How to control get_activity_split_summaries ↓

AI agents call get_activity_split_summaries 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.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves fitness activity split data (e.g., lap times, segment summaries) from Garmin Connect based on an activity ID. It performs no side effects, creates no data, executes no commands, and cannot delete or transfer funds. The only risk is information disclosure of the user's own fitness data, which is low severity in the context of an MCP server the user has explicitly authorized.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_activity_split_summaries' and description 'Get split summaries for an activity' indicate data retrieval with no modification. The verb 'Get' and lack of any parameters that would modify state confirm this is a query operation.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_activity_split_summaries gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Garmin MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_activity_split_summaries:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_activity_split_summaries": {}
  }
}

get_activity_split_summaries is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Garmin MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
