Get fitness goals and their progress.
AI agents call get_goals to retrieve information from Garmin Connect MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves fitness goal information and associated progress metrics. There are no indications of data creation, modification, deletion, code execution, or financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only over-query the endpoint or leak goal information, not cause irreversible harm. This aligns with the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_goals' and description 'Get fitness goals and their progress' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects. The verb 'get' and the passive context (retrieving existing goal data) confirm this is a read-only operation.
