Asterwise

Porutham

asterwise_get_porutham

Read-onlyIdempotent

Runs the Tamil ten-porutham checklist (South Indian rules) for two charts and counts passes out of ten. Also returns Rajju and Vedha condition booleans and per-porutham evidence objects.

WORKFLOW: BEFORE: RECOMMENDED — asterwise_get_natal_chart per native. AFTER: asterwise_get_thirumana_porutham — extended twelve-koota read if needed.

INPUT CONTRACT: Two BirthData objects per global contract.

DO NOT CONFUSE WITH: asterwise_get_thirumana_porutham — twelve poruthams including Nadi and Varna, not ten. asterwise_get_dashakoot — South Indian float scoring, not Tamil pass grid.

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, so the description focuses on what the agent can't get from them: the return contents (pass count, Rajju and Vedha booleans, per-porutham evidence objects) and an external full output/error contract. It stops short of stating anything about error behavior itself, deferring entirely to the docs URL.

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 with the core operation, then layered labeled blocks (WORKFLOW, INPUT CONTRACT, DO NOT CONFUSE, docs link). No filler sentences; every line adds routing or contract information.

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?

Output schema exists and the description summarizes the returns (count, booleans, evidence objects), the input contract is stated, sibling distinctions are covered, and error/output specifics are delegated to a documented URL. Complete for a 3-param read-only tool.

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 the nested BirthData properties are thoroughly documented, so the schema carries the burden. The description only adds the pointer that two BirthData objects follow the 'global contract', which is a useful cross-reference but not new per-parameter meaning.

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 (runs), the exact technique (Tamil ten-porutham checklist, South Indian rules), the inputs (two charts) and the output shape (pass count out of ten). The DO NOT CONFUSE block explicitly separates it from asterwise_get_thirumana_porutham and asterwise_get_dashakoot.

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?

Gives an explicit BEFORE/AFTER workflow naming the exact prerequisite tool and the logical follow-up tool, plus exclusion rules for the two nearest siblings. Nothing about selection 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.
