What health_heart_rate does on Iconnect
AI agents call health_heart_rate to retrieve information from Iconnect without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why health_heart_rate is rated Low
This tool only reads and retrieves health data from Apple's HealthKit framework over a 7-day period. There are no side effects, no data modification, deletion, or execution of external operations. The worst-case misuse would be unauthorized access to private health metrics, but the impact is limited to information disclosure of one specific metric.
From the tool's definition Tool queries HealthKit for heart rate data without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The description states 'Get average resting heart rate' — a read-only retrieval of historical health metrics.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs health_heart_rate safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Iconnect, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For health_heart_rate, this is the rule to start with:
health_heart_rate 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 Iconnect, apply this rule, and every health_heart_rate call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about health_heart_rate
Get average resting heart rate over the last 7 days (bpm) from HealthKit. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Iconnect MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Iconnect MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for health_heart_rate: 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 Iconnect. Nothing to install.
health_heart_rate 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_heart_rate 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_heart_rate. 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_heart_rate is provided by the Iconnect MCP server (iconnect-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
