# seed_group_foods Run the group foods seeder using a Mealie-native payload. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `seed_group_foods`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/nikopol666-mealie-mcp/seed-group-foods ## Facts - Tool: `seed_group_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: Execute (High 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": "seed_group_foods", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why seed_group_foods is rated High This tool executes a seeder operation rather than simply reading or writing individual records. Seeders typically perform bulk initialization or population of data and their effects depend on the payload provided. While not immediately destructive (data can likely be rolled back), it is an executable operation that modifies system state at scale, making it more severe than simple Write operations. From the tool's own definition: "Tool runs a seeder operation ('Run the group foods seeder') which triggers external data manipulation in Mealie." ## Use case AI agents invoke seed_group_foods 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
