Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
The tool modifies metadata about gear items (e.g., name, status, notes) in the Intervals.icu fitness tracking system. This is a reversible Write operation—the previous state can be restored by applying a different update. The blast radius is low because gear updates affect only configuration metadata and not financial transactions, executable operations, or destructive deletions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'updateGear' and description 'Update a gear or component' indicate modification of existing data without deletion or irreversible destruction.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Update a gear or component. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Intervals Icu Api MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
updateGear accepts 12 parameters: id, name, time, type, notes, gearId, body_id, retired, distance, component, purchased, reminders. Required: id, gearId. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Intervals Icu Api MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for updateGear: 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 Intervals Icu Api. Nothing to install.
updateGear is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the updateGear 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 updateGear. 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.
updateGear is provided by the Intervals Icu Api MCP server (intervals-icu-api-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
