Kundlit Vedic Astrology

Birth details (nakshatra, rashi, lagna, navamsa lagna)

get_birth_details
Read-onlyIdempotent

Returns just the identity fields of a Vedic birth chart: the Moon's janma nakshatra (birth star) with its 1-27 number and pada, the janma rashi (moon sign) with its classical lord and the house it occupies, the lagna (ascendant) with degree in sign, nakshatra, pada and lord, and the navamsa (D9) lagna with its lord. Use this for the common single questions -- 'what is my nakshatra / rashi / lagna' -- and to fetch janma_nakshatra and janma_rashi values that get_muhurta_timings accepts. It returns NO planet table, no yogas and no dasha: for those call get_janam_kundali (whole chart) or get_dasha_periods (dasha only). Read-only deterministic computation (Swiss Ephemeris, Lahiri ayanamsa, whole-sign houses); no writes, no auth. Rate limits are counted per server instance: at least 30 requests/min/IP on this endpoint, plus a shared engine budget of at least 60/min/IP across all birth-chart tools.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
placeNoPlace as free text, "City, State, Country" -- e.g. "Jaipur, Rajasthan, India". Preferred input: it is geocoded to coordinates and an IANA timezone server-side, and any city worldwide works. Omit only if you pass latitude + longitude + timezone instead.
latitudeNoLatitude in decimal degrees, -90 to 90, north positive (Delhi = 28.6139). Use only when `place` is omitted, and then longitude and timezone are required too.
timezoneNoIANA timezone name, e.g. "Asia/Kolkata" or "America/New_York" (never an offset like "+05:30"). Required when latitude/longitude are used; ignored when `place` is given.
longitudeNoLongitude in decimal degrees, -180 to 180, east positive (Delhi = 77.2090). Use only when `place` is omitted.
birth_dateYesBirth date in the Gregorian calendar as YYYY-MM-DD, e.g. 1992-03-14. Years 1200-2400 only, and it must be a real calendar date (2023-02-29 is rejected).
birth_timeYesBirth time on the local clock at the birth place, HH:MM in 24-hour format (00:00-23:59), e.g. 06:45 or 18:20. Not UTC. Required and not defaulted: the ascendant moves about one degree every four minutes, so a guessed time gives a guessed chart.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint. The description adds valuable context: it is a deterministic computation using Swiss Ephemeris, Lahiri ayanamsa, whole-sign houses; no writes, no auth. Rate limits are provided: at least 30 req/min/IP on this endpoint, plus a shared engine budget of at least 60/min/IP. No contradictions with annotations.

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 well-structured with a clear order: what it returns, use cases, exclusions, technical details, and rate limits. It is front-loaded with the most important information. However, it is somewhat verbose for a tool; minor trimming could improve conciseness.

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 no output schema, the description compensates by detailing output fields (nakshatra with number and pada, rashi with lord and house, lagna with degree, etc.). It also covers computational method, auth, and rate limits. The description is complete for a tool of this complexity.

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% with detailed descriptions for all 6 parameters. The description does not add significant parameter-level meaning beyond what the schema provides, though it does clarify output fields. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 clearly states it returns 'just the identity fields of a Vedic birth chart' and lists them (nakshatra, rashi, lagna, navamsa lagna). It is distinct from siblings such as get_janam_kundali and get_dasha_periods by explicitly stating what it does not return.

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 explicitly tells when to use this tool: 'for the common single questions -- what is my nakshatra / rashi / lagna' and to fetch values for get_muhurta_timings. It also tells when not to use it by stating it returns NO planet table, yogas, or dasha, and directs to alternatives.

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

A4.7/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct astrological calculation or domain: dosha checks, birth charts, compatibility, muhurta, panchang, numerology, transits, and Jaimini layer. Even similar tools (e.g., get_panchang vs get_muhurta_timings) are explicitly differentiated in their descriptions, and cross-references tell the agent which to use for which question.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: 'get_' for data retrieval and 'check_' for yes/no dosha assessments. No camelCase or mixed conventions. The naming is predictable and readable.

Tool Count4/5

At 17 tools, the set is slightly above the ideal 15-tool ceiling, but it is well-scoped for the breadth of Vedic astrology: each tool earns its place covering a distinct sub-domain. The count feels justified rather than bloated.

Completeness5/5

The surface covers the full lifecycle of a birth chart (details, full kundli, dasha), doshas (manglik, kaal sarp, sade sati), compatibility (kundli match), event planning (muhurta, panchang, year events, eclipses), numerology (personal, mobile, name), and advanced layers (upapada, transits). No obvious gaps or dead ends.
