# How to Research Side Effects with Copilot

Copilot retrieves adverse event data as structured objects for building health information features. Parse side effect frequencies into UI components, create drug comparison dashboards from the structured output, and build safety information displays directly from the API response format.

## Setup

{"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}

## Steps

1. Add ToolRouter to Copilot MCP config
2. In Copilot Chat: "Check adverse events for ibuprofen"
3. Copilot returns structured adverse event data
4. Use the data in your health application
5. Query additional drugs for comparison

## Example Prompt

```
Pull adverse event data for acetaminophen so I can display safety information in our app.
```

## Tips

- Structured response format makes it easy to parse into UI components
- Build side effect comparison features using multiple queries
- Cache results since adverse event data changes slowly
