Tools (6)
🟢cook_tonight(limit)
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.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"limit": {
"type": "integer",
"minimum": 1,
"maximum": 50,
"default": 25,
"description": "How many recipes to return, best matches first."
}
}
}🟢list_pantry
Everything in this person's kitchen — pantry, fridge and freezer — with expiry dates where known. Use this when they ask what they have, what is in the fridge, or what is about to go off.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {}
}🟡add_pantry_items(items, location)
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.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"items": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "string"
},
"maxItems": 50,
"description": "Items in plain language, one per entry."
},
"location": {
"type": "string",
"enum": [
"pantry",
"fridge",
"freezer"
],
"default": "pantry",
"description": "Where it is being stored."
}
},
"required": [
"items"
]
}🟢list_recipes
The recipes this person has saved, newest first, with the creator each came from. Use this when they ask what they have saved or want to find a recipe by name.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {}
}🟡save_recipe(url)
Save a recipe from a link — an Instagram or TikTok post, or a food blog. Returns the capture endpoint to follow; importing runs an AI extraction and is a separate, slower call.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"url": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The recipe link."
}
},
"required": [
"url"
]
}🟢whoami
Which account this connection acts for, their plan, and how many recipes they have saved. Never returns an email address.
Input Schema

"type": "object",
"properties": {}
