## Run it

From code, with a Fous API key in `FOUS_API_KEY`; the answer's `data` holds the output:

```bash
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"method":"openfoodfacts.org/get_product","input":{"product":"Nutella Ferrero"}}'
```

From an AI agent connected to the Fous MCP server: its `run` with the same method and input. To connect one, give it `set up https://fous.com/SKILL.md`.

## Ask your agent

- Look up barcode 3017620422003 and tell me its Nutri-Score and NOVA level.
- Is the Oreo Original biscuit pack from Mondelez safe for someone with a nut allergy?
- Show me the nutrition per 100 g and per serving for Coca-Cola Zero 330 ml can.
- Find the product with barcode 5000159484695 and list its countries of sale and a photo link.
