What health_sleep does on AirMCP
AI agents call health_sleep to retrieve information from AirMCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why health_sleep is rated Low
This is a data retrieval function that accesses health/sleep metrics from the Apple ecosystem. It has no capability to modify, delete, or execute operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an agent could only read personal sleep data, which while privacy-sensitive, poses no financial, destructive, or operational risk. Confidence is high because the description is clear and unambiguous.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get total sleep hours for a given date' — a retrieval operation with no side effects. Only queries and returns sleep data without modifying, deleting, or executing external operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs health_sleep safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and AirMCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For health_sleep, this is the rule to start with:
health_sleep is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect AirMCP, apply this rule, and every health_sleep call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about health_sleep
Get total sleep hours for a given date (defaults to last night). Only counts actual sleep stages, not time in bed. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AirMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Air MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for health_sleep: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches AirMCP. Nothing to install.
health_sleep is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the health_sleep rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for health_sleep. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
health_sleep is provided by the Air MCP server (airmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
