WHAT IT DOES

What search_recipes does on Mealie MCP Server

RISK

Why search_recipes is rated Low

It queries existing recipe data and returns results without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any code. This aligns with the Read category definition of retrieving or querying data with no side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_recipes' and description 'Search for recipes in Mealie with advanced filtering options' indicate a query operation that retrieves data without modification or side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs search_recipes safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mealie MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For search_recipes, this is the rule to start with:

search_recipes Allowed

search_recipes is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_recipes": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mealie MCP Server, apply this rule, and every search_recipes call is checked against it from then on.
