What problem does it solve? Accessing FDA safety and regulatory data requires learning the openFDA query syntax, managing rate limits, and handling pagination across 28 different endpoints, which is error-prone when done manually. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Search, Count, and Download: Run structured queries against all 28 openFDA endpoints across drugs, devices, foods, tobacco, cosmetics, animal health, substances, and transparency data, with results saved to JSON files. - Rate Limit Management: The wrapper script enforces polite request pacing and supports an optional FDA_API_KEY to raise the daily limit from 1,000 to 120,000 requests. - Bulk Downloads with Safety Caps: Auto-paginate large result sets with a 25,000-record safety cap to prevent runaway API usage. - Use Case: A pharmacovigilance researcher needs the top adverse reactions reported for metformin. The skill runs a count query on the drug event endpoint using the MedDRA reaction field and returns the top terms as JSON. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to search openFDA for adverse event reports involving a specific drug, for example: find the top 10 reported reactions for aspirin using the openFDA skill.
