Dashakoot

asterwise_get_dashakoot
Read-onlyIdempotent

Computes the ten-koota Dashakoot grid for two charts and converts it to a ten-point score with percentage. Also returns boolean dosha flags and supplementary diagnostics.

WORKFLOW: BEFORE: RECOMMENDED — asterwise_get_natal_chart for each native — context before regional scoring. AFTER: asterwise_get_papasamyam — optional malefic differential.

INPUT CONTRACT: Two BirthData objects per global contract.

DO NOT CONFUSE WITH: asterwise_get_compatibility — North Indian 36-point Ashtakoota with different breakdown keys. asterwise_get_porutham — Tamil ten-porutham passed counts, not Dashakoot floats.

  4. First observed

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive and closed-world, so safety is covered. The description adds genuine value beyond that: it discloses the return payload shape (score, percentage, boolean dosha flags, diagnostics) and the workflow ordering, though error behavior is deferred to an external docs link rather than stated inline.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Front-loaded purpose sentence followed by clearly labeled WORKFLOW, INPUT CONTRACT, and DO NOT CONFUSE WITH blocks. Every line adds routing or contract information; nothing is redundant padding.

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?

With an output schema present, return values need not be spelled out, yet the description still summarizes them. Combined with workflow ordering, sibling disambiguation, and the input contract, an agent has everything needed to select and call this tool correctly.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100% and both nested BirthData objects document every field, so the schema carries the load. The description only adds 'Two BirthData objects per global contract,' which does not extend meaning beyond what the schema already says. Baseline 3 applies.

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 ('Computes the ten-koota Dashakoot grid for two charts'), plus the transformation ('converts it to a ten-point score with percentage') and secondary returns. It explicitly distinguishes itself from two similar-sounding siblings (Ashtakoota 36-point compatibility, Tamil ten-porutham) by naming their differing breakdown keys.

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 (get_natal_chart, marked RECOMMENDED) and AFTER (get_papasamyam, optional) workflow. The DO-NOT-CONFUSE-WITH block names two alternatives and the condition that separates them, leaving nothing to inference.

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