What clean_admin_temp does on Mealie MCP Server
AI agents invoke clean_admin_temp to trigger actions in Mealie MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why clean_admin_temp is rated High
This tool executes a system-level operation (admin cleanup) that performs side effects on the server's filesystem. While not permanently destructive in the sense of deleting user data, it irreversibly removes files and cannot be easily undone if the wrong temporary files are affected.
From the tool's definition 'Run admin temporary file cleanup' indicates execution of a cleanup/maintenance operation that modifies the filesystem state by deleting temporary files.

The rule that runs clean_admin_temp safely

clean_admin_temp stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mealie MCP Server, apply this rule, and every clean_admin_temp call is checked against it from then on.
