MCP tool set_favorite_food · Changes data

Adds a food, custom food or saved meal to the user's favourites, or removes it with favorite false. Setting the state a food already has changes nothing. A user holds at most 200 favourites. It logs nothing: to record that the user ate the food use log_food_entry; to read favourites use list_favorite_foods.
