How to control get_activity_weather ↓

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

Low Risk

This tool retrieves historical weather data associated with a logged activity. It queries and returns metadata (temperature, humidity, wind, condition) without side effects, making it a Read operation. The low severity reflects that misuse poses minimal risk—an AI agent could only retrieve existing weather information, not modify data or trigger external actions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_activity_weather' and description 'Get weather conditions during an activity: temperature, humidity, wind, condition' indicate pure data retrieval with no modification, creation, deletion, or execution of external operations.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_activity_weather gives an agent:

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_activity_weather": {}
  }
}

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

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