Food-alert search is a parameterised read-only tool. No MCP prompt was added because it is not a multi-step workflow; the resource covers only the small FHRS/FHIS rating vocabulary, not changing alert results.
Data Coverage
Source: Food Standards Agency open data.
Licence: Open Government Licence v3.0.
Coverage: Local-authority feeds for England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland, refreshed daily; each authority controls when ratings are submitted or changed.
Caveats: Rating values remain strings because FHRS and Scotland's FHIS use different schemes.
