scale_recipe · Recettes MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What scale_recipe does on Recettes MCP Server

AI agents invoke scale_recipe to trigger actions in Recettes MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why scale_recipe needs a policy

scale_recipe triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once — it starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

Verdict

scale_recipe Rate-limited

scale_recipe stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
