Get details about a specific piece of gear (bike or shoes).
AI agents call get_gear to retrieve information from Strava MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves details about fitness equipment (bikes or shoes) from the Strava API. It is a read-only operation with no side effects, no code execution, and no capability to modify or delete data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—at worst, an agent could discover which gear a user owns, which is low-sensitivity fitness metadata already visible in user profiles.
