Tools & capabilities
Vaultbeat Apple Health tools 11
vaultbeat_doctorDiagnose this install end to end, report which data types have no data and the likely reasons, and show the pairing state. The tool to call before telling anyone their data is missing.get_strength_logStrength sessions: exercises, sets × reps, volume per session.get_food_logMeals and items per day, with optional kcal / protein / fat / carbs. The 14 newest days that have a log by default (not a calendar fortnight), or a `since` / `until` window.get_workoutsWorkouts: type, duration, calories, distance.get_user_profileSex, age, date of birth and height. Needs Vaultbeat for iOS 1.2.9 or later.get_intradaySamples within a day, for HRV: one row per hour that has samples (`granularity="hourly"`) or one per sample (`"raw"`). About 8–14 rows a day; `limit` counts rows.log_food_appendAdd to a day. Cannot delete anything — the safe default when a day may already have entries.log_food_entryReplace that whole day** with what is passed, and report exactly what was removed.log_weight_entryRecord a weigh-in, keeping that day's body composition.log_symptomRecord one symptom the person reports, as structured fields a later read can match against sleep, food and heart rate.update_symptomChange a reported symptom (usually its end time), or erase one logged by mistake.
