**An agent can connect on its own if it already holds `api_key`.** Remote endpoint behind a static API key or header. The registry never sees the value; the agent fills the placeholder.

## Tools (9)

- `catalog_freshness`: How current the catalog is: the snapshot served and when it was built.
- `get_drug`: The full record for a Pillwise drug id: names, ingredients, form, strength, packages and recalls.
- `get_form_options`: The forms (tablet, liquid, patch…) and strengths a medication comes in, with labels for people and values to send back. Use the id from a search hit.
- `get_packages`: The package NDCs that belong to a Pillwise drug id.
- `list_recalls`: Drug recalls, filtered by at least one of ndc, drug_id or since.
- `list_shortages`: Drug shortages, filtered by at least one of ndc or drug_id.
- `lookup_ndc`: The package and drug for an NDC: 11 digits, 10 with hyphens (4-4-2, 5-3-2 or 5-4-1), or a product NDC. A bare 10-digit code is matched only as listed; no padding is guessed.
- `lookup_rxcui`: The clinical drug for an RxCUI.
- `search_medications`: Typeahead search by what a person calls a medication: brand, ingredient or everyday name. Returns brand and ingredient groups in the order a person would pick, not packages.
