Get code examples for specific Garmin Connect IQ functionality
AI agents call get_api_examples to retrieve information from Garmin Documentation MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool reads and returns pre-existing documentation examples. It does not create, modify, delete, execute, or trigger external operations. The data returned is static reference material from the SDK documentation. Even though it's code, it's purely informational—execution is the responsibility of the developer using the example, not the tool itself.
From the tool's definition The tool 'get_api_examples' retrieves or fetches code examples from documentation. The description states it 'Get[s] code examples' and the server provides 'offline access to complete Garmin Connect IQ SDK documentation.' This is a retrieval operation with no…

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Garmin Documentation MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_api_examples:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_api_examples": {}
}
}get_api_examples is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get code examples for specific Garmin Connect IQ functionality. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Garmin Documentation MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Garmin Documentation MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_api_examples: 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 Documentation MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_api_examples 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_api_examples 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_api_examples. 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_api_examples is provided by the Garmin Documentation MCP Server MCP server (ztuskes/garmin-documentation-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Garmin Documentation MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
