Upapada lagna and arudha padas (Jaimini)

get_upapada_arudha
Read-onlyIdempotent

Returns the Jaimini layer of one birth chart: the upapada lagna (UL, the classical marriage anchor) with its sign, lord and cited reading, all twelve arudha padas (A1-A12) with sign and life domain, the eight charakarakas (Atmakaraka, Amatyakaraka and the rest) with the graha holding each, and the karakamsha lagna. The result also lists the classical texts the upapada reading is cited from. Use this only when Jaimini terms are asked for by name -- upapada, arudha, charakaraka, karakamsha -- or for marriage questions read the Jaimini way. The Parashari layer (grahas, houses, dasha, yogas) is in get_janam_kundali; get_kundli_match is the tool for scoring two charts against each other. Read-only deterministic computation (Swiss Ephemeris, Lahiri ayanamsa); 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. If the engine cannot attach the Jaimini layer the result comes back with partial: true rather than with invented values.

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, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint. The description adds further transparency: 'Read-only deterministic computation (Swiss Ephemeris, Lahiri ayanamsa); no writes, no auth.' It also explains rate limits and partial result behavior ('partial: true rather than with invented values'), which are critical for agent decision-making.

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 the most important information first. It is somewhat lengthy but each sentence adds value, covering purpose, usage, behavior, and fallback. It is not overly verbose for the complexity of the tool.

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 tool's complexity (Jaimini layer, multiple return components) and the absence of an output schema, the description thoroughly explains what is returned, including fallback behavior. It also covers rate limits and usage context, making it complete for an agent to invoke correctly.

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?

The input schema has 100% coverage, with each parameter having a clear description. The tool description does not add additional parameter semantics beyond the schema, so a 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 starts by specifying exactly what the tool returns: upapada lagna, twelve arudha padas, eight charakarakas, and karakamsha lagna. It explicitly distinguishes this Jaimini layer from Parashari tools (get_janam_kundali, get_kundli_match), making the purpose clear and differentiating it from siblings.

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 explicit guidance: 'Use this only when Jaimini terms are asked for by name... or for marriage questions read the Jaimini way.' It names alternatives (get_janam_kundali, get_kundli_match) and states when not to use this tool, covering both conditions and exclusions.

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.
