HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/nikopol666-mealie-mcp/upload-recipe-image ## Facts - Tool: `upload_recipe_image` - 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": "upload_recipe_image", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why upload_recipe_image is rated Medium This is a Write operation because it modifies recipe data by uploading or replacing an image resource. The severity is medium because misuse could result in unwanted recipe image modifications or potential abuse of storage/bandwidth, but the action is reversible (images can be re-uploaded or deleted). From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Upload or replace a recipe image' — this creates or modifies data (image attachment to a recipe) in a reversible manner." ## Use case AI agents use upload_recipe_image to create or update resources in Mealie MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context.
