Pancha Pakshi (five-bird) timing

get_pancha_pakshi
Read-onlyIdempotent

Returns a PERSONAL timing schedule under Tamil Pancha Pakshi Shastra: it resolves the person's birth bird (Vulture, Owl, Crow, Cock or Peacock) from their birth details, then returns that day's ten yaamas -- five by day, five by night -- each with the acting bird and activity and a list of sub-periods carrying a 1-10 strength rating plus that bird's relation (friend / same / enemy) to the person's own bird. Use this when the user wants timings tuned to THEM. get_muhurta_timings and get_panchang give the same day's windows for everyone at that place with no birth details; this system is independent of them and the two can disagree. Read-only deterministic computation (Swiss Ephemeris, Lahiri ayanamsa for the birth-bird nakshatra); no writes, no auth, at least 30 requests/min/IP per server instance, plus a shared engine budget of at least 60/min/IP across all engine-backed tools. Yaama boundaries follow the location's actual sunrise and sunset, so the schedule is place-specific.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
dateNoDay to schedule, YYYY-MM-DD, years 1200-2400. Omit for today at the given place. The birth fields identify the person; this field picks the day being planned.
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?

The description adds significant context beyond annotations: it's a deterministic computation using Swiss Ephemeris and Lahiri ayanamsa, no writes, no auth, and specifies rate limits (30/min/IP per server instance, 60/min/IP shared). It also explains that yaama boundaries follow actual sunrise/sunset, making it place-specific. 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 a single paragraph that front-loads the purpose and then provides behavioral details. It is well-structured and not overly verbose, though it could be slightly more concise by breaking into sentences. Still, it earns points for efficiency.

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 complexity (7 parameters, no output schema), the description is highly complete. It explains the output structure (yaamas, sub-periods with strength and relation), rate limits, dependency on birth details, and place-specific nature. No gaps.

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% and each parameter already has a clear description. The tool description adds a general overview but does not provide new semantics beyond what the schema already offers. Baseline score of 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 a PERSONAL timing schedule under Tamil Pancha Pakshi Shastra' and specifies the verb 'Returns' and the resource. It distinguishes from siblings by noting that get_muhurta_timings and get_panchang give the same day's windows for everyone without birth details, making the purpose unambiguous.

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 says 'Use this when the user wants timings tuned to THEM' and compares with sibling tools, explaining that this system is independent and the two can disagree. This provides clear guidance on when to use this tool versus 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.
