Befana connects to ad-free recipes with precise ingredient measurements. Muse can search recipes, scale portions, plan meals, and generate shopping lists from your selections.

Example request: "Help me plan meals for the week and create a shopping list from those recipes"

Tools:
- search_recipes: Find recipes on Befana by keywords, ingredients, time or diet. Use when the cook asks "what's for dinner?", "something vegetarian under 30 minutes", "a good banana bread", "something with the spinach I have", or "show me my chili" (mine: true for their own, private ones included)
- get_recipe: One recipe in full, scaled to any servings, US or metric, with every amount written into the step that uses it, so steps can be read aloud as they are. Use when the cook picks a recipe, asks "how much butter is that in tablespoons?" (pass units_for; the list and the steps follow,
- get_cook_steps: A recipe as hands-free steps for cooking along: a gather list, then one step at a time with its amounts, the ingredients it uses, its tip and any timer. Use when the cook says "walk me through it", "I'm cooking it now", "what's next?" (pass step for just that one, or from_step to
- build_shopping_list: Merge recipes (each at its own servings) and anything else into one shopping list by aisle, in what a store sells (10 cloves garlic → 1 head). Use for "make me a list", "what do I need to buy?" or "add paper towels and 2 lb bananas" (extra_items keep the cook's amounts). What the
- update_shopping_list: Change a saved list after the cook answers what build_shopping_list or plan_meals set aside as likely_have, or says how the trip went. remove: things they have (they come off, and count as left off); need: set-aside things they're out of (they move to the buy aisles); add: anythi
- plan_meals: Plan dinners and return the finished week in one call: picks by day (varied, perishables first, one new to the cook), merged shopping list (list), prep_order, substitutions and one true line (say). Use when the cook says "what should we eat this week?", "plan dinners", "groceries
- update_meal_plan: Change the cook's saved meal plan in place: swap a day for another pick (constraints: faster, max_minutes, tags, query, or a slug the cook chose), drop a day, or add one, keeping their other days. Use when the cook says "swap Tuesday for something faster", "not the salmon", "we'r
- order_groceries: Send a shopping list to a grocer near the cook: into their cart where the store allows it (King Soopers and other Kroger stores, once connected), else one list link, else a search link per item. Use when the cook says "order these", "get it delivered", "send it to my store". No s
- draft_recipe: Turn a recipe the cook pasted, typed or linked into a draft to check: ingredients matched, steps in plain words with the amounts as tags, servings, times and timers filled in. Nothing is published. Use when the cook says "save my grandma's meatballs", "add this one" with a link, 
- create_recipe: Publish a recipe to Befana. Use with draft_id from draft_recipe once the cook has seen and confirmed the draft, passing only the fields they changed; never publish pasted text straight from fields. Pass fields without a draft only for a recipe you worked out with the cook in this
- generate_placeholder_cover: Draw a labeled illustration of the dish for a recipe the cook owns that has no photo, so it looks finished until they add a real one. Use when the cook says "it needs a picture" or accepts the offer after create_recipe. Ask first; it takes up to a minute. It's drawn from the reci
- fork_recipe: Save the cook's own version of someone else's recipe, linked to the original, which never changes. Use when the cook says "make it dairy-free and keep that", "halve the sugar", "save it for 8". Pass only what changes; ingredients or steps, if passed, are the complete new list (ge
- update_recipe: Change the cook's own recipe or version. Use when the cook says "add more garlic to my version", "make mine private", "take it down" (unpublished: true; off Befana for everyone but them, reversible; a recipe others have cooked or saved can only come down this way), "use my photo 
- delete_recipe: Delete a recipe the cook owns, for good, when nobody else has touched it (no versions, reviews or saves by other cooks). Use when the cook says "delete that test recipe", "get rid of it". Without confirm it only reports what would go and whether it can; name the recipe, get a yes
- get_my_recipe_feedback: Read only the signed-in cook's saved private feedback and the recipe-as-written context (US units, original servings). Before new step feedback, show the referenced step and amounts, ask the cook to review them, and use this content_token with rate_recipe. Never infer stars, made
- rate_recipe: Post the cook's star rating (1 to 5) and comment, and mark that they made it. Use when the cook says "that was great, five stars" or "I made the chili, a bit too salty". One rating per cook per recipe: calling again updates it, and a comment left out is kept. Refuses the cook's o
- save_recipe: Keep a recipe in the cook's Saved list (My Kitchen on the website), or take it off with saved: false. Use when the cook says "save this", "keep that one", "add it to my favorites", or "take the chili off my saved". Saving twice is harmless. Returns the recipe link and where Saved
- get_my_kitchen: What the cook keeps on Befana: saved recipes, recipes they published, their own versions, shopping lists and meal plans, their ratings, a pantry count. Use when the cook asks "what did I save?", "pull up last week's list", "show my recipes", or (section: photos) "which of my reci
- hand_back_recipe: Hand back a recipe the Befana team added to the cook's kitchen (get_my_kitchen newly_assigned) when the cook says "that one isn't mine". Keeping it is the default and needs nothing. Confirm with the cook first; it works once per recipe.
- get_my_stats: How the cook's own recipes are doing: views, shares, prints, cooks, saves, versions and ratings, in total and by day, per recipe and by region. Use when a cook who publishes asks "how's my recipe doing?", "how many people cooked my dal?", "what's my most popular recipe?". Counts 
- pantry: Read or change the cook's pantry: food on hand and staples, which Befana leaves off shopping lists and uses for what-can-I-make. Use when the cook says what they have or ran out of ("I've got chicken thighs and half an onion", "we're out of eggs"), corrects it, or asks what's in 
- suggest_from_pantry: Recipes ranked by how much the cook already has, each with what's missing ("You have 7 of 9. Missing: lemon, parmesan."). Use when the cook asks "what can I make?", "what can I do with chicken and rice?", or "the chicken has to get used tonight" (must_use). Uses their saved pantr
- preferences: Read or change the cook's Befana preferences: allergies, diet, avoid list, household size, units, weeknight time, skill, equipment, cuisines, store, privacy, and how they want you to work, all applied to every tool. No arguments reads them. For a change the cook asks for in their
- cook_profile: Read a cook's public Befana page, or change the signed-in cook's own. Use when the cook asks "who shared this?", "show me more from this cook", "what's on my profile?", or wants their name, about me, links or handle changed. Pass handle (any recipe's shared_by.handle) to read tha
- report_content: Flag a recipe, review, photo or a cook's profile for Befana's moderators: spam, offensive, unsafe as written, copied without permission, not a recipe, or something else. Use only when the cook asks ("report this review", "this recipe is dangerous"), in their words. Moderators rev
