Annual afflictions - Tai Sui, San Sha and Five Yellow API

get_feng_shui_afflictions_year

Read-only

Return the four annual feng shui afflictions for a solar year with their exact positions: Tai Sui on the mountain of the year branch, Sui Po on the mountain opposite, the Three Killings across the cardinal span opposite the elemental frame of the year, and the Five Yellow wherever it lands on the annual star plate. Positions come with degree ranges rather than only sector names, because Tai Sui occupies 15 degrees and the neighbouring mountains of the same sector are unaffected. All four move at Li Chun in early February, not at Lunar New Year, and the changeover date is returned. Built for renovation planning, date selection and yearly guidance features.

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
`year`	Yes	Solar year, 1900 to 2100. The year runs from Li Chun to Li Chun, so a date in January belongs to the previous year here.
`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

A4.5/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already mark this as read-only and non-destructive, and the description adds substantial behavioral context beyond that: positions come with degree ranges rather than just sector names because Tai Sui occupies 15 degrees; all four afflictions move at Li Chun rather than Lunar New Year; and the changeover date is returned. This gives the agent the key behavioral facts needed to interpret results correctly.

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?

The description is front-loaded with the core purpose and enumerates the four afflictions immediately. Every sentence adds useful information: positional precision, the Li Chun timing, the changeover date, and target use cases. It is dense but not padded, and the structure flows logically from result to boundary conditions to application.

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?

The tool has an output schema, so return-value details are not required in the description. The description fully covers purpose, scope, positional behavior, calendar boundary, and intended usage contexts. Combined with the high-coverage input schema and read-only annotations, an agent has everything needed to invoke this tool 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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the input schema already documents all three parameters well. The description reinforces the year semantics (Li Chun boundary) but does not add new meaning for lang or compact beyond what the schema already provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate because the schema does 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 opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Return the four annual feng shui afflictions for a solar year with their exact positions.' It names exactly which afflictions are included (Tai Sui, Sui Po, Three Killings, Five Yellow) and gives positional detail, clearly distinguishing this from sibling tools focused on bagua, flying stars, or periods.

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 gives clear application context: 'Built for renovation planning, date selection and yearly guidance features.' It also explains the Li Chun boundary, which is essential for correct usage. It does not explicitly name sibling alternatives or say when not to use this tool, but the context is specific enough to guide selection.

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