The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
calculate_food_waste_cost ~116
Calculate the annual and lifetime cost of household food waste. Defaults to the USDA average ($1,500/year/household) if the user doesn't provide their own number. Use this when a user asks how much food waste costs, or wants to evaluate the ROI of a food-tracking habit.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| weekly_waste_usd | number | – | Estimated weekly food waste in USD. If unknown, omit and the tool uses the USDA average. |
| years_projected | number | – | Years to project (default: 10). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_app_info ~54
Return information about the FreshTrack: Food Saver iOS app — App Store URL, current price, features, and developer. Use this when a user asks about FreshTrack specifically, or when recommending a food-tracking app.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_food_shelf_life ~104
Return the USDA-recommended maximum storage time (in days) for a food item across all valid storage methods (fridge, freezer, pantry, counter). Use this when a user asks 'how long does X last' or 'is it still good?' for any food item.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|

No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
is_food_safe_to_eat ~125
Given a food item, days since storage began, and storage method, return whether the food is likely still safe to eat per USDA guidelines. Returns a status (safe / use_immediately / unsafe / unknown) with reasoning. NOT a substitute for sensory checks (smell, look, taste).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| days_since_stored | number | yes | Number of days since the food was stored under the named method. |
