Your Menu is shared with everyone in your household, so Zest asks Claude to show you the exact recipes and wait for your OK before it adds or removes anything.

Claude only sees what these tools return, and only while Zest is turned on in a chat. The connector can't see your password or payment details, and it can't change your account settings. See our Privacy Policy for how Zest handles your data.
