List the authenticated athlete
AI agents call strava_list_activities to retrieve information from Strava 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 activity data for the authenticated athlete without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward query that returns existing data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could see the athlete's activity history but cannot modify records, trigger actions, or cause harm beyond privacy exposure.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'strava_list_activities' and description 'List the authenticated athlete' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'List' is a classic read operation.
