get_blood_pressure

Read-only

Retrieve daily blood pressure readings from Garmin Connect for a specified date range using start and end dates.

Instructions

Return blood pressure by day for 'startdate' format 'YYYY-MM-DD' through enddate 'YYYY-MM-DD'. (Garmin Connect, read-only. Dates are YYYY-MM-DD.)

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, and destructiveHint=false; the description's 'read-only' note simply repeats that. It adds 'by day' granularity and the Garmin Connect source, but says nothing about permissions, rate limits, or behavior when enddate is omitted.

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?

Very short and front-loaded, which is good, but the YYYY-MM-DD format is repeated three times in two sentences, and the parenthetical 'read-only' overlaps annotations, so not every clause earns its place.

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

Completeness3/5

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 not be described, and the date format is covered. Still missing for a range-based tool: enddate optionality and default behavior, which an agent needs to call it correctly.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description must carry parameter meaning; it does supply the YYYY-MM-DD format for both dates, which is genuinely useful. However it never clarifies that enddate is optional with a null default, nor what happens if enddate is omitted (single day vs. open-ended range).

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb and resource ('Return blood pressure by day') with scope (a date range) and data source (Garmin Connect). It is clearly distinguishable from siblings like get_heart_rates or get_daily_heart_rate_stats, though it never explicitly contrasts with them.

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?

No when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, and no mention of related tools such as get_heart_rates. The only usage-like content is the implied date-range requirement, which the schema already enforces via the required startdate.

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