POLICY

How to control Apple Health

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

Cap read operations

{
  "list_metrics": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "list_metrics_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 Apple Health — 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.

How many tools does the Apple Health MCP server expose? +

4 tools across 1 categories: Read. 3 are read-only. 1 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Apple Health? +

Register the Apple Health 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.
