What Sabor (Flavor) is for

"Sabor" is the Portuguese word for flavor. The question that comes up whenever Brazilian food comes up in conversation — what's actually in a moqueca, which region a dish comes from, what dendê oil even is, what to use instead of tucupi if you can't find it, what makes Bahian food taste so different from gaúcho churrasco — answered from one hand-curated regional cuisine encyclopedia, not a scroll through recipe blogs and travel-site listicles.

What it does

One dish's description, region of origin, category and key ingredients (dish_info); a keyword search across dish name, region, category, description and ingredients (dish_search); every characteristic dish of a Brazilian region — Bahia, Minas Gerais, Rio Grande do Sul, Amazonas, Nordeste, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro (dishes_by_region); dishes (and drinks) filtered by main dish, dessert, snack/street food, side dish, or drink (dishes_by_category); a short profile of what makes each region's cuisine distinctive — Bahia's dendê oil and African/Candomblé influence, the South's churrasco and gaúcho ranching culture, the Amazon's native ingredients like açaí and tucupi, and so on (regional_cuisine_profile); a guide to key Brazilian ingredients — mandioca/cassava, açaí, dendê palm oil, tucupi, guaraná fruit, cachaça as a cooking ingredient, and palm hearts (ingredient_guide); a guide to Brazilian drinks, both non-alcoholic (guaraná soda, açaí juice, mate/chimarrão, Brazilian coffee) and alcoholic (caipirinha, cachaça), framed factually and never as an encouragement to drink (drink_guide); reasonable substitutes for Brazilian ingredients that are hard to find outside the country (substitution_guide); and a glossary of Brazilian culinary and food-culture terms — farofa, tempero, churrasco, feijoada, quitanda, boteco, rodízio, salgados, comida caseira, doceria (cuisine_glossary).

What it is not

Not a recipe book — there are no step-by-step cooking instructions, quantities or timings here, and it is not a live menu, delivery or restaurant-finder service. It is also not a single official standard for where a dish "belongs": many Brazilian dishes (feijoada, farofa and brigadeiro chief among them) are eaten, adapted and claimed nationwide, and the single region given for each dish reflects the most common tradition, not an exclusive rule. This is 31 hand-picked dishes across seven regions, chosen for how representative and well known they are — not an exhaustive inventory of Brazilian cuisine, and not a substitute for a native cook's judgment.

Conventions

• Read-only. Every tool reads public data or computes; nothing is written anywhere and nothing about the user is stored.
• Result envelope. ok: true with data, or ok: false with a structured error (bad_input, not_found, upstream_error). degraded lists optional sources that were unreachable.
• Rate limits. Free tier 60 tool calls/minute and 300/day per user (keyed on the user identifier supplied by the host agent, else client IP); Pro keys raise this. Over-limit calls return HTTP 429 with Retry-After. initialize and tools/list are never counted.

Sabor (Flavor) — Privacy Policy

Effective 24 September 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What Sabor (Flavor) is. Sabor (Flavor) is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that AI assistants and personal agents call on your behalf for a hand-curated Brazilian regional cuisine encyclopedia: dish lookups and search, dishes by region or category, regional cuisine profiles, an ingredient guide, a drink guide, ingredient substitutions, and a cuisine glossary. You interact with your assistant; the assistant sends us only the arguments needed for that one lookup.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call — a dish name, a search keyword, a region, a category, an ingredient name, a drink name, or a glossary term — the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant, and a Pro API key if you have one), and standard server logs.

Everything is answered from a bundled, hand-curated reference file and nothing is stored. No request is forwarded to any third party — there is no upstream call at all, live or otherwise — and no query is logged in request bodies, recorded, or used to train anything.

What we do not receive or store. We do not receive your conversation with the assistant or your name, and we do not build a profile from your queries: each request is answered independently and nothing carries over between requests. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting-provider access logs, which contain IP addresses and request paths but not request bodies, are retained for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention.

Sub-processors. None — the entire dataset is bundled with the server and answered locally. Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Legal bases and your rights. Our processing is necessary to provide the service you request through your assistant. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete personal data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. We do not sell or share personal information and do not use your data to train models.

Children. Sabor (Flavor) is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant. It covers alcoholic drinks (cachaça, caipirinha) informationally and factually, and does not encourage consumption.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.

Sabor (Flavor) — Terms of Service

Effective 24 September 2026. These terms govern use of the Sabor (Flavor) connector ("the Service") operated by Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us").

1. The Service. Sabor (Flavor) returns a hand-curated Brazilian regional cuisine encyclopedia — dish descriptions, regions, categories and key ingredients; dishes by region or category; regional cuisine profiles; an ingredient guide; a drink guide; ingredient substitutions; and a cuisine glossary — from data hand-curated and verified at build time. It is accessed through an AI assistant or directly over MCP or HTTP.
2. Not a recipe book, and not an official standard. Sabor (Flavor) is an independent reference tool, not affiliated with or endorsed by any government body, tourism board, or culinary institution. It gives no step-by-step cooking instructions, quantities or timings, and the single region attributed to each dish reflects common tradition, not an exclusive or official claim — many dishes are eaten and adapted well beyond the region listed.
3. Alcohol is covered informationally only. Drinks and ingredients that are alcoholic (cachaça, caipirinha) are described factually, with an age-appropriate note, and nothing in the Service should be read as encouraging alcohol consumption. The Service does not verify the age of any user.
4. Acceptable use. Automated use within the published rate limits is welcome.
5. Availability. The Service is provided "as is" without warranty. We may change, limit or discontinue it at any time.
6. Data. Our Privacy Policy describes what we process. In short: your query is answered from a bundled reference file, and nothing is stored.
7. Pro keys. Optional Pro API keys are issued at our discretion, are personal to the holder and may be revoked for abuse.
8. Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Unify Dynamics LLC is not liable for any loss arising from use of or reliance on the Service. Our total liability is limited to US $100.
9. Governing law. California law; venue in San Mateo County, California.
