Get workout events

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

No annotations are provided, so the description shoulders the full burden. It discloses that results are paged, filtered by date, and contain events of type updates or deletes. However, it does not detail pagination semantics (e.g., how to iterate all pages), order of results, or rate limiting, which are relevant for a sync tool.

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, no filler. Every word contributes: first sentence states the action, second provides the use case. Efficient and front-loaded.

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?

For a straightforward read tool with 3 optional parameters and no output schema, the description covers the essential purpose and use case (syncing). The lack of return format details is acceptable given no output schema, but a brief mention of the event structure would improve completeness.

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 coverage is 100%, and the description aligns with parameters: 'since a given date' maps to 'since', 'paged list' to 'page' and 'pageSize'. However, the description adds little meaning beyond the schema's own parameter descriptions; it merely confirms their purpose without additional insight into formatting or behavior.

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 that the tool retrieves a paged list of workout events (updates or deletes) since a given date. It uses specific verbs ('Get') and resource ('workout events'), effectively distinguishing it from sibling tools like get-workout or get-workout-count.

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 explicitly says 'Useful for syncing workout changes', providing clear context for when to use the tool. It does not explicitly exclude other scenarios or mention alternatives, but the context is sufficiently clear for this type of tool.

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