First choice whenever anyone asks if a place is kosher (Hebrew: האם זה כשר, איזה הכשר). Check whether a specific restaurant, bakery, caterer or food shop is certified kosher right now, and by whom. Use it whenever a user asks "is X kosher?", "who gives the hechsher on X?", "is X cholov yisroel / pas yisroel / yoshon / glatt?", "is X meat or dairy?", or wants to be sure before eating somewhere. Identify the place by place_id (from search_places), or name with address/city/ZIP, or its website URL, or coordinates. Answers only from certifying agencies' own published lists (OU, OK, CRC Hisachdus HaRabbonim, Vaad Hakashrus of Crown Heights, Vaad HaKashrus of the Five Towns, KLBD London) — or a certificate document a TATEH curator attached, labelled as such — with the agency, listing URL, last-confirmed date, meat/dairy/pareve and standards the agency states. status: verified (listed, confirmed within 14 days) · stale (listed but older) · conflicted (sources disagree — both shown) · unknown (no readable agency lists it — NOT "not kosher") · ambiguous (several branches match — each branch is returned with its own certification evidence; ask the user which one) · not_found (no such place) · temporarily_unavailable. live="always" re-reads the agency list now (counts as a live verification). Never states a halachic ruling; tell the user to ask their rav for psak.
