Tool inventory
Tools (3)
🟢request_data(need)
FREE, no payment. Describe in your own words the data you are trying to buy — anything, not just food — and get back whether we operate a service that supplies it, with the MCP endpoint if so. Every request is catalogued so repeatedly-requested data gets built. Nothing identifying is stored, only the words of the request.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"need": {
"type": "string",
"description": "What you are looking for.",
"examples": [
"live electricity spot prices by ZIP"
]
}
},
"required": [
"need"
],
"additionalProperties": false
}⚪demand_report(days)
FREE, no payment. The aggregate of what agents have told us they are looking for, most-requested first, with the categories nothing available yet serves.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"days": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Window in days, default 30, max 90.",
"examples": [
"30"
]
}
},
"additionalProperties": false
}🟢food_by_barcode(barcode)
Look up a packaged food by its barcode and get the fields that answer "can this person eat this?" — ingredients, allergens, traces, additives, Nutri-Score, NOVA processing group and per-100g nutrition. Data is from Open Food Facts, which is crowd-sourced and openly licensed: coverage is uneven by country and a product can be listed with most nutrition empty, so every response carries a completeness flag and missing values are null rather than estimated. A barcode not in the database returns not_found and is NOT charged. Costs $0.005 USDC per call via x402 on Base.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"barcode": {
"type": "string",
"description": "6-14 digit product barcode, e.g. '737628064502'.",
"examples": [
"737628064502"
]
}
},
"required": [
"barcode"
],
