get_weigh_ins

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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. The verb 'Get' implies a read-only operation and the date range is clearly scoped, but the description does not explicitly state that no data is modified, what granularity of data is returned, or whether both dates are inclusive.

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?

The purpose is stated in a single front-loaded sentence, followed by a compact Args block with no filler. Every sentence earns its place, and the structure is easy to scan.

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?

Given the presence of an output schema and only two simple required parameters, the description provides the essential calling contract. It could be more complete by clarifying date-boundary behavior or differentiating from get_daily_weigh_ins, but these are minor gaps for a simple retrieval tool.

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 the description compensates by explicitly defining both parameters and their exact YYYY-MM-DD format. It does not address inclusivity or ordering, but the parameter names and required flags already convey the basic contract.

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 uses a specific verb ('Get'), a clear resource ('weight measurements'), and a date-range scope ('between specified dates'). It does not explicitly distinguish itself from sibling tools like get_daily_weigh_ins, but the core purpose is unambiguous.

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 gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_daily_weigh_ins, get_stats_and_body, or get_progress_summary_between_dates. There is no mention of exclusions, prerequisites, or preferred contexts.

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