AI agents call get_recoveries to retrieve information from Whoop without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves recovery data from the Whoop fitness API without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a straightforward data query operation with no side effects. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—unauthorized access to personal health metrics is a privacy concern but not immediately dangerous or financial.
