Why getActivities needs a policy

This tool retrieves or queries activity data for an athlete. It is a read-only operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute any changes to the system. The verb 'Get' and the context of listing activities confirms this is a data retrieval function with no destructive or transactional consequences.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getActivities' and description 'Get a list of activities' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

POLICY

How to control getActivities

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Intervals Icu MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for getActivities:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "getActivities": {}
  }
}

getActivities is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Intervals Icu MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
