epicure-flavour-tools

epicure-flavour-tools is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from KAIKAKU-AI/epicure-mcp. It costs 45 tokens per session (353 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of read-only tools for exploring relationships between ingredients using a catalogue of ingredient data. It covers substitutions, flavour comparisons, cuisine associations, and flavour-space maps.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps find similar ingredients, compare pairs, explore cuisine profiles, navigate flavour trade-offs, identify flavour regions, and place ingredients on a two-dimensional flavour map.
Why use it?
It gives structured comparisons when exploring flavour combinations or possible ingredient replacements, while making clear that the results are not food-safety, allergy, medical, or nutrition advice.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

epicure-flavour-tools scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 13d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Epicure flavour tools

Epicure is a public, anonymous, read-only MCP over 1,790 ingredient embeddings. Results are deterministic statistical relationships from bundled artefacts — not food safety, allergy, medical, or nutritional advice.

When to use which tool

Goal Tool
Nearest substitutes / neighbours neighbors
Compare two ingredients on an axis compare_on_axis
Exact pair affinity pairing_score
Cuisine association cultural_profile
Axis relationships flavour_correlations
Rotate toward a direction/mode/ingredient morph (+ list_targets)
Named ICA factors list_factors, ingredient_on_factor
Trade-off frontier pareto_navigate
Flavour region / mode closest_mode
2-D atlas placement where_on_atlas
Diversified pairing graph find_pairings

Prefer compact defaults. Only request expanded detail when the user needs it. Use exact ingredient names from the Epicure catalogue; if a name fails, try a common synonym or ask the user to clarify.

Response posture

  • Cite the Epicure tool results; do not invent embeddings or scores.
  • Separate culinary creativity from safety: never claim allergen-free or dietary compliance from Epicure alone.
  • Prefer a short recommendation plus the supporting numbers or neighbours.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
