Get respiration data
AI agents call get_respiration_data 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 respiration health metrics from Garmin Connect. It performs a read-only query of existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The data returned is personal health information, but the tool itself has no capability to alter state or trigger external actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_respiration_data' and description states 'Get respiration data' — both indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
