How to control create_mealplan_bulk ↓

AI agents use create_mealplan_bulk to create or update resources in Mealie MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mealie MCP Server environment.

Medium Risk

This tool creates or modifies data (meal plan entries) reversibly. Users can later delete or modify these entries. The bulk operation increases the blast radius compared to single-item creation, warranting medium severity rather than low. It does not delete, execute code, move money, or trigger external operations, so Write is the appropriate category.

From the tool's definition Tool creates multiple meal plan entries in bulk. The description explicitly states 'Create multiple meal plan entries' with arguments for date, recipe_id, title, and entry_type, returning a success response.

Risk signalsBulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_mealplan_bulk gives an agent:

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

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

create_mealplan_bulk 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.

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