NameDescription
fitbit_syncA

Sync Fitbit health data to the local cache.

Fetches data from the Fitbit API and stores it in SQLite for fast offline queries. Run this before using other fitbit_get_* tools.

Syncs incrementally: only fetches data newer than the most recent entry in each table. First sync fetches the specified number of days.

Args: data_types: What to sync. Options: "all", "heart_rate", "activity", "exercises", "sleep", "weight", "spo2", "hrv", "azm", "breathing_rate", "skin_temperature", "cardio_fitness", "food_log". Comma-separated for multiple, e.g. "sleep,hrv". Default: "all". days: Days of history for first sync (default: 30). Ignored on subsequent syncs (uses last synced date).

Returns summary of records synced per data type. Not for querying data - use fitbit_get_heart_rate, fitbit_get_activity, fitbit_get_sleep, etc. instead.

fitbit_get_activityA

Get daily activity summaries (steps, calories, active minutes, distance).

Returns data from the local cache by default. Use live=True to fetch from Fitbit API. Run fitbit_sync first to populate the cache.

Note: live=True fetches one API call per day - avoid large ranges to stay within the 150 requests/hour rate limit.

Args: start_date: Start date as "YYYY-MM-DD", "YYYY-MM", or "30d". Default: last 30 days. end_date: End date as "YYYY-MM-DD". Default: today. live: If true, fetch directly from Fitbit API instead of cache.

Returns one entry per day with steps, calories, active minutes, distance. active_minutes = very_active + fairly_active (excludes lightly active).

fitbit_trendsA

Analyse trends in cached Fitbit data.

Computes averages and totals over time from the local cache, auto-syncing if stale.

Args: data_type: What to analyse. Options: "heart_rate", "activity", "exercises", "sleep", "weight", "spo2", "hrv", "azm", "breathing_rate", "skin_temperature", "cardio_fitness", "food_log". Default: "activity". period: Aggregation period. Options: "weekly", "monthly", "quarterly". Default: "monthly". start_date: Start date as "YYYY-MM-DD" or "365d". Default: last 12 months. end_date: End date as "YYYY-MM-DD". Default: today. compare: Compare two periods. Format: "last_30d vs previous_30d", "2026-03 vs 2026-02", "2026-Q1 vs 2025-Q4". When set, period/start_date/end_date are ignored.

Returns aggregated averages per period. For activity: steps, distance, active minutes. For exercises: sessions, duration, calories. For sleep: duration, efficiency, stage breakdown. For heart_rate: resting HR min/avg/max. For weight: weight, fat%, BMI. For spo2: avg/min/max oxygen saturation. For hrv: daily and deep RMSSD. Not for raw data - use fitbit_get_* tools instead.

fitbit_get_azmA

Get daily Active Zone Minutes (AZM) - Fitbit's headline cardio metric.

AZM counts minutes spent in heart rate zones at or above Fat Burn intensity. Cardio and Peak zone minutes count double. Returns from local cache by default, auto-syncing if stale. Use live=True to bypass the cache.

Args: start_date: Start date as "YYYY-MM-DD", "YYYY-MM", or "30d". Default: last 30 days. end_date: End date as "YYYY-MM-DD". Default: today. live: If true, fetch directly from Fitbit API instead of cache.

Returns one entry per day with total_minutes plus per-zone breakdown (fat_burn_minutes, cardio_minutes, peak_minutes). Distinct from active_minutes in fitbit_get_activity, which counts wall-clock minutes regardless of intensity.

fitbit_get_breathing_rateA

Get nightly breathing rate (avg breaths per minute during sleep).

Sourced during sleep tracking. Useful as an illness/recovery signal: sustained increases of 2-3 bpm above personal baseline can indicate incipient infection or strain. Returns from cache by default, auto-syncing if stale.

Args: start_date: Start date as "YYYY-MM-DD", "YYYY-MM", or "30d". Default: last 30 days. end_date: End date as "YYYY-MM-DD". Default: today. live: If true, fetch directly from Fitbit API instead of cache.

Returns one entry per night with breaths_per_min. Typical adult range: 12-20 bpm at rest.

fitbit_get_cardio_fitnessA

Get Cardio Fitness Score (VO2 Max estimate).

Fitbit estimates VO2 Max from resting HR, HR during walks/runs, and demographics. Updates roughly weekly. Returns from cache by default, auto-syncing if stale.

Args: start_date: Start date as "YYYY-MM-DD", "YYYY-MM", or "30d". Default: last 30 days. end_date: End date as "YYYY-MM-DD". Default: today. live: If true, fetch directly from Fitbit API instead of cache.

Returns entries with vo2_max_low and vo2_max_high (mL/kg/min). Fitbit reports as a range (e.g. 39-43); when a single value is given, low and high are equal. Higher = better cardiorespiratory fitness.

fitbit_get_devicesA

List paired Fitbit devices with battery level and last sync time.

Live-only (no caching) - reflects current device state. Useful for monitoring tracker health, knowing which device produced data, and spotting sync gaps.

Returns one entry per paired device with id, type, device_version, battery (e.g. "High"), battery_level (0-100), last_sync_time, mac, and features list.

fitbit_get_exercisesA

Get exercise log entries (individual tracked activities).

Returns exercise sessions from the local cache by default. Use live=True to fetch from Fitbit API. Run fitbit_sync first to populate the cache.

Args: start_date: Start date as "YYYY-MM-DD", "YYYY-MM", or "30d". Default: last 30 days. end_date: End date as "YYYY-MM-DD". Default: today. exercise_type: Filter by activity name (case-insensitive substring match), e.g. "cycling", "walk", "run". Default: all types. live: If true, fetch directly from Fitbit API instead of cache.

Returns exercise entries with name, duration, calories, avg heart rate, distance, and source (auto-detect vs manual). Note: HR data from cycling may be unreliable (optical sensor vs handlebar grip).

fitbit_get_food_logA

Get daily food and water log summary.

Returns calories consumed and water intake (in mL) per day. Only populated if the user logs food/water in the Fitbit app. Returns from cache by default, auto-syncing if stale.

Args: start_date: Start date as "YYYY-MM-DD", "YYYY-MM", or "30d". Default: last 30 days. end_date: End date as "YYYY-MM-DD". Default: today. live: If true, fetch directly from Fitbit API. Uses one API call per day.

Returns one entry per day with calories_in and water_ml. Days with no logging are omitted.

fitbit_get_heart_rateA

Get daily resting heart rate and heart rate zones.

Returns resting HR and zone breakdown (Out of Range, Fat Burn, Cardio, Peak) from the local cache by default, auto-syncing if stale. Use live=True to bypass the cache entirely.

Args: start_date: Start date as "YYYY-MM-DD", "YYYY-MM", or "30d". Default: last 30 days. end_date: End date as "YYYY-MM-DD". Default: today. live: If true, fetch directly from Fitbit API instead of cache.

Returns one entry per day with resting_hr and zones array. Zone data: name, minutes, caloriesOut, max/min HR for each zone.

fitbit_get_hrvA

Get nightly HRV (heart rate variability) data.

Returns data from the local cache by default. Use live=True to fetch from Fitbit API. Run fitbit_sync first to populate the cache.

HRV data is sparse: only nights with on-wrist sleep tracking produce readings. Requires Fitbit Premium for access to this endpoint.

Args: start_date: Start date as "YYYY-MM-DD", "YYYY-MM", or "30d". Default: last 30 days. end_date: End date as "YYYY-MM-DD". Default: today. live: If true, fetch directly from Fitbit API instead of cache.

Returns one entry per night with daily_rmssd and deep_rmssd (ms). RMSSD = root mean square of successive RR interval differences. Higher values generally indicate better recovery and parasympathetic activity.

fitbit_get_lifetime_statsA

Get all-time activity totals and personal best records.

Live-only (no caching). Returns lifetime totals (steps, distance, floors, calories, active score) and personal bests (best day for steps, distance, floors), each with the date the record was set.

Useful for long-term context that the daily activity table can't easily answer (e.g. "what's my best step day ever?").

fitbit_get_goalsA

Get user-set activity goals for steps, distance, calories, etc.

Live-only (no caching). Use to compare actuals (from fitbit_get_activity) against the targets the user set in the Fitbit app.

Args: period: "daily" or "weekly". Default: "daily".

Returns goals dict with keys like steps, distance, calories_out, active_minutes, active_zone_minutes, floors. Weekly omits some fields.

fitbit_get_sleepA

Get nightly sleep data (duration, stages, efficiency).

Returns sleep data from the local cache by default. Use live=True to fetch from Fitbit API. Run fitbit_sync first to populate the cache.

Sleep data is sparse: only nights with watch-tracked sleep are present. Travel, off-wrist nights, or manual logs may be missing.

Args: start_date: Start date as "YYYY-MM-DD", "YYYY-MM", or "30d". Default: last 30 days. end_date: End date as "YYYY-MM-DD". Default: today. live: If true, fetch directly from Fitbit API instead of cache.

Returns one entry per night with total_minutes, efficiency, start/end times, and stage breakdown (deep, light, REM, wake minutes).

fitbit_get_spo2A

Get nightly SpO2 (blood oxygen saturation) data.

Returns data from the local cache by default. Use live=True to fetch from Fitbit API. Run fitbit_sync first to populate the cache.

SpO2 data is sparse: only nights with on-wrist sleep tracking produce readings. Requires Fitbit Premium for access to this endpoint.

Args: start_date: Start date as "YYYY-MM-DD", "YYYY-MM", or "30d". Default: last 30 days. end_date: End date as "YYYY-MM-DD". Default: today. live: If true, fetch directly from Fitbit API instead of cache.

Returns one entry per night with avg, min, max SpO2 percentage. Normal range: 95-100%. Below 90% may indicate sleep apnea.

fitbit_get_temperatureA

Get nightly skin temperature variation (degrees Celsius from personal baseline).

Recorded during sleep. Returns the relative deviation, not absolute temperature - Fitbit needs ~3 nights to establish baseline before values appear. Useful as an illness/cycle/recovery signal.

Args: start_date: Start date as "YYYY-MM-DD", "YYYY-MM", or "30d". Default: last 30 days. end_date: End date as "YYYY-MM-DD". Default: today. live: If true, fetch directly from Fitbit API instead of cache.

Returns one entry per night with nightly_relative (degrees C, can be negative) and log_type (e.g. "dermal").

fitbit_get_weightA

Get weight log entries (weight, BMI, body fat percentage).

Returns data from the local cache by default. Use live=True to fetch from Fitbit API. Run fitbit_sync first to populate the cache.

Weight data is sparse: only days with weigh-in entries are present.

Args: start_date: Start date as "YYYY-MM-DD", "YYYY-MM", or "30d". Default: last 30 days. end_date: End date as "YYYY-MM-DD". Default: today. live: If true, fetch directly from Fitbit API instead of cache.
