No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/uk_product_recalls_search for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Search the UK Office for Product Safety and Standards’ consumer product safety notices: product safety alerts, product safety reports and product recalls (toys, electrical goods, childcare articles, cosmetics, furniture, vehicles parts and more; about 3,800 notices, newest first). Each hit gives the notice id, type, title, product category, risk level (serious, high, medium, low), the notice date and the link. Filter by words in the notice (a brand or product such as pushchair, a hazard such as electric shock), alert_type (alert, report, recall), product_category, risk_level and a notice date range; page through with page. Zero matches states what was searched. Example: query=“pushchair”, alert_type=“recall”, date_from=“2024-01-01”. For the hazard, corrective action, brand, barcodes and batch use uk_product_recall_get.
