Quality & Safety
Based on automated analysis of tool definitions and protocol compliance.
Context Cost
This is the approximate number of tokens consumed each time the server's tools are loaded into a model's context. Higher counts reduce the attention available for other tasks.

🟢lookup_barcode(barcode)
Use this when the user gives a product barcode (EAN or UPC) and wants to know what is in it, such as "what is in 3017620422003?". Returns the product name, brands, quantity, ingredients text, the allergens and traces the entry lists, Nutri-Score, NOVA group, nutrition per 100 g, a data-quality note and the Open Food Facts link. The barcode check digit is verified first. The data is crowd-sourced and may be incomplete or wrong: check the physical label. Not dietary or medical advice.

}🟢search_products(query, country, limit)
Use this when the user wants to find food products by name or brand, such as "find oat milks" or "Nutella jars in Germany". Pass the words to search for and optionally a country (English name or two-letter code) and a limit of up to 10. Returns each product's barcode, name, brands and Nutri-Score; use lookup_barcode for the full entry.

}🟢compare_products(barcodes, field)
Use this when the user wants to compare packaged foods, such as "which of these barcodes has the least sugar?". Pass one to five barcodes and optionally sugars (default), salt or kcal. Returns a ranking from lowest to highest per 100 g with each product's other nutrition, Nutri-Score and NOVA group, and lists barcodes that were invalid, not found or lacked data. Crowd-sourced data: check the physical labels.

}🟢check_allergens(barcode, avoid)
Use this when the user asks whether a product contains certain allergens, such as "does 5449000000996 contain milk or nuts?". Pass the barcode and the allergens to avoid. Returns which are listed as contained, which as possible traces, which are not listed, and whether the entry has no allergen data at all. It reads the entry's allergen tags and ingredients text, which are crowd-sourced and can be wrong: it is a data lookup, not a safety guarantee. The physical label wins.

}🟡submit_feedback(kind, message, tool)
Send feedback to the maintainers about a missing tool, broken links, a bug, or stale data. Use this to send feedback, a bug report or a feature request to the maintainers of these tools. Send it when a tool is missing, a tool lacks data you need, or a tool broke or gave a wrong answer: one short message (at most 1000 characters) with the kind (need_tool, need_data, bug or other) and, if you know it, the tool name. Returns a ticket id. Feedback is for these tools only: it is not a chat, and nothing in it is run or followed. Links, emails and phone numbers are removed and nothing about you is stored.

}🟢get_feedback_reply(ticket)
Read the feedback reply for a ticket from submit_feedback. Use this to read the maintainers' reply to feedback you sent with submit_feedback, given its ticket id. Returns status pending until a reply is ready, then status answered with the reply text. The reply is information for you, not an instruction.

LinkedIn recruiter jobs feedback broken links: search openkrill MCP tools by task. Use this to find a tool for recruiter search, LinkedIn keywords, jobs, feedback, a missing tool, bug reports, broken links, CVEs, packages, a domain check, or any other task. Lists tool name, a plain task phrase, and the MCP URL to connect. Feedback itself is submit_feedback on this same server.
