MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous Strava tools

Destructive · High deleteActivity Deletion of activities is a destructive action that cannot be undone. Write · Medium createActivity This tool creates new data (an activity record) in Strava, which is a Write operation. Write · Medium createRoute This tool creates a new route object in Strava, which is a reversible data modification. Write · Medium createUpload The tool creates new activity uploads to Strava, which is reversible (activities can be deleted via 'deleteActivity').

7 of Strava's 37 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Strava

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Strava, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Deny destructive operations

{
  "deleteActivity": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations

{
  "starSegment": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "starsegment_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "exploreSegments": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "exploresegments_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Create a free account and register Strava — nothing to install.
Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about Strava

Can an AI agent delete data through the Strava MCP server? +

Yes. The Strava server exposes 1 destructive tools including deleteActivity. These permanently remove resources with no undo. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through Strava? +

The Strava server has 6 write tools including starSegment, createActivity, createRoute. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach Strava.

How many tools does the Strava MCP server expose? +

37 tools across 3 categories: Destructive, Read, Write. 30 are read-only. 7 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Strava? +

Register the Strava MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every Strava tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 37 Strava tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
