WHAT IT DOES

What get_admin_user does on Mealie MCP Server

AI agents call get_admin_user to retrieve information from Mealie MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why get_admin_user is rated Low

This tool retrieves user information by ID with no side effects. It performs a read-only query operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute code. The 'admin-visible' qualifier indicates permission-scoped access but does not change the read-only nature. Low severity because disclosure of user information in an internal admin context poses limited risk if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_admin_user' and description states 'Get one admin-visible user by ID' — the verb 'Get' indicates retrieval of existing data without modification.
