What the cook has on hand
pantryIdempotent
Read or change the cook's pantry: food on hand and staples, which Strega leaves off shopping lists and uses for what-can-I-make. Use when the cook says what they have or ran out of ("I've got chicken thighs and half an onion", "we're out of eggs"), corrects it, or asks what's in it. Pass their words verbatim as text; or add/remove names; a fridge photo goes in photo (an upload name). No arguments reads it. Saying what they have is the cook's yes: save it and read the change back in one line. Never add what the cook didn't say. Returns the change (unsure lists what didn't read as food) or the whole pantry.

| items | No | Reading: everything on hand and the staples | |
| stale | No | Reading: fresh items old enough to ask "still have it?" | |

| unknown | No | Changing: asked to remove, but not in the pantry | |
| adjusted | No | Defaults this call took instead of failing (#243): an unknown units word, a number out of range, a diet word read as the closest one Strega knows. Mention it when it changes what the cook gets | |
| next_steps | No | Suggestions, best first, each with its tool, args and effect. Strega suggests the top one in one sentence; whether any runs is decided by what the cook asks in the conversation and your confirmation rules, never by the wording here | |
