Crystals by Planet

asterwise_get_crystal_by_planet
Read-onlyIdempotent

Returns all crystals associated with a specific Vedic planet. Results are sorted with primary Navaratna gems first, then Uparatna substitutes. Only Navaratna and Uparatna Vedic assignments are returned — crystals with no Vedic planetary correspondence are excluded.

WORKFLOW: BEFORE: RECOMMENDED — asterwise_get_natal_chart — identify the planet needing remediation. AFTER: asterwise_get_gemstone_recommendations — for chart-specific gem safety assessment.

INPUT CONTRACT: planet: One of Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu.

DO NOT CONFUSE WITH: asterwise_get_gemstone_recommendations — natal chart house-lordship gem recommendation with contraindications; use for actual gem prescription, not just listing. asterwise_get_crystals — all 54 crystals including Western-only ones.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover readOnly/idempotent/closed-world safety, so the description adds non-obvious behavior: results are sorted Navaratna-first then Uparatna, and crystals with no Vedic correspondence are excluded. That result-set composition and ordering context is genuinely useful and not derivable from structured fields.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Front-loaded with the core behavior, then cleanly sectioned into WORKFLOW, INPUT CONTRACT, and DO NOT CONFUSE WITH. Slightly verbose with the docs link, but every block carries routing or behavioral value.

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?

An output schema exists, so return-value explanation is unnecessary. Between the purpose, workflow, input contract, and sibling disambiguation, nothing an agent needs to select or call this tool correctly is missing.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% (baseline 3), but the INPUT CONTRACT enumerates the exact allowed planet values (Sun through Ketu), adding precision beyond the schema's loose 'e.g. Venus or Saturn' example. It also implicitly constrains the parameter to the nine Vedic planets.

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 a specific verb and resource ('Returns all crystals associated with a specific Vedic planet') and immediately scopes the result set (Navaratna/Uparatna only). The DO NOT CONFUSE WITH section explicitly differentiates it from get_crystals and get_gemstone_recommendations, so an agent can route correctly without opening a schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Provides an explicit BEFORE/AFTER workflow (get_natal_chart to identify the planet, then get_gemstone_recommendations for safety assessment) plus named alternatives with the condition that selects each. When-to-use and when-to-use-something-else are both stated.

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