Server Quality Checklist

Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.

Latest release: v0.1.4
Disambiguation4/5
Most tools have distinct purposes, with clear separation between retrieval (get_*) and analysis (analyze_*, compare_*, etc.). However, there is some potential overlap among analytical tools like analyze_sleep_quality, best_sleep_conditions, and compare_conditions, which could cause confusion for an agent without careful reading of descriptions.
Naming Consistency3/5
The naming uses multiple verb styles (get, analyze, compare, correlate, detect) and one adjective phrase (best_sleep_conditions), making the pattern inconsistent. While each verb indicates a function, the lack of a single predictable convention reduces coherence.
Tool Count3/5
With 27 tools, the server is on the high side for a single-domain MCP. While each tool seems justified by the rich Oura data model, the quantity may overwhelm agents and suggests potential over-scoping.
Completeness4/5
The tool set covers a wide range of Oura metrics (sleep, activity, HRV, temperature, tags, workouts, etc.) and provides both data retrieval and analysis. Minor gaps exist, such as no create/update operations for tags or sessions, but these are reasonable for a read-and-analyze focused server.
Average 3.8/5 across 27 of 27 tools scored. Lowest: 2.9/5.

How is the quality score calculated?

The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).

Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.

Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).

Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.

Tool Scores

Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It describes the tool as retrieving an estimate based on unspecified metrics, but does not disclose data sources, computation method, accuracy, or whether it is read-only. The lack of detail leaves uncertainty about side effects and reliability.
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?
Two sentences with no wasted words. The purpose is stated in the first sentence, and the second adds the comparative context. Efficient and front-loaded.
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?
No output schema is provided, and the description fails to explain what the return value includes (e.g., a number, a range, a comparison chart). It mentions comparison but does not specify output format, making it incomplete for an agent to judge how to use the result.
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% with clear parameter descriptions in the input schema (date format and defaults). The description does not add or clarify parameter usage further, meeting the baseline expectation for a well-documented schema.
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?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves estimated cardiovascular age and contrasts it with actual age. It distinguishes from sibling tools, none of which specifically target cardiovascular age. However, it vaguely references 'heart health metrics' without specifying what they are, which slightly reduces clarity.
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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description implies its use for comparing ages, but does not state prerequisites, contraindications, or when another tool (e.g., get_heart_rate) might be more appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
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, data limits, or side effects. For a read operation, confirming safety would be helpful.
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?
Two concise sentences: first states the action, second provides context. No wasted words and front-loaded with the core purpose.
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?
Adequate for a simple getter tool with no output schema. Explains what tags are used for, but does not describe return format or any pagination/limitations.
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% with clear descriptions for both parameters. The description adds context about tag usage but does not elaborate on parameter details beyond the schema.
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?
Description clearly states 'Get user-created tags and notes' and explains their purpose for tracking lifestyle factors. However, it does not distinguish from the sibling tool 'get_enhanced_tags' which likely has overlapping functionality.
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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., 'get_enhanced_tags') or any prerequisites. The description only implies general use for tracking lifestyle factors.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description bears the full burden of disclosing behavioral traits. It only states what the tool retrieves but does not mention whether it is read-only, required permissions, error handling, pagination, or data completeness. This lack of detail could lead to incorrect assumptions about the tool's behavior.
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 is concise, consisting of two sentences. The first sentence immediately states the tool's purpose, and the second sentence provides use cases. No extraneous words are used, and the information is front-loaded efficiently.
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 simplicity of the tool (2 optional parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description provides the core purpose and use cases. However, it does not describe the return format or structure, which would be helpful for an agent. The lack of an output schema means the description should cover output details more thoroughly.
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?
The input schema has 100% description coverage for both parameters (start_date and end_date), so the schema already explains their format and defaults. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond what is in the schema, meeting the baseline expectation.
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?
The description clearly states it retrieves daily SpO2 percentage and breathing disturbance index, with specific use cases for respiratory health and sleep apnea. The verb 'get' combined with the resource 'daily SpO2' makes the purpose clear. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like get_heart_rate or get_sleep, which could lead to confusion.
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 provides context for when to use the tool (monitoring respiratory health, detecting sleep apnea patterns, understanding overnight oxygen levels), but it lacks explicit exclusions or mentions of alternative tools. No guidance is given on when not to use this tool or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It mentions retrieving workout sessions but does not disclose whether it returns all sessions, uses pagination, or is read-only. The date range behavior is implied via schema but not explicitly stated as defaulting to today's date.
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 is two sentences with no redundant words. It efficiently states the purpose and use case, making it easy to read.
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?
The description lists the fields returned, which is helpful given no output schema. However, it lacks details on response format, ordering, or any filtering beyond dates. For a relatively simple tool with no output schema, it is adequate but not thorough.
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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters. The description does not add additional meaning beyond what the schema provides, meriting the baseline score of 3.
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?
Description clearly states it gets workout sessions and lists specific data fields (activity type, duration, etc.), indicating the resource and verb. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from siblings like 'get_activity' or 'get_sessions', which may also return workout-like data.
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 suggests using the tool to analyze exercise patterns, frequency, and training load, which implies when to use it. However, it provides no guidance on when not to use it or alternative tools for similar purposes, such as 'analyze_adherence' or 'get_activity'.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided. Description mentions 'Shows trends and flags unusual readings' but does not disclose data source, freshness, assumptions, or potential side effects. More detail expected for 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?
Two sentences, front-loaded with core purpose, followed by interpretive context. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, description covers purpose, output behaviors (trends, flags), and interpretive context. Could mention output format but adequate.
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?
Single parameter 'days' has description in schema (100% coverage). Description adds no additional meaning beyond schema. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
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?
Clearly states it analyzes body temperature patterns from readiness data, with specific applications (illness, cycles, environmental factors). Distinguishes from sibling tools which focus on other metrics like HRV, sleep, or activity.
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?
Implies usage for temperature pattern analysis and interpretation of deviations, but lacks explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. No mention of alternatives among sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It mentions the output (strength, direction, significance) but omits details on the correlation method (e.g., Pearson vs Spearman), data handling (missing values, outliers), or error conditions (e.g., insufficient data points). Adequate but not transparent about internal mechanics.
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 is extremely concise: two sentences that front-load the main action, provide an example, and summarize the return value. No wasted words.
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 low complexity (two metrics plus days) and no output schema, the description offers a basic understanding. However, it lacks details on return format, pagination, or error handling. Usage guidelines and behavioral transparency gaps reduce completeness. Adequate but not fully complete.
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?
The input schema already provides descriptions for all three parameters (metric1, metric2, days), achieving 100% coverage. The description adds no additional semantic value beyond the schema; it does not elaborate on parameter formats, units, or constraints. Baseline score of 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?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: finding correlations between two health metrics. It provides concrete examples (HRV with sleep duration, activity with readiness) and specifies the output (correlation strength, direction, statistical significance). This distinguishes it from sibling tools that focus on single-metric analysis or raw data retrieval.
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?
The description implies usage through examples but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives or when not to use it. No guidance on prerequisites, such as the need for sufficient data or the type of correlation used. Given the presence of sibling analysis tools, explicit usage guidelines would help an AI agent select correctly.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses that sessions include type, duration, and biometrics like heart rate and HRV. However, it does not mention pagination, rate limits, or what happens when no data is found. It provides moderate transparency about return content but not operational behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and key output fields. It is front-loaded and has no wasted words, but it could be slightly more structured by separating purpose and output details.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple retrieval tool with two optional parameters and no output schema, the description covers the main purpose and return fields. It lacks explicit mention of the return format (e.g., array) or pagination, but these are relatively minor omissions given the low complexity.
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% with both parameters (start_date, end_date) described in the schema, including format and defaults. The tool description adds no additional parameter information beyond what the schema already provides. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
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 the tool retrieves meditation, breathing, and relaxation sessions from Oura, listing specific included fields like type, duration, and biometrics. This is a specific verb-resource combination that distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_activity or get_sleep.
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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of when not to use it or any comparison with sibling tools. The description assumes the agent will infer usage from the name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses the tool 'looks at' various data types and 'identifies what predicts good vs poor sleep,' but it does not specify read-only behavior, output format, or potential side effects. It adds moderate context but leaves gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences: first states purpose, second adds detail. No superfluous content, but the structure could be improved by separating purpose from details more formally.
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 complexity and lack of output schema, the description adequately explains inputs and analysis scope but omits output description. It is sufficient for basic use but lacks completeness for advanced scenarios.
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% (single parameter 'days' with description). The description adds no further meaning beyond the schema, meeting the baseline for well-documented parameters.

Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It reveals that the tool returns predefined categories and custom tags with timestamps/durations, but does not disclose any behavioral details such as read-only nature, rate limits, or error handling. The description is moderately transparent but lacks completeness.
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 is two sentences long, front-loaded with the main action, and includes relevant detail without unnecessary words. Every sentence contributes value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple getter with two optional parameters, the description covers the tool's purpose and the type of data returned. It is nearly complete, but could mention how the date parameters affect results (implied by schema) and how this tool differs from 'get_tags'.
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 includes descriptions for both parameters. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond what is already in the schema, such as defaults or date range behavior. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states it gets 'enhanced tags' with rich data, clearly identifying the verb and resource. It indirectly distinguishes from 'get_tags' by mentioning 'enhanced' and additional data fields, but does not explicitly differentiate itself from the sibling tool.
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?
Usage is implied: use when you need rich tag data with timestamps and durations. However, no explicit guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_tags' or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description must convey behavior. It lists what data is returned but does not disclose non-obvious traits like authentication, rate limits, or that it is a read-only operation. Adequate but minimal.
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?
Two short sentences, front-loaded with the main action. No wasted words, highly efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with 2 simple parameters and no output schema, the description covers the key aspects: what it retrieves (scores and contributors) and its purpose. Missing mention of return structure (e.g., daily entries) but still sufficient.
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% with descriptions for both date parameters. The description adds no extra meaning beyond listing contributor types, which relates to output rather than parameters. Baseline score applies.
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?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves daily readiness scores and contributions from HRV, heart rate, body temperature, and recovery. It implicitly differentiates from siblings like get_sleep or get_stress by focusing on readiness, though it does not explicitly name alternatives.

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It indicates a read operation with no destructive impact. However, it does not disclose behaviors like data availability for missing dates, defaulting behavior (though schema mentions 'defaults to today'), or any rate limits. Minimal but adequate for a simple data retrieval tool.
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?
Two sentences with no wasted words. The first sentence states the purpose and key inclusions; the second adds value by describing the resilience level scale. Well-structured and front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given two simple optional parameters, no output schema, and no nested objects, the description is fairly complete. It explains what the scores include and the range. A minor gap is not specifying that results are returned as daily data, but overall sufficient for a tool of this complexity.
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 description does not add extra meaning beyond what the schema provides. It mentions 'daily' and date range implicitly but does not explain parameter semantics further. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
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 the tool retrieves 'daily resilience scores' and explains what they measure (sleep recovery, daytime recovery, stress contributors) and the range (limited to exceptional). This verb+resource combination is specific and distinguishes it from related sibling tools like 'get_readiness' or 'get_stress'.
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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Sibling tools include 'get_readiness', 'get_stress', and other resilience-related analytics, but the description does not help the agent decide which to pick.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It describes a read-only analysis but does not explicitly state it does not modify data or require special permissions. Could be improved with explicit read-only statement.
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?
Two sentences with front-loaded key action. Every word adds value; no fluff. Excellent conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description adequately covers what the tool does and what it produces. Could mention that the output is a report or summary, but not required.

Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It lists the fields returned (age, weight, height, biological sex) and the intended use, but does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether it is read-only, authentication needs, or the response format. This is minimal disclosure for a tool that retrieves personal information.
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?
Two sentences with no filler. The first sentence concisely states the action and the data returned, and the second adds brief context. It is appropriately sized and front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given zero parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description covers the essential details about the data retrieved and its purpose. It could mention prerequisites (e.g., user authentication) but is mostly complete for a simple retrieval tool.
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?
The input schema has zero parameters with 100% coverage. The description adds meaning beyond the schema by listing the types of information returned (age, weight, height, biological sex), helping the agent understand what to expect from the tool.
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 'Get your Oura profile information including age, weight, height, and biological sex', specifying the verb and resource. Among sibling tools like get_activity and get_sleep, it uniquely focuses on personal profile data, distinguishing itself effectively.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with two sentences. The first sentence clearly states the action and resource, and the second explains the output. No unnecessary words or repetition.
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?
Given the tool's simplicity (two optional date parameters, no output schema), the description adequately explains the output categories and general behavior. It fully addresses what an agent needs to know for basic selection and invocation.
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?
The input schema has 100% description coverage for both parameters. The description adds value by clarifying defaults (today for start_date, start_date for end_date) and the required date format (YYYY-MM-DD), which goes beyond the schema descriptions.
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 the tool's purpose: retrieving daily stress levels and recovery time, including specific output categories like time in high stress vs high recovery zones and a day summary. This distinguishes it from sibling tools that focus on other metrics.
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 provides a general use case ('understand stress patterns and recovery balance') but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives or when not to use it. No exclusion criteria or sibling comparisons are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
