fitbit_get_heart_rate

Retrieve daily resting heart rate and heart rate zone breakdown from Fitbit. Optionally fetch live data directly from the API or use cached data with auto-sync.

Instructions

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.

Behavior4/5

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

Discloses caching behavior and auto-sync, plus live mode. No contradictory annotations. Lacks details on auth or rate limits, but adequate for a read 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?

Concise with clear summary paragraph, parameter list, and return description. Front-loaded main functionality.

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 output schema exists, description adequately explains return structure and covers caching behavior and date range usage. Complete for this tool's complexity.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Adds full semantic meaning for all 3 parameters (date formats, defaults, live meaning) beyond the bare schema (0% coverage).

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 specific verb+resource ('Get daily resting heart rate and heart rate zones') and distinguishes from siblings by specifying heart rate data.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Provides clear guidance on default cached mode vs live mode usage, but does not explicitly mention when not to use or alternatives.

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