WHAT IT DOES

What disconnect-strava does on Strava MCP Server

AI agents use disconnect-strava to create or update resources in Strava MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Strava MCP Server environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why disconnect-strava needs a policy

This tool removes stored credentials and disconnects an account, which is a reversible modification of system state (the connection can be re-established). While it involves credential removal, it does not irreversibly destroy user data in Strava itself, nor does it execute arbitrary code or move money. It is Write rather than Destructive because disconnection is reversible via reconnection.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Disconnect your Strava account and remove stored credentials' — explicitly modifies the state of the Strava connection and deletes/removes stored authentication data.
