# get_own_recipe

**Get own recipe**

Read one recipe you own, whole: the authored arrangement (`config`) on an arm row, the doctrine (`writer`) beside it on a reprompt row, or the private workflow (`definition`) on a run row — plus where it stands with the catalog (`submission`), whether a curator restricted it, and its public page once published. Use this before update_recipe — a patch replaces `config`, `writer` or `definition` whole. A run row's `definition`, saved alone as JSON, is a workflow file Kuro Desktop opens.

## Scope

- `recipes.read` — Reads the public catalog and the account's own recipes.

## Behaviour

- **Read-only**: Reads the caller's own account and changes nothing.
- **Stays in the account**: Stays inside the caller's private Kuro account: any media provider it calls acts on Kuro's account, and the result is visible to no one else.
- **Idempotent**: Calling it again with the same arguments has no further effect.

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Details |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `recipe_id` | string | yes | uuid |

## Example call

A `tools/call` request with the required arguments only, each a placeholder read off the schema. Replace them before sending.

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_own_recipe",
    "arguments": {
      "recipe_id": "00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000000"
    }
  }
}
```

## Input schema

As the server sends it in `tools/list`:

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "recipe_id": {
      "type": "string",
      "format": "uuid"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "recipe_id"
  ],
  "additionalProperties": false
}
```
