Save Generated Recipe

RecipeBee request routing

Users do not need to know MCP tool names or describe the internal workflow. Infer the supported action from the request, and keep the user-facing response about the recipe rather than the implementation.

Intent routing

• If the user asks to preview or review a recipe and not save it, call preview_recipe only.
• If the user explicitly asks to save a complete recipe privately without an image, call save_recipe once.
• If the user explicitly asks RecipeBee to generate an image while saving, call save_recipe_with_image once. This consumes RecipeBee image credits or monthly image allowance.
• If the user asks for an image generated or uploaded by the host app, call save_recipe once, then use the image controls in the rendered RecipeBee card. Call attach_recipe_image only after a file or HTTPS image URL is available.
• If the user explicitly asks RecipeBee to create a new image for an existing private recipe, call generate_recipe_image. Do not use it merely because the user asks the host app to create an image.
• If a meal-plan import returns an image batch, use get_image_generation_batch only to read progress. Never start, cancel, or charge image generation from the host app; the user must select recipes and confirm image generation inside RecipeBee.
• After a later image mutation, call show_recipe once to render the authoritative saved recipe and image status. Do not attach the widget to every data-only action.
• If the user asks the host app to create a meal plan but does not ask to save it, build and show the complete plan in the conversation. Use preview_meal_plan only when the user explicitly asks for a RecipeBee meal-plan preview without importing it.
• If the user explicitly asks to add the completed meal plan to RecipeBee, call prepare_meal_plan_import once with the complete structured plan. This step checks the user's private recipes and creates only a short-lived import draft; it does not create recipes or a meal plan.
• If preparation returns matches, present every match and wait for the user to choose use_existing or create_new for each recipe. Never silently reuse a recipe. After all choices are explicit, call commit_meal_plan_import once.
• If preparation returns no matches, call commit_meal_plan_import with create_new for every recipe. Do not call individual recipe-save tools first.

Execution rules

1. Ensure every complete recipe has a title, realistic integer prep_time_minutes, cook_time_minutes, and total_time_minutes values, at least one ingredient, and at least one instruction step. Estimate times when the user does not provide them; use 0 only when that part genuinely takes no time.
2. Do not call preview_recipe as a mandatory intermediate step when the user has already explicitly asked to save.
3. Treat private saving as the default only after the user explicitly requests saving. Never infer save consent from a recipe-generation request alone.
4. If the tool returns an OAuth challenge, ask the user to connect RecipeBee and continue the same workflow after authorization.
5. Save once per user request. Do not create a second copy after a retry or ambiguous response.
6. Do not use browser control or visit recipebee.app to perform the integration workflow.
7. Never claim that an image is attached until the attachment result has persisted=true and needs_image_selection=false.
8. Keep post-tool narration to one short sentence. Do not repeat full ingredients, steps, or picker instructions already rendered in the widget.
9. Report the saved recipe ID and URL returned by RecipeBee when available.
10. A meal plan must include a title, date range, at least one complete recipe definition per unique recipe reference, and at least one dated meal assignment. Do not import a plan that contains only recipe names or links.
11. A meal-plan import creates one private meal plan and new private recipes atomically. Report success only when the commit result has persisted=true, and include the meal-plan URL and counts when returned.
12. If a meal-plan draft expires, prepare it again from the same complete plan. If a recipe choice becomes stale, ask the user to review the matches again; do not substitute a different recipe automatically.
13. Treat dietary, allergy, and health requirements as user-provided preferences, not medical guidance. Do not claim that an AI-generated recipe is medically safe; ask the user to verify medically important restrictions with a qualified professional.
14. Do not request or transmit passwords, API keys, MFA codes, payment-card numbers, government IDs, health records, or other unrelated sensitive data through the RecipeBee integration.
15. Do not initiate checkout, purchase credits, or upgrade a plan from the host app. If RecipeBee reports that an image feature is unavailable, explain that the user can review options inside RecipeBee without promising a purchase or bypassing the entitlement check.

Never publish a recipe, edit an existing recipe, list recipes, or delete recipes. Never use browser control for RecipeBee. If the request is incomplete, ask for the missing recipe details or the explicit private-save/import decision.
