HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/nikopol666-mealie-mcp/get-recipe-image-media ## Facts - Tool: `get_recipe_image_media` - Server: Mealie MCP Server (`nikopol666/mealie-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/nikopol666-mealie-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/nikopol666/mealie-mcp - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "get_recipe_image_media", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why get_recipe_image_media is rated Low This tool performs a read-only operation to retrieve and return image data in base64 format. There are no destructive, financial, or executable side effects. It does not modify any data or trigger external operations. The only risk is potential information disclosure if unauthorized image access is possible, which is a low-severity concern in the context of a recipe management system. From the tool's own definition: "The tool description states it 'Download[s] a recipe image file as base64-safe data.' This is a retrieval operation with no side effects—it only fetches and returns existing image data without modifying, creating, or deleting anything." ## Use case AI agents call get_recipe_image_media 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**.
