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 and discloses almost nothing: it does not state that this is a read operation, whether results can be empty, whether pagination applies, or what permissions are needed. Only the linkage to an activity is conveyed.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

It is a single short sentence with no waste, but the brevity comes from under-specification rather than discipline — nothing is front-loaded because nothing beyond the resource noun is stated.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a one-parameter retrieval tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description should at minimum say it returns a collection of planned workouts for a given activity. It leaves the operation, return shape, and parameter meaning for the agent to guess.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema coverage is 0% and the single parameter activity_id has no description in the schema. The phrase 'mit einer Aktivität verknüpft' hints that the parameter is an activity reference, but gives no format, source, or whether it is a Garmin activity ID versus an internal one.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The description identifies the resource (geplante/strukturierte Workouts) and its scope (linked to an activity), but omits the operation verb — an agent cannot tell whether this lists, fetches, or counts workouts. It distinguishes the resource from siblings like list_activities or activity_details, but only weakly.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no guidance on when to call this instead of siblings such as list_activities, activity_details, or activity_streams. The agent must infer usage from the name alone, with no exclusions or prerequisites stated.

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