Get user summary data (compatible with garminconnect-ha)
AI agents call get_user_summary 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 user summary information without side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any actions. While it accesses personal health data (a sensitive domain), the tool itself performs only a read operation with no destructive or financial implications. Severity is low because the blast radius of misuse is limited to information disclosure of data the authorized user already has access to.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_user_summary' and description 'Get user summary data' indicate a retrieval operation. No modification, deletion, or execution is implied. The context of Garmin Connect fitness/health data reinforces this as a read-only query.

Register the Garmin MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_user_summary: 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 Garmin MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_user_summary 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 get_user_summary 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 get_user_summary. 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.
