AI agents call get_exercise_template to retrieve information from Hevy without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves data about a single exercise template by its identifier. The verb 'Get' and the read-only nature of the operation (fetching existing data without creating, modifying, or deleting) place it squarely in the Read category. The severity is low because retrieving exercise template data poses minimal risk even if an AI agent accesses it without explicit user intent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_exercise_template' and description 'Get a specific exercise template by ID' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

get_exercise_template 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_exercise_template 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_exercise_template. 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.
