Get workout FIT data

get_workout_fit
Read-only

Download a Suunto workout's FIT file and return parsed JSON. By default, get a compact summary; set full=true for all records.

Instructions

Downloads the workout's binary FIT file from Suunto and returns it parsed to JSON. Default (full=false): compact summary { sport, total_distance_km, avg_heart_rate, training_effect, laps (a COUNT only, not the laps), records_sample: { first, middle, last (one record each), count } }. Set full=true to receive every parsed FIT record and lap — pretty-printed, about 550 KB for a 35-lap strength session, so the result usually spills to a file. For per-lap data use get_workout_laps instead (about 2.5 KB); use full=true only when record-level data is required. An unknown workoutKey fails with a 403 Forbidden error here (not-found on the other workout tools). Read-only.

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the readOnlyHint annotation, it discloses non-obvious behavior: an unknown workoutKey returns 403 Forbidden HERE but not-found on other workout tools, and large results spill to a file. These are exactly the operational traits annotations cannot convey.

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?

Front-loaded with the core action, then the default behavior, then the escape hatch, then the error quirk. Dense but every clause carries actionable information (size estimates, error code divergence, sibling pointer) with no filler.

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?

With no output schema, the description carries the return-value burden and does so thoroughly, describing both the compact summary fields and the full payload nature. Combined with the error behavior and sibling routing, nothing an agent needs to call this correctly is missing.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description goes further by spelling out the exact shape the full=false summary returns (sport, total_distance_km, records_sample structure) and the size consequence of full=true. This adds meaning beyond the terse schema text, though much of it is return-shape rather than parameter semantics.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Downloads the workout's binary FIT file from Suunto and returns it parsed to JSON'), and immediately distinguishes itself from siblings by naming get_workout_laps as the per-lap alternative. An agent can tell what this does and how it differs from nearby tools without opening any schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly routes usage: default compact summary vs full=true for record-level data, with a concrete size signal ('about 550 KB for a 35-lap strength session, so the result usually spills to a file') and a named alternative ('For per-lap data use get_workout_laps instead (about 2.5 KB)'). It even states the exclusivity condition ('use full=true only when record-level data is required').

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