get_training

Retrieve key training metrics including readiness, VO2max, and fitness age from your Garmin account for a specified date.

Instructions

Training metrics for a date. Pick via metrics: readiness, morning_readiness, status, vo2max, fitness_age.

dateNoDate in YYYY-MM-DD format. Default: today.
metricsNoWhich training metrics to return. Default: [readiness, status, vo2max].
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as read-only nature, required permissions, side effects, or response format. The name implies a retrieval operation, but the description lacks explicit transparency.

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?

The description consists of two short, front-loaded sentences with no extraneous information. Every word is necessary and directly contributes to understanding the tool's purpose and parameters.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity, no output schema, and no annotations, the description provides adequate context for basic use. However, it lacks details about return values, date handling beyond default, and any behavioral context, leaving some gaps for an agent.

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%, so the schema descriptions already detail both parameters. The description adds a concise list of metric options, but this overlaps with the schema's enum values. It provides no new semantic meaning beyond what the schema offers, meeting the baseline.

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?

The description clearly states that the tool retrieves 'Training metrics for a date' and lists the specific available metrics via notation. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_weight or get_daily_health, which address different health domains.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies usage when training metrics are needed and provides a list of metrics to choose from, but it does not specify when to use this tool over alternatives or indicate any prerequisites or exclusions.

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