Asterwise

Dashakoot

asterwise_get_dashakoot

Read-onlyIdempotent

Computes the ten-koota Dashakoot grid for two charts, converts it to a ten-point score with percentage, and exposes boolean dosha flags plus 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.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds meaningful behavioral context beyond those hints by specifying the output shape — score, percentage, boolean dosha flags, and supplementary diagnostics — and by directing the agent to the full output/error contract.

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?

The description is compact despite its information density. The first sentence delivers the core purpose, and the WORKFLOW, INPUT CONTRACT, and DO NOT CONFUSE WITH sections each carry decision-relevant guidance. The documentation link provides an escape hatch without bloating the description.

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?

Given the output schema exists and the annotations cover safety, the description fills the remaining gaps: workflow ordering, sibling differentiation, input contract shape, and a link to the full output/error contract. An agent has everything needed to decide on and invoke 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%, so the input schema already documents person1, person2, and response_format thoroughly, including defaults, formats, and constraints. The description's reference to 'Two BirthData objects per global contract' reinforces the core requirement but does not materially expand on what the schema already provides.

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?

The description opens with a specific verb and resource: it computes the ten-koota Dashakoot grid, converts it to a ten-point score with percentage, and exposes boolean dosha flags plus diagnostics. It also explicitly distinguishes itself from asterwise_get_compatibility and asterwise_get_porutham, so an agent can tell it apart from nearby siblings.

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?

The WORKFLOW section states a recommended prerequisite (asterwise_get_natal_chart) and an optional follow-up (asterwise_get_papasamyam), giving explicit temporal context. The DO NOT CONFUSE WITH section names concrete alternatives and the exact reason they are not interchangeable, leaving little ambiguity about when this tool is appropriate.

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

A3.9/5.0

Disambiguation3/5

Many tools are well-differentiated by explicit 'DO NOT CONFUSE WITH' notes, but the sheer number of near-neighbor pairs (e.g., crystal vs gemstone recommendations, natal chart variants, dasha systems, compatibility systems, tarot draw variants) creates real selection risk. The descriptions mitigate overlap, but an agent browsing 103 tools will struggle to pick the right one.

Naming Consistency5/5

Every tool follows the asterwise_get_* or asterwise_draw_* prefix convention with a clear noun phrase (e.g., asterwise_get_natal_chart, asterwise_draw_tarot_cards). The two verbs 'get' and 'draw' are semantically appropriate, and there are no camelCase or mixed-style names.

Tool Count1/5

103 tools is far beyond a manageable MCP surface. While the domain is broad (Vedic astrology, Western astrology, numerology, tarot, crystals, dream symbols), the server bundles multiple distinct domains into one namespace, making it nearly impossible for an agent to discover the right tool efficiently.

Completeness4/5

The surface is impressively comprehensive across astrology, numerology, tarot, and remedies, with deep coverage of dasha systems, compatibility frameworks, and chart types. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no tarot interpretation endpoint, no batch operations, no update/delete since it's read-only data), but for a reference/prediction API the coverage is strong.
