## Description

Get the user's weight logs with **computed BMI**, their body-fat percentage logs, and their current height. Raw logs, so there is no date cap; at most 1000 weigh-ins per call, with `truncated` set when there were more. Example: startDate="2026-08-01", endDate="2026-08-25" → `weightLogs: [{ time, weightKg: 74.2, weightLb: 163.6, bmi: 22.9, notes }]`, `bodyFatLogs: [{ time, percentage }]`, and `height: { heightCm, heightIn, measuredAt }`. `weightLogs` and `bodyFatLogs` are newest first. Two things to tell the user rather than guess: the API has **no BMI field**, so BMI is computed here as kg ÷ height in m² and is `null` when no height is on record. `height` is not measured over the requested range at all — it is the most recent height found in a ten-year lookback, capped at one page, so check `measuredAt` before calling it current: it can be years old, and when nothing turns up `bmiComputable` is `false` and every `bmi` is `null`. Body fat is measured separately from weight, so a weigh-in on a scale without body composition appears in `weightLogs` with no matching `bodyFatLogs` entry. Set includeBodyFat=false to skip the body-fat request entirely — `bodyFatLogs` then comes back empty because it was never asked for, which is not the same as the user having no body-fat data. [See the documentation](https://developers.google.com/health/reference/rest/v4/users.dataTypes.dataPoints/list)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `startDate` | `string` | No | Start date in YYYY-MM-DD format (e.g. 2026-08-24), in the user's own timezone. Defaults to today in UTC, which can be a day off from the user's local date late at night — pass an explicit date when the exact day matters. |
| `endDate` | `string` | No | End date in YYYY-MM-DD format, inclusive. Defaults to Start Date, i.e. a single day. For a whole week, set Start Date to the Monday and End Date to the Sunday. |
| `includeBodyFat` | `boolean` | No | Include body-fat percentage logs. Defaults to true. |
| `fields` | `string[]` | No | Field names to keep on each weight log. Defaults to a compact set: time, weightKg, weightLb, bmi. Available: time, utcOffset, weightGrams, weightKg, weightLb, bmi, notes. |

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
