Merge one food into another (combines usage across recipes).
AI agents call mealie_foods_merge to permanently remove resources in Mealie MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Merging one food into another is an irreversible operation that eliminates the source food entity and reassigns all its recipe associations to the target food. This cannot be undone without a full data restore, making it destructive in nature. The blast radius is high because it affects all recipes that reference the merged food item.
