What types of products can I query with this skill?

You can query data for human drugs, medical devices, human food, animal/veterinary products, and various chemical substances.

How does the skill handle large datasets?

The skill includes built-in support for pagination and an automated query_all method that can fetch up to 5,000 results in a single operation.

Can this skill track drug shortages?

Yes, it provides access to the Drugs@FDA endpoint which includes both current and resolved supply issues and historical approval data.

Do I need an API key to use the FDA Database skill?

While it works without one for low-volume testing, an API key is highly recommended to increase your daily limit from 1,000 to 120,000 requests.

Is the data sourced directly from the government?

Yes, the skill queries the official openFDA API, which provides public access to the FDA's structured datasets.
