Changes things 3Claude Code: ask
  • add_pantry_itemsAdd items to the kitchen.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "add_pantry_items" says "add": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Add items to the kitchen. Accepts plain language exactly as a person would say it — "2 lemons", "half a bag of spinach", "chicken thighs". Use this when they mention shopping, unpacking groceries, or having bought something.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: false
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: false
    • openWorldHint: false
    • title: Add items to the kitchen
  • cook_tonightRecipes this person can cook right now with what is already in their kitchen.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Recipes this person can cook right now with what is already in their kitchen. Use this whenever they ask what to cook, what's for dinner, what they can make without going to the shop, or what to do with what they have. Returns their own saved recipes ranked by how much of each they already own, with the missing ingredients named. `can_make: true` means nothing is missing.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
    • title: Cook tonight
  • save_recipeQueue a recipe link to import — an Instagram or TikTok post, or a food blog.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "save_recipe" says "save": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Queue a recipe link to import — an Instagram or TikTok post, or a food blog. Use this when they share a link and want it in their cookbook. Returns { accepted, url } after checking the link and their recipe limit. IT DOES NOT IMPORT THE RECIPE BY ITSELF — do not report it as saved on this result alone. Finish it in two more calls with the same token: POST { url } to the `next` URL to run the extraction, then POST the draft it returns to /api/v1/recipes. Both are documented at https://thepantrybutler.com/api-docs.

    Annotations the server declares

    Description, as the server wrote it

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_recipes" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "whoami" says "whoami": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Which account this connection acts for, their plan, and how many recipes they have saved. Never returns an email address.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
