AI agents call get_daily_events 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.
This tool queries and retrieves wellness event data without modifying, deleting, executing external operations, or moving money. It follows the Read category pattern of fetching/getting data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only retrieve historical wellness data that the authenticated user already has access to.
