Getting an Access Token
Register your application at Wahoo's Developer Portal to get a Client ID and Client Secret.
Create a
.envfile from the example:cp .env.example .envThen edit
.envand add your credentials:WAHOO_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_here WAHOO_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret_hereSet the token file path in your
.envfile:WAHOO_TOKEN_FILE=token.jsonUse the authentication helper:
make auth # or uv run python src/auth.pyThis will:
Use credentials from
.env(or prompt if not set)Open a browser for OAuth authentication
Start a local server to receive the callback
Save your tokens to the file specified by
WAHOO_TOKEN_FILETokens will be automatically refreshed when needed

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states this is a creation operation but doesn't mention permissions required, whether it's idempotent, error conditions, or what happens on success (e.g., returns a plan ID). For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, this is inadequate.
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 description is a single, efficient sentence with zero wasted words. It's appropriately sized and front-loaded with the essential information about what the tool does.
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 creation tool with complex nested parameters (4 params, 3 required, nested objects) and no annotations or output schema, the description is insufficient. It doesn't explain what constitutes a valid 'plan' structure, how to handle the 'external_id', or what the tool returns upon success.
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 100%, so the schema fully documents all 4 parameters. The description adds no additional parameter information beyond what's in the schema, which is acceptable given the comprehensive schema documentation.
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 action ('Create') and resource ('new plan in the user's library'), making the purpose immediately understandable. It doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_plan' or 'list_plans', but it's not misleading or tautological.
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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'list_plans' or 'get_plan'. There's no mention of prerequisites, constraints, or typical use cases, leaving the agent to infer usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_planC
Get detailed information about a specific plan
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| plan_id | Yes | The ID of the plan to retrieve |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description should compensate. It only states 'get detailed information' but does not disclose that it is a read-only, idempotent operation, or what happens on error (e.g., invalid plan_id). The behavioral profile is under-specified.
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 description is a single sentence of 8 words, which is concise but too minimal. It lacks any structure (e.g., multiple sentences or bullet points) that could enhance readability while staying brief.
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 simple retrieval tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is adequate but not complete. It does not hint at the return structure (e.g., includes exercises, duration) or any constraints. Given the low complexity, it meets the minimum viable level.
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% with a description for the only parameter (plan_id). The tool description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema already provides, which meets the baseline for a fully documented 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?
The description clearly states the action (get) and resource (plan). It is specific enough to distinguish from siblings like list_plans (listing) and create_workout (creation). However, it does not elaborate on what 'plan' means or how it differs from other 'get' tools like get_power_zone.
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?
No usage guidance is given. There is no mention of when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., list_plans for overview, or get_power_zone for specific data). The description omits prerequisites or context for use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_power_zoneB
Get detailed information about a specific power zone
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| power_zone_id | Yes | The ID of the power zone to retrieve |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description bears full burden. It indicates a read operation ('Get') but does not explicitly state it is non-destructive or confirm safety.
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?
Single sentence, no redundancy, front-loaded with the action. It is concise but could be more informative without losing brevity.
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 simple retrieval tool with one required parameter and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate but lacks usage guidance and behavioral details.
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%, so baseline is 3. The description adds no extra meaning to the parameter beyond what the schema already provides.
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 states 'Get detailed information about a specific power zone', which clearly indicates a retrieval operation for a single resource. It distinguishes from sibling list_power_zones by specifying 'specific'.
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?
No explicit instructions on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The intended use is implied (when you have a specific power_zone_id), but no exclusions or alternatives are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_routeB
Get detailed information about a specific route
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| route_id | Yes | The ID of the route to retrieve |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the action ('Get') but does not reveal whether this is a read-only operation, if it requires authentication, has rate limits, or what the output format entails. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant gap in transparency.
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 description is a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and wastes no space, making it highly concise and well-structured for quick comprehension.
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 tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description is minimally adequate but lacks depth. It does not explain return values or behavioral traits, which are crucial for a tool with no structured output or safety hints, leaving gaps in 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?
The input schema has 100% description coverage, with the single parameter 'route_id' documented as 'The ID of the route to retrieve'. The description adds no additional meaning beyond this, such as format examples or constraints, so it meets the baseline score when the schema does the heavy lifting.
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 verb ('Get') and resource ('route') with specificity ('detailed information about a specific route'), making the purpose evident. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'list_routes' or 'get_plan', which would require more nuance to achieve a perfect score.
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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as 'list_routes' for multiple routes or other 'get_' tools for different resources. It lacks context on prerequisites, exclusions, or comparative use cases, leaving the agent to infer usage from the tool name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_workoutB
Get detailed information about a specific workout
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| workout_id | Yes | The ID of the workout to retrieve |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states it 'gets' information, implying a read-only operation, but doesn't disclose behavioral traits like error handling (e.g., if workout_id is invalid), authentication needs, rate limits, or what 'detailed information' includes (e.g., fields, format). For a tool with no annotations, this leaves significant gaps in understanding its behavior.
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 description is a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary words. It is appropriately sized and front-loaded, making it easy to parse quickly. Every part of the sentence contributes to understanding the tool.
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 tool's low complexity (single parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description is minimally complete but lacks depth. It covers the basic purpose but doesn't address usage guidelines, behavioral details, or output information. For a simple read tool, it's adequate but leaves clear gaps that could hinder effective agent use.
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 100%, with the single parameter 'workout_id' documented in the schema as 'The ID of the workout to retrieve'. The description adds no additional meaning beyond this, such as ID format or examples. With high schema coverage, the baseline is 3, as the schema adequately handles parameter documentation.
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 verb ('Get') and resource ('detailed information about a specific workout'), making the purpose understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'list_workouts' or 'get_plan', which would require mentioning it retrieves a single workout by ID versus listing multiple workouts or getting other entity types.
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?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing a valid workout_id), contrast with 'list_workouts' for multiple workouts, or specify contexts like after listing workouts to get details. The description is standalone without usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_plansC
List plans from Wahoo Cloud API
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| external_id | No | Filter plans by external ID |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavior. It only says 'List plans', implying a read operation, but omits details like permissions, side effects, or return format.
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 description is extremely brief (7 words), which is efficient but lacks necessary detail. It is not overly verbose, but the conciseness comes at the cost of completeness.
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 no output schema and only one optional parameter, the description fails to explain what the list returns (e.g., array of plan objects), pagination, or filtering behavior. It is incomplete for practical use.
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?
The input schema has one parameter with a description, achieving 100% coverage. The tool description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema provides, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
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 states 'List plans from Wahoo Cloud API', clearly indicating the action (list) and resource (plans). It's distinct from sibling 'get_plan' which implies a single plan retrieval, but it doesn't explicitly differentiate.
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?
No usage guidelines are provided. The description does not specify when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_plan or other list tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_power_zonesB
List power zones from Wahoo Cloud API
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states it lists power zones, with no info on authentication needs, pagination, rate limits, or data freshness.
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 description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no unnecessary words. For a tool with no parameters, it is appropriately concise.
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 no output schema and sibling tools, the description should clarify how list differs from get or other operations. It fails to provide enough context for correct invocation without prior knowledge.
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?
There are no parameters, so the description is the sole source of meaning. It adds value by naming the resource, but lacks details on what constitutes a power zone or the output structure.
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 lists power zones from the Wahoo Cloud API. It uses a specific verb and resource, but does not differentiate from sibling tools like get_power_zone.
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?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as get_power_zone for a single zone. No pre-conditions or exclusions are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_routesC
List routes from Wahoo Cloud API
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| external_id | No | Filter routes by external ID |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It fails to disclose important behaviors such as authentication requirements, pagination, or read-only nature.
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?
A single concise sentence with no unnecessary words. However, it could be more informative without becoming verbose.
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 simplicity of the tool (list with one optional filter), the description is adequate but lacks return value information and behavioral context, which would be important given no output schema.
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 includes a parameter description. The tool description adds no new meaning beyond the schema, so baseline score is appropriate.
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?
Description states 'List routes' with source, clearly identifying the resource and action. It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_workouts by referencing a different resource type.
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?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With siblings present, it would be beneficial to recommend this over list_workouts for routes.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| end_date | No | Filter workouts created before this date (ISO 8601 format) |
TDQS
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 'List workouts' and does not mention pagination, filtering behavior, authentication, or any side effects. The schema parameter descriptions are not repeated in the tool description.
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 description is a single concise sentence with no wasted words, but it is slightly under-specified. It earns its place but could be longer with benefit.
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 no output schema and no annotations, the description should explain what the response contains, how pagination works, and filtering date format. It lacks these details, making it incomplete for an agent.
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 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add extra meaning beyond the schema; it does not explain date format or pagination behavior in prose.
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 verb 'List' and resource 'workouts', distinguishing it from sibling tools like create_workout and list_plans, though it does not explicitly differentiate from other list tools.
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?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no context about prerequisites or when not to use it. With siblings like list_plans, list_routes, users need more direction.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 9 tools
Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose targeting specific resources (plans, power zones, routes, workouts) with clear action verbs (create, get, list). There is no ambiguity or overlap between tools, as each tool name precisely indicates what resource it operates on and what action it performs.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case throughout. The naming convention is perfectly predictable: create_plan, get_plan, list_plans, get_power_zone, list_power_zones, etc. There are no deviations or mixed styles.
With 9 tools, this server is well-scoped for managing Wahoo fitness resources. Each tool earns its place by covering distinct operations (create, get, list) across four resource types (plans, power zones, routes, workouts), providing a balanced and focused toolset.
The server covers get and list operations comprehensively for all four resource types, plus create for plans. However, there are notable gaps: no update or delete operations for any resource, and create is missing for power zones, routes, and workouts. This limits full lifecycle management.
