fda_suggest_subsidiaries

Tool of FDA Data MCP

Discover subsidiary and related company names using FDA datasets first, then supplement with external corporate hierarchy sources (SEC EDGAR Exhibit 21 and GLEIF) when available. Costs 2 credits. Returns FDA name candidates, evidence-backed company-record suggestions, EDGAR subsidiaries, GLEIF subsidiaries, existing aliases, and facility coverage stats. The coverage.unlinked_feis count indicates how many facilities may be missing from the current alias set. The workflow is conservative and explainable: it validates candidates against FDA company records instead of auto-linking them. Note: EDGAR and GLEIF may lag recent acquisitions or divestitures, so missing external results do not rule out FDA-visible subsidiaries. Recommended workflow: 1. fda_suggest_subsidiaries, 2. fda_link_subsidiaries for distinct child companies or fda_save_aliases for true same-company variants, 3. fda_manufacturing_risk_summary or fda_search_family_facilities. Related: fda_link_subsidiaries (persist explicit family links), fda_save_aliases (persist same-entity names), fda_manufacturing_risk_summary (family-aware company rollup), fda_search_family_facilities (family-aware FEI search).
