Varshaphal Saham

asterwise_get_varshaphal_saham
Read-onlyIdempotent

Computes all 10 Tajika Saham (sensitive points) for a Varshaphal solar return chart. Sahams are the Tajika equivalent of Arabic Parts — mathematically derived zodiac points that focus the annual horoscope on specific life themes.

WORKFLOW: BEFORE: RECOMMENDED — asterwise_get_varshaphal — understand the base solar return chart (year lord, Muntha, Varsha Ascendant) before interpreting Saham lords. The Saham is meaningless without knowing which house it occupies from the Varsha Ascendant. AFTER: asterwise_get_varshaphal_harsha_bala — assess the Saham lord's positional happiness score to determine ease or difficulty of manifestation.

INPUT CONTRACT: Same as asterwise_get_varshaphal — BirthData plus target_year. target_year (required int): The Gregorian calendar year of the solar return. Not age — the civil year (e.g. 2026). Feeding age instead of year silently produces the wrong return. time (required): Solar return Ascendant is time-sensitive. Accurate birth time is required for reliable Saham interpretation.

DO NOT CONFUSE WITH: asterwise_get_varshaphal — returns the full base solar return chart including Muntha, year lord, and planet positions; Saham points are not included there. asterwise_get_varshaphal_harsha_bala — scores planet positional happiness; this tool computes zodiac points, not planet positions. asterwise_get_gemstone_recommendations — birthchart gemstone recommendations, unrelated to Tajika Saham.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior, and the description adds operationally relevant caveats like time-sensitivity and the silent-wrong-year risk. It could mention the output/error contract in more detail, but the provided link and warning cover the key behavior.

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?

The description is long but structured with helpful sections (WORKFLOW, INPUT CONTRACT, DO NOT CONFUSE WITH) and every sentence adds functional guidance. Slight verbosity is justified by the complexity of the astrological tool.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description gives a thorough workflow and links to the full output/error contract, but the provided tool definition lacks an explicit output schema. Given the nested input and response_format options, a concrete output example or schema would make it fully complete.

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

Parameters5/5

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

The input schema has 100% description coverage for all parameters, including nested fields. The description reinforces semantics by clarifying that target_year is the civil year, not age, and that accurate birth time is required.

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 explicitly states it computes all 10 Tajika Saham for a Varshaphal solar return chart, which is a specific resource and action. It also names three sibling tools to avoid confusion, making the purpose unmistakable.

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 description provides a clear before/after workflow, an input contract, and a 'DO NOT CONFUSE WITH' section that explicitly distinguishes this tool from related ones. It specifies when to use it versus alternatives such as asterwise_get_varshaphal and asterwise_get_varshaphal_harsha_bala.

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