Amazon mws ability to take notice of restricted products

When I'm using my account api keys, which endpoint and which API do I need to hit to be able to tell if I can sell a given product or not?

According to https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_left_ac?ie=UTF8&nodeId=200277040, prohibition depends on the country's law.So, no api outputs whether your all products are sellable or not.
"For some product categories, sellers may not create product listings without prior approval from Amazon. In addition, sellers may be required to obtain additional approval to list certain products in certain categories. To request access to a specific category, see" https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=14113001

Have you looked at the products API?

You can check out the example response in the bottom of this page. It holds the properties of the product in question and I think you can deduce what you need from that.

Also, this link if for the full API docs where I'm sure you can find more information.

Edit:

This is Amazon's product guidelines. You can see which products can be sold in general and how they should be presented. The API can only be used on listed products i.e. products that are already ready to be sold
