Planetary transits (gochar) now or on a date

get_transits
Read-onlyIdempotent

Returns where the nine grahas actually are at a moment in time (gochar / transit chart), for a place: each graha's sidereal sign, degree within the sign, nakshatra, pada, retrograde flag, dignity and house from the transit ascendant, plus the transit lagna itself. Defaults to right now at that place. Pass the optional natal birth details and the result ALSO counts each transiting graha's whole-sign house from the natal Moon (chandra lagna) -- the frame classical gochar is read in. Use this for 'where is Saturn/Jupiter right now' and 'what is transiting my moon sign' questions. It answers for ONE moment only and returns no ingress, retrograde-station or sign-change dates -- do not scan it across many dates to find them. For the birth chart itself use get_janam_kundali; for dated Saturn phases use get_sade_sati, the one tool here that returns transit date ranges. 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 chart tools -- and a call carrying natal costs TWO of those, since it computes the natal chart as well. It returns COMPUTED POSITIONS ONLY -- no forecast, horoscope or interpretation text is produced.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
dateNoDate of the transit chart, YYYY-MM-DD, years 1200-2400. Omit for today at the given place. A past or future date gives the positions for that single day.
timeNoLocal clock time of the transit chart, HH:MM 24-hour (00:00-23:59). Omit for the current time at the given place. It matters most for the Moon (about 13 degrees a day) and for the transit lagna (a full sign every two hours); the slow grahas barely move within a day.
natalNoOptional birth details of the person the transits are being read for: birth_date, birth_time and a place (or latitude + longitude + timezone). Supply them to add the gochar_from_natal_moon block. Omit and only the sky positions are returned.
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.

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Description explains it is read-only deterministic computation using Swiss Ephemeris, Lahiri ayanamsa, whole-sign houses, with no writes or auth. It also discloses rate limits (30 req/min/IP per endpoint and shared engine budget). Annotations already indicate safe operations; description adds specific context.

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?

Description is front-loaded with core purpose, then expands on details, use cases, limitations, and technical aspects. Every sentence provides useful information without redundancy.

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?

Despite no output schema, the description lists what is returned (positions for each graha, transit lagna, optional natal moon houses) and what is not (forecast, interpretation). It covers all necessary context for an agent to select and invoke correctly.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% with good descriptions. The tool description adds value by explaining the effect of providing the optional 'natal' parameter (adds houses from natal moon) and why time matters (Moon moves ~13 deg/day, lagna changes quickly). This goes beyond basic schema info.

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 the tool returns transit positions (gochar) for nine grahas at a specific moment, including details like sign, degree, nakshatra, etc. It distinguishes itself from siblings by explicitly naming get_janam_kundali for birth charts and get_sade_sati for transit date ranges.

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?

Explicitly states when to use: for 'where is Saturn/Jupiter right now' and 'what is transiting my moon sign'. Also warns against scanning across dates because it returns only one moment. Names alternative tools for related tasks.

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.
