Remove gear association from an activity Unlinks a specific piece of gear from an activity. Args: activity_id: ID of the activity gear_uuid: UUID of the gear to remove

How to control remove_gear_from_activity ↓

AI agents use remove_gear_from_activity to create or update resources in Garmin MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Garmin MCP Server environment.

Medium Risk

This tool removes a gear association/link from an activity. While it removes a relationship, this is a reversible data modification (the gear can be re-linked to the activity), making it a Write operation rather than Destructive. The blast radius is medium as it modifies fitness tracking data but does not delete underlying records.

From the tool's definition Remove gear association from an activity — Unlinks a specific piece of gear from an activity

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access remove_gear_from_activity 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 remove_gear_from_activity:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "remove_gear_from_activity": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "remove_gear_from_activity_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

remove_gear_from_activity stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. 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.
