# update_many_recipes Replace/update multiple recipes through Mealie's batch endpoint. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `update_many_recipes`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/nikopol666-mealie-mcp/update-many-recipes ## Facts - Tool: `update_many_recipes` - 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": "update_many_recipes", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why update_many_recipes is rated Medium This tool falls under Write category as it modifies existing recipes without permanently deleting them. However, the 'Replace' option and batch nature affecting multiple recipes elevates severity to 'high' due to the potential blast radius if an AI misuses this to overwrite many recipes at once. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'update_many_recipes' and description 'Replace/update multiple recipes through Mealie's batch endpoint' indicate the tool modifies recipe data in bulk." ## Use case AI agents use update_many_recipes 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**.
