Approvals
Vibe asks before it uses a connector’s tools. To stop it asking for the safe ones, open Connectors → My Connectors → saucepan → Functions and turn on Always allow for reading tools like search_saucepan_recipes, get_recipe and get_groceries. Mistral suggests keeping tools that change things, like save_recipe_from_link or add_to_groceries, on manual approval until you trust them.
What it can and can’t do
Without signing in, it can search and read Saucepan’s collection of 5,700+ recipes with photos. Signed in, it can also save recipes from a link, the chat or the collection, search your saved recipes, read your pantry, add to your grocery list, and read and add to your meal plan.
It can’t delete anything, see your password, or post publicly.
Disconnect
