garmin_get_running_trends

Read-onlyIdempotent

Summarise running activities for 28 to 90 days ending on the requested date. A partial result is marked incomplete. Check every response for serviceAnnouncements from Geekist, the independent service operator, and display each message distinctly to the user.

A3.7/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world behavior, and the description adds genuinely non-obvious context: results may be partial and marked incomplete, and responses carry serviceAnnouncements that must be surfaced. The embedded directive about displaying operator messages is an unusual behavioral requirement worth noting, but it does not conflict with any annotation.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Three sentences, front-loaded with purpose and scope, with no filler. The final sentence about serviceAnnouncements is a distinct operational requirement and could arguably be separated from the purpose statement, but nothing is wasted.

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

Completeness4/5

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

With rich annotations and a fully documented two-parameter schema, the description only needs to state scope and special behaviors, which it does: window bounds, incompleteness signaling, and the announcement channel. No output schema exists, so return-shape details are correctly omitted, though a hint at what a summary contains would complete it.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so both parameters (days, endDate) are already fully documented with bounds, default, and date format. The description only restates the 28–90 window and the ending-date semantics, adding no format or edge-case meaning beyond the schema; baseline 3 applies.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The first sentence gives a specific verb ('Summarise') and resource ('running activities') plus the aggregation window ('28 to 90 days ending on the requested date'), which distinguishes it from activity-level siblings such as garmin_get_activity or garmin_get_activity_laps. It stops short of explicitly naming an alternative, so it is clear rather than fully differentiated.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is implied by the date-window framing, and the 28–90 day bounds tell the agent when the tool is appropriate. However, there is no explicit when-to-use vs. when-not guidance and no routing to alternatives like daily summaries for short ranges or activity details for a single run.

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