AI agents call get_user_goals to retrieve information from Withings Health Data without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though get_user_goals only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so get_user_goals only ever does what you allow.

How do I enforce a policy on get_user_goals? +

Register the Withings Health Data MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_user_goals: 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 Withings Health Data. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_user_goals? +

Can I rate-limit get_user_goals? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_user_goals 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.

How do I block get_user_goals completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_user_goals. 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.
