AI agents call get_routine to retrieve information from Hevy MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves workout routine information from the Hevy fitness app without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward query operation that poses minimal security risk even if misused by an AI agent, as it only returns existing data about a fitness routine.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_routine' and description 'Get full details of a specific routine' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects. The verb 'Get' and the read-only nature of fetching routine details align with the Read category.

get_routine 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_routine 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_routine. 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_routine is provided by the Hevy MCP server (zachsai/hevy-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
