HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/nikopol666-mealie-mcp/trigger-recipe-action ## Facts - Tool: `trigger_recipe_action` - 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": "trigger_recipe_action", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why trigger_recipe_action is rated High This tool executes an action on a recipe object. Without knowing the specific range of actions available, the ability to 'trigger' actions represents execution capability that could have side effects beyond simple CRUD operations. While not destructive by nature, it goes beyond Read (retrieval) and Write (creation/modification), as it invokes operations whose outcomes depend on the argument passed. From the tool's own definition: "The tool description states 'Trigger one household recipe action for a recipe slug.' The term 'trigger' combined with 'action' indicates the tool executes or initiates some operation on a recipe, the effects of which depend on what action is being triggered." ## Use case AI agents invoke trigger_recipe_action 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**.
