Crystals MCP Server by RoxyAPI

Birthstones by month - Birthstone lookup API

get_crystals_birthstone_month
Read-only

Get the traditional birthstone crystals for a given birth month. Returns summary data for each crystal. Use the /crystals/{id} detail endpoint for full healing properties. Based on GIA-authoritative birthstone assignments. Perfect for birthday gift recommendations, personalized crystal suggestions, and birthstone jewelry applications.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
langNoResponse 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
monthYesBirth month as a number from 1 (January) to 12 (December).
compactNoSet 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

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, covering safety. The description adds that it returns summary data (not full properties) and that it's based on GIA assignments, which are behavioral clarifications beyond the annotations. No contradictions, but no deep behavioral details like rate limits or pagination.

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?

Three concise sentences: purpose, alternative, and use cases. The most critical information (what it does) is front-loaded, with no redundant phrasing. It earns each word.

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?

For a read-only lookup with a well-defined input schema and an output schema present, the description adequately explains the tool's scope, return type (summary), and an alternative for more detail. It lacks nothing essential for an agent to decide to use it.

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 coverage is 100%, so all three parameters (lang, month, compact) have detailed descriptions. The description does not add parameter-specific semantics beyond what the schema provides, so it relies on the schema, which is acceptable given high coverage.

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 verb (get), the resource (traditional birthstone crystals for a birth month), and what it returns (summary data). It differentiates from sibling tools by specifying the birth-month scope and noting GIA authority, which distinguishes it from other crystal attributes like chakra or color.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description mentions an alternative (the /crystals/{id} detail endpoint) for full healing properties, providing a clear when-to-use-other condition. It also suggests use cases (birthday gifts, jewelry) but does not explicitly contrast with other sibling filters like chakra or element, so it's clear but not exhaustive.

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