The level of service we hold ourselves to
Regulation (EU) 2023/138 requires States to publish certain datasets — called high-value — free of charge, in machine-readable form, with an API and bulk download. We apply this level of service to this register, whether the law requires it or not.
- Free of charge — every page and every machine file on this site is open, with no account and no key.
- Machine-readable — manifest, field schema, real sample.
- With an API — 6 callable tools, described with their input schema, wired into the page for an agent, and the portfolio's MCP server.
- Bulk download — ⚠️ not served free here: the raw data can be downloaded free from the source, named in the footer; our normalised version is described on the data page.
⚠️ This register is not designated “high-value” in law: it is a level of service we set ourselves, not a regulatory guarantee. Details for agents · catalogue.

An example that works, end to end
The example starts from the get_sample tool, which reads the served sample.
Prompt to give an agent
Use the get_sample tool of fda-inspection-records.pages.dev and summarise the first three entries.What the tool returns
| id | 1010875 |
|---|---|
| url | https://fda-inspection-records.pages.dev/search/#i=1010875 |
| fragment | https://fda-inspection-records-data.pages.dev/r/cbb.json |
| name | C & S Wholesale Services, Inc. |
| city | Jacksonville |
| state | Florida |
| country | United States |
| inspections | 3 |
The same register can be queried through the portfolio MCP server (tools describe_register, get_schema, get_sample).
Reading one record by its identifier
The lookup_record tool takes the firm's FEI number (FDA Establishment Identifier). For 1010875 it reads https://fda-inspection-records-data.pages.dev/r/cbb.json (identifier modulo 4096, in hexadecimal on 3 digits) and returns the record shown at https://fda-inspection-records.pages.dev/search/#i=1010875. Checked when the site was built.
