Get overnight respiration rate trend over a date range. Elevated resting respiration rate (compared to personal baseline) is an early warning sign for overreaching, illness, or poor recovery. Use this alongside HRV trend for a complete recovery picture. Recommended range: 7-21 days. Maximum: 30 d...
AI agents call get_respiration_trend 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 health metrics (respiration rate data) from Garmin Connect without side effects. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation analogous to a GET request or SELECT query. The low severity reflects minimal risk—misuse would only expose personal health information already accessible to the authenticated user, with no ability to modify, execute code, delete data, or move funds.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves 'overnight respiration rate trend over a date range' with no modification or deletion capabilities. Parameters are only for filtering: start_date and end_date in YYYY-MM-DD format.

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

Get overnight respiration rate trend over a date range. Elevated resting respiration rate (compared to personal baseline) is an early warning sign for overreaching, illness, or poor recovery. Use this alongside HRV trend for a complete recovery picture. Recommended range: 7-21 days. Maximum: 30 days. Args: start_date: Start date in YYYY-MM-DD format end_date: End date in YYYY-MM-DD format. 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_respiration_trend: 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_respiration_trend 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_respiration_trend 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_respiration_trend. 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_respiration_trend 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.
