I’m being asked to provide phone records for a claim I requested.

I had filed a claim for a car accident
which I am completely covered for. The
adjuster is asking me to provide phone
records, and sign a disclaimer that will
allow them to have access to my credit,
phone records, Etc. I don’t feel
comfortable providing as these are
private information, and I don’t think
it’s necessary nor does it have anything
to do with the accident.

If you don't comply, they will refuse to process your claim. You could then try suing the insurer for "breach of contract"--for violating their policy obligation (since an insurance policy is a contract) to pay this claim under the relevant circumstances or facts. But in the lawsuit, they will request the same information and be able to get it using the legal mechanisms of "discovery," so you may as well provide it now, rather than providing it later after spending time and money on litigation.
