Why add_recipe needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies recipe data within the meal planning system. It does not delete data (ruling out Destructive), does not execute external commands or arbitrary code (ruling out Execute), and does not involve financial transactions (ruling out Financial). The operations are reversible—recipes can be updated or removed later.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Add or update a recipe' which are create and modify operations. The description confirms it is used for 'saving a new recipe or updating an existing one'.

How to control add_recipe

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and TilbudsTrolden, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for add_recipe:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "add_recipe": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "add_recipe_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

add_recipe stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
