Get all gear registered with the user account
AI agents call get_gear to retrieve information from Garmin MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves a list of gear items associated with a user's Garmin account. It performs a query operation that reads existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could enumerate gear but cannot alter account state or trigger external actions. This is a straightforward Read category tool.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_gear' and description 'Get all gear registered with the user account' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.
