The tools it lists (12, as of 2 days ago)

The tool-description rules found nothing in these descriptions. They look for instructions aimed at a model and for hidden characters; they cannot see what a tool does when it runs.

• search_manufacturer

  Resolve a company name to a Meridian manufacturer entity — the entry point for every other tool. Names are unified across spelling variants and scripts, so "Medtronic", "Медтроник" and "美敦力" reach the same entity, and subsidiaries resolve to the parent that owns them. Returns up to 5 candidates with a confidence rating and their market footprint. A plain web search cannot do this: a manufacturer's Asian registrations are filed under local-script names that never appear alongside the English one.

• get_registrations

  Every individual registration held by a manufacturer — product name, registration number, status, dates, risk class and source registry — filterable by market and status. Each row also carries an `enrichment` block Meridian derived: device class as a RANK on that market's own scale ("3 of 4") rather than a label that means different things in different markets, the resolved device type, the clinical area with the number of signals that agreed on it, the FDA product code, country of origin, brand and intended use. Each row carries a `provenance` block naming any field Meridian derived (inferred

• get_registration

  One registration, complete. Everything get_registrations returns for that row, plus the registry's own market-specific fields under `registryFields` — Korea's renewal window, Australia's intended purpose, Saudi's authorisation pathway, the EUDAMED device attributes (implantable, sterile, reusable, measuring, latex, tissue origin, legislation), and the manufacturer address — none of which fit a list row. `sourceUrl` links the authority's own record so you can check us. Reading one device exhaustively costs the same as seeing it in a list, and re-reading it is free.

• get_license_holders

  The local entities that actually hold a foreign manufacturer's registrations — the importers, distributors and regulatory consultants named on the licence in each market. In Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand the registry names this local party rather than the OEM, so this is the only way to see who controls market access for a product, who a competitor is partnered with, and whether a manufacturer uses one partner or many.
