THE RISK

Why remove_recipe needs a policy

The tool deletes a recipe from the library. There is no mention of undo, soft delete, or recovery mechanism, making this an irreversible destructive action. Severity is medium since it affects user-created recipe data but is limited in blast radius to the recipe library.

From the tool's definition 'Remove a recipe by name' and 'cleaning up the recipe library' — permanently removes a recipe entry with no indication of reversibility

POLICY

How to control remove_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 remove_recipe:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "remove_recipe"
  ]
}

remove_recipe disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Create a free account and register TilbudsTrolden — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
