What create_mealplan does on Mealie MCP Server
AI agents use create_mealplan to create or update resources in Mealie MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mealie MCP Server environment.
Why create_mealplan is rated Medium
Creating a meal plan is a reversible write operation—it adds data to the system but can be modified or deleted later. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data permanently, or move money. The severity is medium because an agent could create large volumes of unwanted meal plans or assign inappropriate meals, but the impact is limited to one user's meal planning data and is easily corrected.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_mealplan' indicates creation of meal plan data. The sibling tools on this server (create_recipe, create_category, create_label, etc.) all perform data creation operations.
