`aphis_inspection_filter_options`

Pack: aphis-animal-care · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/aphis-animal-care/mcp

List the filter vocabularies aphis_inspection_reports accepts: the 34 animal categories (DOGS, CATS, NONHUMAN PRIMATES, MARINE MAMMALS, …) and the 2,165 Animal Welfare Act citation section codes (e.g. “3.1(a) - Housing facilities, general”). Use this to find the exact citation string before filtering an inspection search. Sourced from the USDA APHIS eFile Public Search Tool.

`query`	string	no	Filter both lists to entries containing this text, e.g. “3.1”, “housing”, “primate”, “veterinary care”.
