What get_exercise_history does on Hevy

Why get_exercise_history needs a policy

The 'get_' prefix and naming convention establish this as a retrieval operation that queries historical exercise data from the Hevy fitness API. No description provided, but the tool name and context of sibling read-only tools strongly indicate read-only access with no side effects. Severity is low as fitness history data retrieval poses minimal risk even if accessed inappropriately.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_exercise_history' indicates data retrieval with no modification capability. Pattern consistent with sibling 'get_*' tools (get_exercise_template, get_routine, get_routine_folder, get_routines) which are clearly read operations.

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

How to control get_exercise_history

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

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

get_exercise_history 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 Hevy — 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.
