Asterwise

KP Chart

asterwise_get_kp_chart

Read-onlyIdempotent

Builds a KP natal chart with sub-lords on grahas and twelve cusps from BirthData using the KP ayanamsa in the response.

WORKFLOW: BEFORE: RECOMMENDED — cross-check birth record before trusting sub-lords. AFTER: asterwise_get_kp_significators — house-level significator chains.

INPUT CONTRACT: ayanamsa is accepted but ignored (always KP). Birth time is required: this tool has no sunrise fallback. If the user doesn't know it, say so rather than guessing; never pass time='00:00' for unknown.

DO NOT CONFUSE WITH: asterwise_get_natal_chart — classical bundle without KP sub-lords. asterwise_get_kp_ruling_planets — rulers at the moment of judgment (now or a given time), not natal cusps.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already carry readOnly/idempotent safety, but the description adds real behavioral context annotations cannot: ayanamsa is accepted but ignored, no sunrise fallback, and a warning never to pass 00:00 for unknown time. That is the load-bearing disclosure. It doesn't describe the response shape, but an output schema exists.

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, then labelled WORKFLOW / INPUT CONTRACT / DO NOT CONFUSE blocks. Every line earns its place; no filler.

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?

For a read-only chart builder with an output schema and fully documented nested params, the description covers everything an agent needs: how to call it, what it ignores, what to do if birth time is unknown, and where to route before and after.

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 coverage is 100% and nested, so the schema already documents birth fields, enums, defaults and ranges. The description adds one genuine constraint beyond the schema (ayanamsa ignored) plus the birth-time requirement, which the schema itself repeats. Baseline 3 is appropriate since the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 ('Builds') and resource ('KP natal chart with sub-lords on grahas and twelve cusps') and pins the ayanamsa. It names two siblings it is not (natal_chart, kp_ruling_planets), so an agent can distinguish it without opening schemas.

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?

Explicit BEFORE (cross-check birth record) and AFTER (kp_significators) routing, plus a DO NOT CONFUSE block naming the alternative tools and the condition that selects each. Nothing is left to inference.

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