Returns a list of ingredients based on a simple style.
AI agents call list_ingredients to retrieve information from Recettes MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only operation—it queries and returns ingredient data from the MongoDB database without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any side effects. The retrieval of ingredient lists poses minimal security risk and aligns with the 'Read' category (search, list, get, fetch).
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_ingredients' and description 'Returns a list of ingredients based on a simple style' indicate a query operation that retrieves data without modification.
