Implementation Reference

  • The list_workouts function decorated with @mcp.tool. It calls _connectapi with the LIST_WORKOUTS_ENDPOINT and returns the result wrapped in a 'workouts' key.
    @mcp.tool
    def list_workouts() -> dict:
        workouts = _connectapi(LIST_WORKOUTS_ENDPOINT)
        return {"workouts": workouts}
  • The _connectapi helper function that list_workouts relies on. It ensures Garmin authentication and then calls garth.connectapi to make the actual HTTP GET request to the endpoint.
    def _connectapi(endpoint: str, method: str = "GET", **kwargs) -> dict:
        _ensure_authenticated()
        return garth.connectapi(endpoint, method=method, **kwargs)
  • The _ensure_authenticated helper function that list_workouts depends on via _connectapi. It handles Garmin login using environment variables (GARMIN_EMAIL, GARMIN_PASSWORD).
    def _ensure_authenticated() -> None:
        global _AUTH_READY
    
        if _AUTH_READY:
            return
    
        with _AUTH_LOCK:
            if _AUTH_READY:
                return
    
            email = os.environ.get("GARMIN_EMAIL")
            password = os.environ.get("GARMIN_PASSWORD")
            if email or password:
                if not (email and password):
                    raise RuntimeError(
                        "Garmin credentials are incomplete. Set both GARMIN_EMAIL and GARMIN_PASSWORD."
                    )
                try:
                    garth.login(email, password)
                except Exception as exc:
                    raise RuntimeError(
                        "Failed to authenticate with Garmin using GARMIN_EMAIL and GARMIN_PASSWORD."
                    ) from exc
    
                _AUTH_READY = True
                return
    
            raise RuntimeError(
                "Garmin credentials are required for this tool. Set GARMIN_EMAIL and GARMIN_PASSWORD."
            )
  • The @mcp.tool decorator registers list_workouts as a tool with the FastMCP server instance.
    @mcp.tool
  • The LIST_WORKOUTS_ENDPOINT constant pointing to Garmin's API endpoint for listing workouts.
    LIST_WORKOUTS_ENDPOINT = "/workout-service/workouts"
Behavior1/5

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

Tool has no description.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness1/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Tool has no description.

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

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Tool has no description.

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

Parameters1/5

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

Tool has no description.

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

Purpose1/5

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

Tool has no description.

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

Usage Guidelines1/5

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

Tool has no description.

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