Get Heart Rate Variability (HRV) data. Higher HRV indicates
AI agents call get_hrv_data 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 retrieves health metrics (HRV data) from Garmin Connect without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a query/fetch operation that returns existing data to inform analysis. The severity is low because unauthorized access to personal health data, while privacy-sensitive, does not enable destructive actions or financial harm through this tool alone.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_hrv_data' and description 'Get Heart Rate Variability (HRV) data' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get Heart Rate Variability (HRV) data. Higher HRV indicates. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Garmin Connect MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Garmin Connect MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_hrv_data: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Garmin Connect MCP. Nothing to install.
get_hrv_data is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_hrv_data rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_hrv_data. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_hrv_data is provided by the Garmin Connect MCP server (leewnsdud/garmin-connect-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
