list for additive safety risks, regulatory compliance, allergens, and dietary compatibility across target markets. Input: comma-separated ingredient list as printed on food packaging (up to 60 ingredients). Returns per-ingredient: matched additive name, E-number, safety score (1-10), category, EU/US status, health concerns, allergen flags, and ADI. Returns overall: LOW/MODERATE/HIGH risk assessment, average safety score, flagged high-risk additives with reasons and banned-country data, allergen warnings, and market-specific compliance notes. Database: 6,450+ food additives with 77,278 synonyms for fuzzy matching. For food product safety screening and market compliance. Do not use for single additive lookup (use check_additive), nutrition facts (use check_nutrition), or pesticide MRLs (use check_pesticide_mrl). Endpoint: https://food-mcp-server.rootsbybenda.workers.dev/mcp
- search_additives - Search food additive records by keyword, function, category, dietary filter, or health concern for additive discovery and selection. Input: food additive keyword (e.g. 'preservative', 'sweetener', 'hyperactivity', 'banned', 'E1') with optional filter (high_risk, allergens, banned, not_vegan, not_halal). Returns: matching additive names, E-numbers, CAS numbers, Hebrew names, categories, functions, safety scores (1-10), EU/US status, health concerns, allergen flags, dietary status (vegan/halal/kosher), and ADI values. Database: 6,450+ food additives searchable by name, function, category, and Hebrew name. For food additive discovery and category exploration. Do not use when the user has an exact additive name/E-number for full safety data (use check_additive). Endpoint: https://food-mcp-server.rootsbybenda.workers.dev/mcp
- check_nutrition - Retrieve Israeli Ministry of Health official nutrition data for a food item by name in Hebrew or English. Input: food name (e.g. 'hummus', 'chicken breast', 'bread', or Hebrew equivalent). Returns per 100g: energy (kcal), protein, total fat, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, total sugars, alcohol, moisture; vitamins (A, C, E, D, K, B6, B12, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate); minerals (calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, selenium, sodium, potassium, choline); fats (cholesterol, saturated, mono/polyunsaturated, trans). Source: Israel Ministry of Health Nutrition Database (4,624 food items). For nutritional analysis and dietary reference. Do not use for additive safety (use check_additive) or pesticide MRLs (use check_pesticide_mrl). Endpoint: https://food-mcp-server.rootsbybenda.workers.dev/mcp
- check_pesticide_mrl - Check Israeli official pesticide Maximum Residue Limits (MRL) by pesticide active substance, crop, or pesticide-crop pair. Input: pesticide name, crop name, or combined query in Hebrew or English (e.g. 'glyphosate', 'tomato', 'chlorpyrifos apple'). Returns: active substance, crop (Hebrew and English), official MRL value in mg/kg (ppm), last update date, and pending regulatory changes. Source: Israel Ministry of Health Pesticide Residue Limits (3,708 pesticide-crop MRL records). For agricultural compliance and food safety residue assessment. Do not use for food additive safety (use check_additive), cannabis pesticide limits, or non-Israeli MRL regimes. Endpoint: https://food-mcp-server.rootsbybenda.workers.dev/mcp
