garmin-login

Returns step-by-step instructions to authenticate with Garmin Connect. After following them, call the check-session tool to verify login success.

Instructions

Returns step-by-step instructions for authenticating with Garmin Connect. Requires the Playwright MCP server to be installed. After following these steps, ALWAYS call the check-session tool to verify the login worked.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No arguments

Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses that the tool returns instructions (not performing login), requires Playwright MCP server, and should be followed by check-session. No hidden behaviors.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Three sentences, each adding value: purpose, prerequisite, post-condition. No redundant information.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given no parameters and no output schema, description sufficiently covers what the tool does, its dependency, and related post-step. Complete for the tool's purpose.

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

Parameters4/5

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

No parameters defined; schema coverage is 100%. Baseline for 0 parameters is 4. Description adds context that output is instructions, which is useful.

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

Purpose5/5

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

Description clearly states it returns step-by-step instructions for authentication. The verb 'returns' and resource 'step-by-step instructions' are specific. It distinguishes from sibling tools which are data-access or workout tools.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Explicitly requires Playwright MCP server and instructs to call check-session after. Provides context for when to use, but does not explicitly state when not to use or compare to alternative authentication methods.

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