Shortcuts & App Intents

Seven actions registered in source

Refresh Mac Health Context and Get Mac Context Refresh Status are proposed, not implemented or development-available. Track issue #173; availability requires implementation, qualification, and an exact Apple release note.

Actions

export yesterday, one date, a range, or the last N days;
get a health summary or the last export status;
turn scheduling on or off.

Proposed Mac context actions (not available)

The requested Refresh Mac Health Context action would use an explicit profile/date scope, authenticated compatible peers, and durable context acquisition without export files or file-export quota. Get Mac Context Refresh Status would report pending/completed/failed status with a recoverable job identity. These are requirements, not supported action names, parameters, or results in the current app.

Computer-side MCP refresh does not satisfy an iOS personal automation. Do not use ordinary Export Shortcuts as a substitute: they retain iPhone-folder semantics. No automation can be promised to wake a sleeping Mac or bypass protected HealthKit data. Physical-iPhone automation QA after wake is still required before this feature can be qualified.

The four export actions accept an optional Profile. An unknown name fails without fallback. Ordinary Shortcuts write to the iPhone folder and do not silently switch to API Endpoint or Connected Mac.

Allowing locked execution does not unlock HealthKit. Health.md preserves the request and shows Health Export Needs Attention.
