Retrieve heart rate measurements including resting heart rate and heart rate variability
AI agents call get-heart-rate to retrieve information from Oura Ring 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 historical heart rate data from the Oura Ring device. It performs no write, destructive, execute, or financial operations. The data retrieved is personal health information, but the tool itself only reads and returns it without side effects. Misuse would result in unauthorized access to personal data rather than system compromise or harmful state changes, warranting low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-heart-rate' and description 'Retrieve heart rate measurements' indicate a read-only operation that queries existing health data without modification, deletion, or execution of commands.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieve heart rate measurements including resting heart rate and heart rate variability. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Oura Ring MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Oura Ring MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get-heart-rate: 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 Oura Ring MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get-heart-rate 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-heart-rate 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-heart-rate. 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-heart-rate is provided by the Oura Ring MCP Server MCP server (sauravpahadia/oura-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
