List recent activities for the authenticated athlete.
AI agents call list_activities_tool 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 performs a read-only query operation that retrieves and displays athlete activity data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could at worst enumerate all activities of an authenticated user, which is already part of normal API usage and poses no irreversible harm or security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states it 'List[s] recent activities' with no mention of modification, deletion, or execution capabilities. Retrieves existing activity data for the authenticated athlete.
