Vastu Shastra MCP Server by RoxyAPI

Check room placement - Vastu room direction compliance API

post_vastu_rooms
Read-only

Vastu room direction check for a whole floor plan: send the plot and a list of rooms, by quarter or by outline, and the API returns a verdict per room with the quarters it belongs in, the quarters to keep it out of, a remedy when it is misplaced, and a composite score with the weights published. Four of the twelve room types carry a chapter and verse and the other eight are labelled convention, so a report can say which half of it is classical. Built for floor plan tools, listing checks and practitioner reports.

Input 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
plotYesThe ground the mandala is projected over. Send width and depth for a compass-aligned rectangle, or polygon for anything else. The x axis runs east and the y axis north, and the mandala is aligned to the compass rather than to the building.
roomsYesThe rooms to check, 1 to 24 of them. Each carries a type and either the quarter it sits in or its outline.
facingNoDirection the front of the house looks out toward, one of the eight compass sectors. Case and punctuation are folded, so north-east, northeast and NorthEast all resolve. Send this or facingDegrees, never both.
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.
facingDegreesNoDirection the front of the house looks out toward, as a compass bearing in degrees clockwise from true north, measured looking OUT from the building. The same convention the feng shui facing endpoints use, so a bearing works unchanged across the two domains. Send this or facing, never both.

  4. First observed

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare a safe read operation, so the bar is lower, and the description still adds substantive nuance: per-room verdicts, keep-out quarters, remedies, a weighted composite score, and the classical-vs-convention labelling split. It omits any mention of size limits, costs, or rate behaviour, keeping it short of a 5.

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 core action and its inputs are front-loaded and the sentences are dense with real information. The closing audience sentence ('Built for floor plan tools, listing checks and practitioner reports') is the weakest part, but the description is overall efficiently sized for a six-parameter nested tool.

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?

With an output schema covering return values and annotations covering safety, the description supplies the input shape, the quarter-vs-polygon choice, and the scoring/citation nuance an agent needs. Only the lack of routing relative to the nine sibling endpoints leaves a visible gap.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The phrase 'by quarter or by outline' restates the schema's direction-vs-polygon either/or but adds no syntax, unit, or edge-case detail beyond what the field descriptions already provide.

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 names a specific verb and resource ('Vastu room direction check for a whole floor plan') and states the inputs and return shape, which distinguishes it from the single-element siblings like post_vastu_entrance and post_vastu_plot without opening a schema.

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?

'Built for floor plan tools, listing checks and practitioner reports' implies the audience and scenario, but there is no explicit when-to-use vs. when-to-use-a-sibling guidance — nothing tells the agent to prefer post_vastu_entrance for a single doorway check or post_vastu_mandala for the grid itself.

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