link_exercises · Whoop MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What link_exercises does on Whoop MCP Server

AI agents use link_exercises to create or update resources in Whoop MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Whoop MCP Server environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why link_exercises needs a policy

The tool creates or updates exercise associations within an activity record (Write category). Severity is medium because misuse could pollute health tracking data, but the effect is reversible (exercises can be unlinked or corrected). It lacks the destructive finality of deletion, the code execution risk of Execute, or financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool enables linking/attaching exercises to an existing activity, which modifies activity records with exercise details 'with per-set granularity'—a reversible data modification operation.
