Get daily activity summary (steps, calories, distance, active minutes).
AI agents call get_daily_summary to retrieve information from Mcp Garmin without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves aggregated health data without side effects. It is a straightforward read operation that queries existing data. The read-only nature of the server and the passive retrieval semantics of the tool confirm the Read category. Severity is low because exposure of personal health metrics, while privacy-sensitive, does not enable destructive, financial, or system-level harm.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_daily_summary' and description explicitly state retrieval of daily metrics (steps, calories, distance, active minutes). Server description confirms 'read-only access to daily health metrics'.
