description: 'NutrientsDB publishes NO MCP server. This file is a CANDIDATE tool design derived from the
  one public OpenAPI operation — it is what an MCP server over this API would look like, not something
  the provider ships. It is deliberately NOT wired as a `type: MCPServer` pointer in apis.yml, because
  that pointer asserts a live agent surface and this one does not exist.'

  description: Search the public 1,000-food NutrientsDB sample by food-name fragment, or retrieve one
    food by its exact public_id. Returns the complete 86-field nutrient profile per 100 g for each match.

  input_schema_source: 'Inherits the real parameters of the findFoods operation: q (string, 2-100 chars),

  auth_required: false
notes:
- A single-operation API is a weak MCP candidate on its own; the more useful agent surface for NutrientsDB
  is the licensed dataset loaded locally, which is outside any hosted protocol.
- 'If the provider ever publishes a real MCP endpoint, re-run this pipeline: replace this file with the
  searched `tools/list` output, set status: published, and add the MCPServer pointer then.'
