Build a safety snapshot for a drug

A drug's FDA label, most reported adverse events, recalls, recruiting trials and recent papers, each with its source and date.

Steps

At most, per call

A drug's public safety record is spread across agencies. openFDA holds the label, adverse event reports and recalls, ClinicalTrials.gov shows what is still being tested, PubMed indexes the papers and Tavily adds regulator news.

Before this job

The tools must be available in your connected Agentik catalog. Ask for the missing provider configuration if a tool is unavailable.

Step 1: Read the label
Start with boxed warnings, contraindications and warnings. Long sections come back shortened, so say so when you quote one.

Step 2: Count reports and read recalls
Report counts show what was reported, not how often it happens. Keep the two apart.

Step 3: Read trials and papers
Note the study populations, and whether a paper is a trial, a review or a case report.

Give this to your agent

Use my connected Agentik MCP server for this job: drug safety snapshot.

Build a dated safety snapshot for a drug. Read its FDA label, starting with boxed warnings and contraindications. Count the most reported adverse reactions, read recent recalls, list studies still recruiting and find recent safety papers. Search recent regulator news. Cite every point, say what each source can and cannot show, and keep this as a research summary rather than medical advice.

Use these Agentik tools for the written steps: openfda/drug-labels, openfda/drug-adverse-events, openfda/recall-enforcement, clinicaltrials/search-studies, pubmed/search, tavily/search. Inspect their current schemas and availability first. Ask for missing inputs and use identifiers returned by actual earlier results. The page's example identifiers illustrate input shapes. Quote more pages before expanding. Preserve source links, dates and uncertainty.

Before running anything, inspect each tool with inspect_tool, ask me for any input you don’t have instead of inventing it, and tell me the total price. Wait for my go. At the end, tell me what Agentik charged.

Each provider does one part

No single provider covers this job. Your agent calls each one for its part, from one connection.

Good to know

Adverse event reports do not prove that a drug caused the event, and their counts cannot give a rate.
This is a research summary, not medical advice. Treatment decisions belong with a clinician.

When to use something else

For regulated pharmacovigilance and signal detection, use a validated safety database. This playbook prepares a research summary from public sources.

Questions

What does the example cost?

At most $0.008 for the illustrated calls. The official records are free through Agentik, and the paid calls are the press, maps or email steps.

Does the result cover every source?

No. Public records have publication lags and search results can be incomplete. Keep the collection date, sample size and missing evidence visible.

Does this send messages or change an account?

No. These steps read public records and prepare a brief. Sending a message or changing an account requires a separate instruction.
