What connection_status does on Google Health

AI agents call connection_status to retrieve information from Google Health without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why connection_status needs a policy

This tool performs a status check on an existing OAuth connection, which is a non-destructive read operation. It retrieves connection metadata and permission information but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The health-check nature means it has minimal blast radius if invoked by an AI agent—it simply reports current state.

From the tool's definition Tool description indicates it "Health-check the Google Health connection: confirms the OAuth token works, reports granted vs". The verb "confirms" and "reports" are read-only operations that query connection state without modifying data.
