RISK

Why update_meal_plan_rule is rated Medium

The tool modifies existing meal plan rules but does not delete them or execute arbitrary code. The effect is reversible—the rule can be updated again or reverted. Blast radius is medium since meal planning rules affect meal suggestions and shopping lists, but impact is limited to configuration data within the Mealie system, not financial transactions or irreversible deletions.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'update' and description states it modifies a meal planning rule, which is a reversible operation on data within the Mealie recipe/meal planning system.
