What get_sleep does on Oura Ring MCP Server

AI agents call get_sleep to retrieve information from Oura Ring MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_sleep needs a policy

This tool retrieves health data from the Oura Ring API without creating, modifying, or deleting any information. It has no side effects and presents minimal risk even if invoked by an AI agent, as it only exposes personal health information already owned by the user. The severity is low because the blast radius of unauthorized data access is limited to the user's own health metrics.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_sleep' and description 'Get sleep data' indicate data retrieval with no modification. The verb 'Get' and absence of any mutation language confirm read-only access to sleep metrics.
