Fetches detailed information about a specific route using its ID.
AI agents call get-route to retrieve information from Strava MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves/queries route data from Strava by ID—a read-only operation with no side effects. It matches the Read category definition: 'retrieves or queries data; no side effects (search, list, get, fetch).' The word 'Fetches' explicitly signals data retrieval. Severity is low because route data exposure has minimal business or security impact, and there is no destructive, financial, or code-execution risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-route' and description 'Fetches detailed information about a specific route using its ID' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or execution of external operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Fetches detailed information about a specific route using its ID. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Strava MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Strava MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get-route: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Strava MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get-route is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get-route rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get-route. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get-route is provided by the Strava MCP Server MCP server (samitugal/strava-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
