Polar MCP Server
Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v1.0.0
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool targets a distinct data type or operation: user info, exercises (with multiple export formats and detailed data), body metrics, sleep, activity, heart rate, cardio load, and sleepwise alerts. Even tools that query similar data (e.g., single vs. range) are clearly differentiated by the 'range' suffix and descriptions.
Naming Consistency5/5All tools follow the consistent 'get_<noun_pair>' pattern in snake_case. Range variants use '_range' suffixes, and exercise exports use '_fit', '_tcx', '_gpx'. The naming is predictable and uniform.
Tool Count4/525 tools is on the higher side, but each covers a specific aspect of Polar health data (user info, exercises, sleep, activity, etc.). The count is justified by the breadth of data types, though it pushes the upper limit of an ideal scope.
Completeness4/5The server provides comprehensive read access to Polar health data, covering user profile, exercises (with multiple export formats), sleep, activity, heart rate, cardio load, and sleepwise metrics. Missing write operations (create/update/delete) is acceptable if the server is read-only, but no tools for device settings or goal management are present.
Average 3.6/5 across 25 of 25 tools scored.

How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It states the tool is read-only (Get) and mentions device compatibility, but does not clarify behavior on unsupported devices, data absence, rate limits, or any side effects. The minimal disclosure leaves significant gaps for an agent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with two sentences, no redundant words. It efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and device requirement without unnecessary details.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With no output schema and no description of return values, the agent lacks information about what data the tool returns (e.g., temperature readings, timestamps, units). The description does not compensate for missing output details, making the tool incomplete for informed invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% coverage with descriptions for both 'to' and 'from' parameters. The tool description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, so it meets the baseline of 3. No further value is provided.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves body temperature data from Elixir biosensing on compatible Polar devices. It specifies the resource (body temperature) and differentiates from sibling tools like 'get_skin_temperature' by naming the sensor technology and device compatibility.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., get_skin_temperature). No prerequisites, exclusions, or context for selecting this tool are mentioned, leaving the agent without decision support.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It reveals output content but lacks disclosure on side effects, rate limits, or data freshness. Being a read operation is implied by 'Get' but not explicitly stated, and behavior when no date is given is only hinted as 'recent' without specifics.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two succinct sentences with no redundant information. Every word adds value: defines the tool, explains its measurement, and lists the data fields returned.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple one-parameter tool with no output schema, the description covers the main points: what the tool does, what data it returns, and parameter usage. However, it lacks explanations of output values (e.g., what constitutes acute vs chronic load) and error scenarios, leaving some gaps in completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, baseline 3. Description adds value by clarifying the date format (YYYY-MM-DD) and the default behavior (returns recent data if not provided), which is not in the schema definition.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states verb 'Get' and resource 'cardio load data', and explains it shows acute load, chronic load, and load status. However, it does not explicitly distinguish from sibling tools like get_cardio_load_range or get_cardio_load_history, missing a chance to differentiate.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (get_cardio_load_range, get_cardio_load_history). The description implies usage for cardiovascular strain measurement but provides no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states the format and download intent, but does not mention that it is a read-only operation, required permissions, or error handling. This leaves significant gaps for an agent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with two sentences, no wasted words, and the first sentence clearly communicates the tool's primary action. However, it could be slightly more informative without sacrificing brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple parameter schema and lack of output schema, the description covers the basic purpose and format. However, it lacks details about the response format (e.g., binary file), potential errors, and comparison with sibling format tools, making it adequate but not fully complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% for the single parameter, including its requirement. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Download', the resource 'exercise data', and the format 'FIT'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_exercise_tcx and get_exercise_gpx, which download in other formats.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_exercise_tcx or get_exercise_gpx. The format mention implies usage, but explicit context or exclusions are missing.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description carries the full burden. It does not disclose behavioral traits such as read-only nature, required permissions, or rate limits. The tool's safety profile is entirely opaque.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences with no unnecessary words. The information is front-loaded and efficient, earning every character.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema exists, yet the description does not explain the format or nature of the 'recommendations' returned. The agent lacks information on what to expect from the response, leaving a significant gap for a tool with two optional parameters.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% (both 'from' and 'to' are described in the schema). The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides, meeting the baseline but not exceeding it.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves 'circadian bedtime recommendations' based on sleep patterns and circadian rhythm, using a specific verb 'Get' and a unique resource not mentioned in sibling tools like 'get_sleep' or 'get_sleepwise_alertness'. It effectively distinguishes itself.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., 'get_sleep' for raw data, 'get_sleepwise_alertness' for alertness). The description does not mention prerequisites or limitations, leaving the agent without context for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It lacks information on read-only nature, rate limits, data scope, or what happens with invalid dates. It does not contradict annotations but is insufficient for full transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise with two sentences, no redundant information, and front-loaded key information. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations or output schema, the description lacks details about the return format, data volume, or completeness of results. It is too sparse for a tool with optional date filtering among many similar data retrieval tools.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with both parameters documented (optional dates in YYYY-MM-DD format). The description does not add additional meaning beyond the schema, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get', the resource 'SpO2 test results', and provides context about the source (Elixir biosensing) and device requirement. It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like get_heart_rate or get_body_temperature.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description only mentions a device requirement (SpO2 measurement capability) but does not provide when to use this tool over alternatives, exclude scenarios, or list prerequisites. No guidance on date range usage or data availability.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must carry full burden. It only states the basic function and output type, without disclosing behavioral traits such as authorization requirements, rate limits, data latency, or whether the data is historical or real-time.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two efficient sentences, front-loaded with purpose. No redundant information. Every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While the description explains what the tool returns, it lacks details on the response format (e.g., structure of daily metrics, units). For a simple tool with no output schema, more context on the output would improve completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema covers both parameters with descriptions. The description does not add additional meaning beyond 'for a date range', which is already implied by the parameter names and schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate as schema coverage is 100%.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states verb 'get', resource 'cardio load data', and scope 'for a date range'. It also specifies output granularity (daily), distinguishing it from sibling tools like get_cardio_load (likely single day) and get_cardio_load_history (likely history).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_cardio_load or get_cardio_load_history. The agent must infer based on sibling names; no when-not-to conditions are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are absent, so description carries full burden. Fails to disclose behavioral details like authentication, rate limits, error handling, or output size. Only basic function is described.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences with no wasted words. The second sentence about compatibility adds value but is not critical for selection.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Simple tool with one parameter. Description explains format and compatibility, sufficient for basic understanding. Lacks output schema, but mentions TCX partially compensates.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description adds no additional meaning beyond schema; mentions TCX format but not param-specific.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states action ('download exercise data') and format ('TCX'), with explanation of what TCX is and its compatibility. Differentiates from siblings by specifying the format.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives like get_exercise_fit or get_exercise_gpx. Does not mention when-not to use or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must fully convey behavioral traits. It mentions the tool returns intraday data, but fails to disclose important aspects like authorization requirements, rate limits, or whether it mutates state. For a read operation, more explicit safety signals are needed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences that front-load the core purpose and include the key conditional behavior. Every word adds value with no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (one optional parameter) and no output schema, the description provides sufficient context to understand its basic function and the parameter's behavior. However, it could be more complete by specifying the return format or data range, but overall adequate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds meaning beyond the schema by explaining the behavior when the 'date' parameter is omitted, which is not captured in the schema. Since schema coverage is 100%, the baseline is 3; the extra conditional context raises it to 4.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves 'detailed activity samples' with specific examples (step counts, activity zone data) and indicates 'intraday activity breakdown'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_daily_activity_range by implying a single-day scope, though explicit differentiation is missing.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides a conditional usage note for the 'date' parameter, stating that omitting it lists available dates. However, it lacks guidance on when to use this tool versus related siblings (e.g., get_activity_samples_range) or any prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description notes that GPX contains route/track data and can be used with mapping applications, adding context beyond the schema. However, with no annotations, it does not disclose authentication needs, rate limits, or any other behavioral traits.

Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with two sentences, no extraneous information, and the key action is front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given low complexity (1 parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description is adequate. However, it does not specify the return format of the GPX data (e.g., binary string) or mention any pagination or size limits, leaving some gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema covers 100% of the single parameter (exerciseId) with a description implying it is required. The tool description repeats this requirement but adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Download', the resource 'exercise GPS route', and the format 'GPX'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_exercise_fit and get_exercise_tcx by specifying the GPX format.

Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention that other formats like FIT or TCX are available via sibling tools, nor any criteria for choosing GPX.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It indicates a read operation ('get') but does not mention data freshness, availability, or authentication requirements.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences front-load the purpose and value, with no redundant information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description omits return format. However, the tool is simple with two optional date parameters, so the missing output details are a minor gap.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% and the description adds 'throughout the day' for context, but no additional meaning beyond the schema parameter descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves predicted alertness levels based on sleep patterns. It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_sleep or get_nightly_recharge by focusing on alertness data.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for understanding alert patterns but lacks explicit guidance on when to use versus alternatives, or any exclusion criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It fails to disclose behavioral traits such as data freshness, pagination, rate limits, or whether the operation is safe (read-only). The description only states the aggregation type, which is insufficient for an agent to understand side effects or constraints.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two short sentences with no wasted words. It is front-loaded with the core purpose and immediately provides a usage context. Highly efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
This is a simple tool with no output schema. The description does not describe the return format, data structure, or any example output. For a tool that returns aggregated historical data, details like the data fields or time series format would be necessary for an agent to correctly process the response.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, with parameters 'count' and 'period_type' clearly documented in the schema. The description adds no further meaning beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves historical cardio load data aggregated by days or months. It distinguishes from siblings like get_cardio_load (which likely provides current or single-point data) and get_cardio_load_range (which may provide a range). The verb 'get' and resource 'historical cardio load data' are specific.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides a clear use case: 'Useful for long-term training load analysis.' This tells the agent when to use it. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or provide alternatives among siblings, which would improve guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden for behavior disclosure. It states the output granularity (5-minute intervals) and a prerequisite, which is adequate but incomplete. It does not specify data availability behavior, error handling, or that the operation is read-only, scoring a 3.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description consists of two succinct sentences, front-loading the purpose and output format without any redundant information. Every sentence earns its place, making it highly efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema), the description covers the essential aspects: what data is returned and a prerequisite. It is mostly complete, though it could benefit from a brief note on the return structure (e.g., array of objects). Overall, sufficient for the complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema already covers the single parameter with a description, achieving 100% coverage. The tool description adds marginal value by explaining the output format (5-minute samples) but does not deepen parameter understanding beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it retrieves continuous heart rate data and returns 5-minute interval samples, making the tool's purpose evident. However, it does not explicitly differentiate itself from the sibling tool 'get_continuous_heart_rate_range', which likely operates over a date range, limiting clarity slightly.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description mentions a prerequisite (heart rate tracking enabled), which provides some usage context. However, it lacks guidance on when to prefer this tool over alternatives like 'get_continuous_heart_rate_range' or when not to use it, leaving the agent with only implied usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It lists return fields but omits behavioral details such as authentication requirements, data freshness, or whether it returns partial vs. full-day data. Minimal beyond output specification.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence front-loads purpose ('Get daily activity summary') and efficiently lists contents. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite no output schema, description lists key fields making the tool's output predictable. Adequately complete for a simple read tool, though could mention units or time granularity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema covers the date parameter with format and default behavior. Description adds value by enumerating what the summary includes (steps, calories, etc.), which is not in the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states it retrieves a daily activity summary with specific data points (steps, calories, active time, goal progress, classification), distinguishing it from siblings focused on exercises, sleep, or heart rate.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_daily_activity_range or get_exercises. With many siblings, some usage context would help.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided. Description adds minimal behavioral info beyond purpose, such as what happens with missing data or privacy implications. With no annotations, description carries full burden but only mentions data source and recovery insights.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two short sentences, no redundancy, front-loaded with key information. Every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Adequately describes purpose for a simple read tool with minimal parameters. Lacks output schema specification (no info on return format or fields), but overall context is sufficient given tool simplicity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for both optional 'from' and 'to' parameters. Description does not add further meaning or format details; baseline of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states verb 'Get', resource 'skin temperature data', source 'Elixir biosensing', and context 'during sleep for recovery insights'. Distinguishes from sibling tools like get_body_temperature by specifying sleep-specific measurement.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Implies usage for sleep skin temperature, but no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. No mention of alternatives like get_body_temperature or when to prefer this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only mentions core functionality and optional parameters; no mention of authentication, rate limits, error responses, or data freshness. Lacks sufficient transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, 15 words, no fluff. Front-loaded with core purpose. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema, yet description does not hint at return structure beyond 'detailed data'. For a simple retrieval tool it is adequate but could describe what fields besides samples/zones are included.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds minimal extra meaning ('for detailed analysis') beyond parameter descriptions. No additional constraints or required context provided.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb ('Get') and resource ('detailed data for a specific exercise by ID'), uniquely identifying the tool. It distinguishes from siblings like get_exercises (list all) and get_exercise_fit (FIT format).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage when you have a specific exercise ID and want detailed data with optional samples/zones. It does not explicitly exclude alternatives, but the context is clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavior. It discloses the 30-day time constraint and optional parameters. However, it does not describe what happens when there are no exercises, potential errors, or data freshness guarantees. For a simple read tool, this is adequate but not fully transparent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no unnecessary words. The first sentence defines the core purpose, and the second adds optional functionality. Perfectly concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With no output schema, the description should summarize the return format. It only says 'exercise data' without detailing fields. Given the low complexity of a list endpoint, this is acceptable but could be more informative (e.g., 'start time, duration, calories').
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with clear descriptions for both parameters. The description adds context by saying 'for deeper analysis', but this largely restates the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the description does not significantly augment the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get', the resource 'exercise data from Polar', and the scope 'last 30 days'. It also distinguishes from siblings by mentioning optional detailed samples and training zones, which are specific to this tool among many get_exercise* siblings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies that detailed data is optional ('Can include... for deeper analysis'), but does not explicitly state when to use this tool vs alternatives like get_exercise (single) or get_exercise_fit. No when-not-to-use or prerequisites are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It states that the tool returns specific metrics (ANS charge, HRV, breathing rate, recovery assessment), which implies a read operation. However, it lacks information about permissions, error conditions, or any side effects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two concise sentences with no unnecessary words. It front-loads the core purpose and then lists the return fields efficiently, earning its place without fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema and moderate complexity, the description covers the main return fields but omits details like date inclusivity, data ordering, or pagination. It is adequate but not fully comprehensive for an agent to anticipate all behavior.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with clear descriptions for both 'from' and 'to' parameters. The description adds minimal extra meaning by referencing 'date range', but does not provide additional semantic detail beyond what the schema already offers.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses 'Get' as a specific verb and clearly identifies the resource as 'Nightly Recharge data for a date range'. It distinguishes from the sibling tool 'get_nightly_recharge' by specifying the range, making the purpose unmistakable.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies this tool is for retrieving data over a range, contrasting with the single-night 'get_nightly_recharge' sibling. However, it does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives, nor does it provide any exclusions or conditions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations present, so description carries full burden. Discloses return format (5-minute intervals per day) but lacks details on errors, rate limits, or data gaps. Absence of behavioral constraints keeps score at mid-range.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema provides full parameter descriptions (date format, required). Description does not add semantic beyond the schema; baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states action (get), resource (continuous heart rate data), and scope (date range with 5-minute intervals). Distinguishes from sibling 'get_continuous_heart_rate' which likely returns single-day data.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Implies usage for date range queries, but no explicit when-to-use or alternatives guidance. Sibling list shows a single-day variant, but no exclusion criteria provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description bears the full burden. It lists returned metrics but does not disclose if the tool is read-only, requires permissions, or has data freshness constraints. The safe, expected behavior is implied but not explicitly stated.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences efficiently convey the tool's purpose and key metrics. The most critical information is front-loaded, and every sentence adds value without extraneous detail.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite lacking an output schema, the description lists key returned fields (stages, score, duration, interruptions, quality), giving the agent reasonable expectations. Missing details on response format or aggregation, but sufficient for typical use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The single parameter 'date' has 100% schema coverage with format specification. The description adds 'specific date to get sleep data for' which reinforces but does not extend beyond the schema. Baseline score due to high coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves sleep tracking data and lists specific metrics (stages, score, duration, interruptions, quality). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like get_sleep_range (which returns range data) and get_nightly_recharge (different metric).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_sleep_range or get_nightly_recharge. The description implies single-day data retrieval with the optional 'date' parameter but lacks context for batch queries or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description discloses two key behavioral traits: maximum range of 28 days and that from date cannot be older than 365 days. This goes beyond the schema to help the agent avoid errors.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
