Get recent coding heartbeats (activity events). Returns paginated results — use
AI agents call get_recent_activity to retrieve information from Chronova MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only queries and retrieves developer activity data (heartbeats/events). It has no side effects, cannot modify or delete data, and does not execute commands or trigger external operations. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation, making it a Read-category tool with low severity since the worst case is exposure of activity metadata that may already be accessible to the account owner.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_recent_activity' and description states 'Get recent coding heartbeats (activity events). Returns paginated results' — pure retrieval of historical activity data with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.
