## MCP tools (6)

### `get_food_shelf_life` (~104 tokens)

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.

Input parameters:

- `food` (string, required): Food name. Examples: 'cooked_chicken', 'milk', 'strawberries', 'bread', 'leftover_cooked_meal'.

### `is_food_safe_to_eat` (~125 tokens)

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).

Input parameters:

- `days_since_stored` (number, required): Number of days since the food was stored under the named method.
- `food` (string, required): Food name. See list_supported_foods for valid values.
- `storage_method` (string, required): Where the food has been stored.

### `get_food_storage_tips` (~101 tokens)

Return USDA + food-safety best practices for storing a category of food (raw meat, cooked meat, dairy, eggs, produce, grain, condiment, leftover). Use this when a user asks how to store food, or how to extend shelf life.

Input parameters:

- `food_or_category` (string, required): Either a specific food (e.g., 'cooked_chicken') or a category ('raw_meat', 'dairy', 'produce', etc.).

### `calculate_food_waste_cost` (~116 tokens)

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.

Input parameters:

- `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).

### `list_supported_foods` (~35 tokens)

Return the full list of food items in the FreshTrack shelf-life database. Use this to discover what foods can be queried.

### `get_app_info` (~54 tokens)

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.
