Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

check_additiveCheck a food additive by name, E-number, or CAS number. Use when the user asks whether an additive such as E171, aspartame, sodium benzoate, tartrazine, or a preservative/color/sweetener is safe, permitted, high-risk, allergenic, vegan, halal, kosher, or regulated. Do not use for full ingredient-list scans, Israeli nutrition lookup, pesticide MRL questions, or broad additive discovery without a specific additive. The response includes additive identifiers, safety score, ADI, JECFA/EFSA evidence, EU/US/Israel status, health concerns, allergens, and dietary compatibility.
check_ingredient_listScan a packaged-food ingredient list for additive safety and regulatory flags. Use when the user pastes a label or asks to review a product for high-risk additives, banned additives, allergens, or vegan/halal/kosher compatibility in a target market. Do not use for single additive lookup, nutrition facts lookup, pesticide residue limits, or free-text additive category discovery. The response includes matched additives, risk scores, market-specific regulatory notes, allergen and dietary flags, and an overall food safety assessment.
search_additivesSearch food additives by keyword, function, category, dietary status, or health concern. Use when the user asks to find preservatives, colorants, sweeteners, emulsifiers, allergens, banned additives, non-vegan additives, non-halal additives, or high-risk E-numbers before checking one additive. Do not use when the user provides a full food label, an exact additive needing safety evidence, a nutrition query, or a pesticide/crop residue question. The response includes matching additive names, E-numbers, categories/functions, risk indicators, dietary flags, and filter-matched context.
check_nutritionCheck Israeli Ministry of Health nutrition data for a food item in Hebrew or English. Use when the user asks for calories, macros, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, sugars, fiber, cholesterol, or per-100g nutrition for a food. Do not use for additive safety, ingredient-list compliance, pesticide MRLs, drug nutrition interactions, or general recipe advice without a food item. The response includes per-100g energy, macronutrients, micronutrients, fatty acids, cholesterol, sugars, fiber, and source food names where matched.
check_pesticide_mrlCheck Israeli pesticide maximum residue limits by pesticide, crop, or combined query. Use when the user asks whether a pesticide residue is allowed on a crop, needs an MRL in mg/kg, or provides pairs like glyphosate tomato or chlorpyrifos apple. Do not use for food additive safety, packaged ingredient lists, nutrition facts, cannabis pesticide testing limits, or non-Israeli MRL regimes. The response includes active substance, crop, official MRL value and unit, update date, regulatory notes, and pending-change notes where available.
