Get related activities
AI agents call getRelatedActivities to retrieve information from Strava without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves related activities from a user's Strava account. It performs a query operation that returns data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any external operations. The sibling tools include destructive operations (deleteActivity) and write operations (createActivity, createUpload), but this specific tool is read-only.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getRelatedActivities' and description 'Get related activities' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
