Delete workout

delete_workout
DestructiveIdempotent

Permanently delete a saved workout plan from the Garmin Connect workout library. Remove unwanted plans; unschedule calendar entries or delete activities separately.

Instructions

Permanently delete a saved workout (a plan) from the account's workout library.

To take a workout off one date but keep it, use unschedule_workout with the calendar entry's schedule_id instead. Completed sessions are activities, not workouts: delete those with delete_activity. Nothing here restores a deleted workout; get_workout first if its structure may be wanted again, since its raw field holds the full definition.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already establish destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, but the description adds non-obvious behavior: deletion is permanent and unrecoverable, and the recovery path is to call get_workout first because its raw field holds the full definition. That recovery guidance is not derivable from the annotations.

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-loads the destructive action and its scope, then spends the remaining sentences on routing and recovery. Every sentence earns its place 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?

An output schema exists so return values need no explanation, and the description handles the hard parts: disambiguating among many delete/unschedule/get siblings and warning about irreversibility. Nothing needed to call it correctly is missing.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% and the single workout_id parameter is already documented in the schema (sourced from list_workouts or list_scheduled_workouts). The description adds no syntax or format detail beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 applies.

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+resource+scope: permanently delete a saved workout (a plan) from the account's workout library. The parenthetical clarifies the domain object and cleanly separates it from sibling resources like activities.

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 names two alternatives and the conditions that select them: unschedule_workout to remove from a date while keeping the workout, and delete_activity for completed sessions. This is exactly the when/when-not/alternative guidance the dimension asks for.

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