The most dangerous Old Family Recipe tools

7 of Old Family Recipe's 12 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

How to control Old Family Recipe

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Old Family Recipe, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Deny destructive operations
{
  "recipe_delete": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations
{
  "family_invite": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "family_invite_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations
{
  "family_tree": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "family_tree_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.
