Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states 'Lists all workouts in a date range — compact overview with type, duration, distance, pace, and heart rate.' It provides a specific verb and resource, and distinguishes from siblings by mentioning get_workout_detail for details.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicit guidance: 'Use this tool first for an overview. For details on a single workout, use get_workout_detail.' Also explains how the workout ID in output can be used with other tools.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true, and description aligns without contradiction. Adds behavioral detail: data as 1-minute averages, further clarifying what the tool provides.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Concise: short introductory sentence, context, and parameter list. No redundant information, front-loaded with purpose.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Covers key aspects: purpose, prerequisites, parameter details. With an output schema present, description need not detail return format; however, no mention of pagination or data limits, but acceptable for the task.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, but description fully compensates by explaining workout_id as UUID from get_workout_list and sample_type with all permitted values, adding crucial context missing from schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Clearly states it retrieves detailed time-series data for a workout, lists specific sensor types (HR, speed, power, etc.), and distinguishes from sibling tools by focusing on time-series samples.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Specifies when to use (progression analysis, pattern detection) and required prerequisites (workout_id from get_workout_list, valid sample_type). Lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternatives, but context is clear.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations provide readOnlyHint=true, reducing burden. Description adds useful context: data source (last ~30 days of Polar data), model characteristics (frozen, temporally validated), and disclaimer. No contradictions.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two concise sentences that front-load the purpose and add essential details without waste.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description covers the tool's purpose, inputs (implicitly from user's data), output components, and limitations (personal, not medical). Given no parameters and existence of output schema, it is sufficiently complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

No parameters exist, so baseline is 4. Description adds no param info, but none is needed as schema coverage is 100%.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool predicts the next night's Nightly Recovery (HRV/RMSSD) from personal Polar data, distinguishes it from sibling read/get tools by being a prediction, and specifies the output (point estimate, uncertainty interval, baseline comparison).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides context for use (personal to account owner, not medical advice) but doesn't explicitly say when to use vs alternatives. However, the purpose is self-explanatory and distinct from siblings like get_recovery_status.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
