Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Guardian Engine Tools (7)

verify_recipe

Verify a candidate recipe against a Guardian master spec. Returns a structured report with a strict `PASSED`/`FAILED` verdict (no scores) and detailed findings, each citing the rule it violated. The verdict is policy-driven: any `CRITICAL` finding fails the recipe; more than 5 `WARNING`s also fail.

fix_recipe

Deterministically repair a candidate recipe against a master spec. Verifies, applies every machine-actionable patch the symbolic engine produced (missing ingredients, quantities, temperatures, durations, cooking media, substitutions), then re-verifies. **No LLM is involved** — the repair is a deter…

list_dishes

List all master recipes Guardian can verify against, with rich metadata (slug, title, cuisine, region, aliases, complexity).

get_master

Return the canonical master recipe for a dish — a pure knowledge-base lookup, no LLM. Enables **compare-then-verify** loops: fetch the master, diff it against your recipe, then call `verify_recipe` instead of verifying blind. Master content is transparent by default: exact temperatures, timings, an…
