Your assistant saves a food only when a search finds nothing that matches. A recipe’s nutrition is added up from its ingredients. When your assistant changes a packaged product, your copy is saved to My foods and the change goes to Splot for review before it can correct the shared product.

It takes the same input as Save a food in the API, plus photos.

What your assistant is told

The tool’s own instructions, word for word, as every assistant receives them.

Save a food or recipe to My foods, or with id update one of the person's foods. Search list_foods first and save a new food only when nothing matches, never for a product the catalogue already has. Each recipe ingredient is a food from list_foods or, only when nothing matches, a newFood, with a portion; the server adds up the nutrition. When changing a shared or saved food, pass copyFrom so its origin is kept: a product change goes to review and does not change the shared catalogue directly. Meals and recipes keep the version they were saved with. Pass photos the person attached as photos.
