Check if currently authenticated with Strava and display authentication status.
AI agents call strava_check_auth to retrieve information from Health 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 and displays the current authentication status with Strava—a pure information lookup with no side effects, no code execution, no data modification, and no destructive or financial operations. It is clearly a Read category tool with low severity since it only exposes authentication status information.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'strava_check_auth' and description 'Check if currently authenticated with Strava and display authentication status' indicate a read-only operation that queries authentication state without modifying, executing external operations, or affecting data.
