Through Agentik your AI calls each one for its part, from one connection and one prepaid balance. - **openFDA** (3 tools, free): The FDA label, adverse event report counts and recall notices. - **ClinicalTrials.gov** (1 tool, free): Studies still recruiting, with their conditions and sponsors. - **PubMed** (1 tool, free): Recent peer-reviewed papers on the drug's safety. - **Tavily** (1 tool, at most $0.008): Recent regulator news and safety communications. ## Give this to your agent ```text 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. ``` ## You provide - The generic drug name - The question you are answering - The period to cover ## Before this job - The tools must be available in your connected Agentik catalog.

Read the label Start with boxed warnings, contraindications and warnings. Long sections come back shortened, so say so when you quote one. - [openFDA drug labels](/tools/openfda/drug-labels.md) `openfda/drug-labels` (openFDA): free ### 2.

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. ## Drug safety snapshot: 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. ## Keep going - [Literature review](/literature-review.md): The most cited and most recent papers on a question from OpenAlex and Crossref, research found by meaning with Exa, and background from Wikipedia, in a review with citations. - [Fact-check a claim](/fact-check.md): A claim checked against the web, the news, research papers and Wikipedia, with where it started and what is still uncertain. - [Market research](/market-research.md): The companies in the space, their pricing pages, Google search demand for the category, and what buyers say on Lemmy and X. - [Research tools for your agent](/tools/research.md) - [Knowledge tools for your agent](/tools/knowledge.md) [All playbooks](/playbooks.md) · [Connection guides](/docs/clients.md) · [Billing](/docs/billing.md) --- [HTML page](/drug-safety-snapshot) · [Agent index](/llms.txt)
