List the three doshas - Dosha catalogue API

get_ayurveda_doshas

Read-only

Return vata, pitta and kapha with the qualities, seats and five sub-doshas each carries, and the three states the seasonal cycle moves them through. Every quality is one of the twenty gunas and every state is described as a position and a quality rather than as a complaint, which is what lets the catalogue join to the tastes and qualities endpoints without a lookup table in between. Each entry carries the verse it comes from, and the second primary text is recorded where it reads the list differently.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`lang`	No	Response language (BCP 47). Supported: en, tr, de, es, hi, pt, fr, ru, zh-Hans, zh-Hant. Defaults to en. Coverage varies by domain, and a field with no translation in the requested language returns English.	en
`limit`	No	Maximum items to return per page. Range: 1-3, default 3.
`offset`	No	Number of items to skip for pagination. Default 0.
`compact`	No	Set true for the same data in a compact shape: arrays of same-shaped objects arrive columnar as {"__cols":[names],"__rows":[[values]]}. Lossless, typically 40 to 52 percent fewer tokens.

TDQS

A3.7/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, covering the safety profile. The description adds value by explaining the data model (gunas, states as positions/qualities) and its integration with other endpoints, but it does not describe pagination behavior, rate limits, or response format. It does not contradict 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 three sentences, with the main purpose front-loaded. Each sentence provides meaningful context: the first states what is returned, the second explains the data structure's design rationale, and the third notes verse provenance. It is efficient with no wasted words.

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?

Given the tool's simple list nature, the output schema exists, and all parameters are documented, the description covers the data semantics thoroughly. It explains the content (doshas, gunas, states, verses) and the integration design. The only missing piece is explicit usage guidance, which is covered under that dimension. Overall, it is complete for a catalogue endpoint.

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?

All parameters (lang, limit, offset, compact) have full descriptions in the schema (100% coverage). The description adds nothing about parameters beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 applies since the schema carries the heavy lifting.

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 vata, pitta, and kapha with their qualities, seats, sub-doshas, and states. This is a specific verb-resource pairing that distinguishes it from the ID-based sibling (get_ayurveda_doshas_id) by scope. The title 'Dosha catalogue API' reinforces the list nature.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description does not explicitly say when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_ayurveda_doshas_id. However, it implies the catalogue scope by returning all three doshas, and the sibling names make the distinction obvious. It lacks explicit exclusions or alternative recommendations, but the context is sufficient for a reasonable agent.

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