Return all known names for a drug concept

Returns the canonical name plus all known brand and generic names for a drug concept — essential for entity matching, since 'Tylenol', 'acetaminophen', 'paracetamol', and 'APAP' all map to one RxNorm concept. Accepts a name or RxCUI. RxNorm passthrough (cached); an outage returns 503 UPSTREAM_UNAVAILABLE. Charges 2 cost_units; 1 when the query is empty (rejected locally before RxNorm is called); an unknown query_type is a request-shape error, rejected unbilled (INVALID_INPUT).

Query parameters

include_receiptboolean

Set true to attach an execution receipt at meta.receipt — caller-verifiable sha256 hashes over the RFC 8785 (JCS) canonicalization of this call's as-received JSON body and its result (free, like include_trace). Reproduce with any JCS library: input_hash = sha256(jcs({"tool": <request path>, "args": <your body minus include_trace/include_receipt>})); result_hash = sha256(jcs(result)). For deterministic tools, same input on the same build reproduces result_hash.
