# merge_foods Merge one food into another (consolidate duplicates). Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `merge_foods`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/nikopol666-mealie-mcp/merge-foods ## Facts - Tool: `merge_foods` - Server: Mealie MCP Server (`nikopol666/mealie-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/nikopol666-mealie-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/nikopol666/mealie-mcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "merge_foods", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why merge_foods is rated Medium Merging foods modifies the food database by consolidating duplicate entries into a single record. While this is a write operation that could affect meal planning and nutritional data, it is reversible (the original food entry can be separated if needed) and does not permanently destroy data like deletion would. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'merge_foods' and description 'Merge one food into another (consolidate duplicates)' indicates modifying food data by combining records. This is a reversible write operation that consolidates data rather than deleting it." ## Use case AI agents use merge_foods to create or update resources in Mealie MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mealie MCP Server environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
