Get typed splits for an activity Args: activity_id: ID of the activity to retrieve typed splits for
AI agents call get_activity_typed_splits 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 queries and retrieves fitness data (activity splits) from Garmin Connect. It takes only an activity_id as input and returns data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It falls squarely into the Read category as a data retrieval operation with no blast radius beyond potential information disclosure of the user's own fitness metrics.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_activity_typed_splits' and description 'Get typed splits for an activity' indicate retrieval of existing data without modification. The verb 'get' and the read-only nature of fetching activity splits confirm no side effects occur.

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_typed_splits:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_activity_typed_splits": {}
}
}get_activity_typed_splits is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get typed splits for an activity Args: activity_id: ID of the activity to retrieve typed splits for. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Garmin MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Garmin MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_activity_typed_splits: 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 Garmin MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_activity_typed_splits 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_activity_typed_splits 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_activity_typed_splits. 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_activity_typed_splits is provided by the Garmin MCP Server MCP server (taxuspt/garmin_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
