List meal-plan rules used by the random-meal generator.
AI agents call list_mealplan_rules to retrieve information from Mcp Mealie without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves existing meal-plan rules from the Mealie system. The word 'List' combined with the read-only nature of fetching rules for display purposes makes this a Read operation. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed; it simply returns information about meal-plan rules. Blast radius is minimal—an AI agent cannot cause harm by listing rules.
