What bulk_delete_recipes does on Mealie MCP Server

AI agents call bulk_delete_recipes 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.

Why bulk_delete_recipes needs a policy

This tool irreversibly removes data (recipes) from the Mealie system without the ability to undo the action. Deletion is permanent data loss. The bulk nature amplifies the impact by allowing mass deletion in a single operation, increasing the blast radius if misused by an AI agent. This clearly falls under Destructive category, which is more severe than Write (which covers reversible modifications).

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete multiple recipes through Mealie's bulk action endpoint.' The 'bulk' prefix indicates simultaneous deletion of multiple records.
