Get respiration data
AI agents call get_respiration_data to retrieve information from Garmin 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 health/fitness data from Garmin Connect without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It follows the pattern of other sibling read tools (get_activities_by_date, get_activity, etc.). Respiration data is personal health information, but the tool itself only performs a non-destructive query. Severity is low because misuse results in data exposure rather than system compromise or data loss.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_respiration_data' and description 'Get respiration data' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of external operations.
