Vedic Astrology and Kundli MCP Server by RoxyAPI

Get the twelve Arudha padas - Arudha Lagna Calculator API

post_vedic_astrology_arudha
Read-only

Calculate the Arudha Lagna (AL) and all twelve Arudha padas of Jaimini astrology from birth details. An Arudha pada is the perceived or projected form of a bhava, so where the Lagna shows what a person is, the Arudha Lagna shows the image and status the world attaches to them. Returns each pada with the bhava lord and the count that produced it, the sign it lands in, its house from the Lagna, and a flag showing whether the classical exception moved it. Includes the Upapada (UL) read for marriage. Arudha Lagna calculator API, Jaimini pada, Upapada Lagna, Vedic astrology public image.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
dateYesBirth date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Date determines planetary positions and nakshatra calculations for Vedic kundli (janam patri). Accurate birth date is essential for dashas, yoga calculations, and divisional charts (vargas).
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
timeYesBirth time in 24-hour HH:MM:SS format. Time is CRITICAL for Lagna (Ascendant) calculation and house divisions. It changes every two hours roughly. Even minutes matter for accurate nakshatra pada and divisional chart (D9, D10) calculations. Without exact time, Lagna and house-based predictions will be incorrect.
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.
ayanamsaNoSidereal frame (ayanamsa) the chart is cast in. "lahiri" is Lahiri/Chitrapaksha, the traditional Vedic standard used by most software, and is the default. "raman" is the B.V. Raman ayanamsa from Hindu Predictive Astrology, about 1.45 degrees below Lahiri. "kp-newcomb" and "kp-old" are the two Krishnamurti Paddhati frames. "custom" takes your own value in degrees via ayanamsaValue, for reconciling exactly against a specific reference program. The frame rotates the whole zodiac, so a graha sitting within 1.45 degrees of a boundary can change rashi or nakshatra when you switch: pick the one your reference software uses and keep it.lahiri
latitudeYesBirth location latitude in decimal degrees. Location determines local sidereal time for Lagna calculation and affects bhava (house) cusps. Example: Delhi 28.6139, Mumbai 19.0760, Kathmandu 27.7172.
timezoneNoTimezone: IANA name (e.g. "America/New_York", "Europe/London") OR decimal hours from UTC (e.g. -5 for EST, 1 for CET). IANA strings are resolved to the DST-correct offset for the given date, so you can pass `cities[0].timezone` from /location/search directly. Defaults to 5.5.
longitudeYesBirth location longitude in decimal degrees. Affects local time calculations and ayanamsha adjustments. Example: Delhi 77.2090, Mumbai 72.8777, Kathmandu 85.3240.
ayanamsaValueNoCustom ayanamsa value in degrees. When provided, overrides the computed ayanamsa from the selected type. Use for testing with specific ayanamsa values or matching a particular reference source.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare the tool readOnly and non-destructive; the description adds useful behavioral detail about the result, including bhava lord, count, sign, house from Lagna, and the exception flag. It also notes the Upapada inclusion, which the annotations do not convey.

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 sentences are front-loaded: purpose, conceptual meaning, return contents, and Upapada. Some phrasing in the conceptual explanation and trailing keyword fragment is slightly redundant, but nothing feels like padding and the key facts are easy to parse.

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?

Because there is no output schema, the description does a good job of outlining the returned fields (lord, count, sign, house, exception flag, Upapada). It leaves exact field names and data shapes to inference, but for a calculator-style API this is sufficient guidance.

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 schema already covers all 9 parameters with detailed descriptions (100% coverage), so the description is not obligated to explain them. The description only refers generically to 'birth details', which adds no real semantic value over the schema.

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?

States a specific verb ('Calculate') and a precise resource ('Arudha Lagna and all twelve Arudha padas of Jaimini astrology'). The conceptual explanation and the distinctive tool name make it clearly different from the many sibling post_vedic_astrology_* tools.

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?

Sets clear usage context: this is for Jaimini Arudha calculations, including the public image conveyed by the Arudha Lagna and the Upapada for marriage. It does not explicitly contrast with an alternative or state when not to use it, but the domain is specific enough for an agent to route correctly.

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

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Many tools have overlapping concepts (multiple dasha levels, monthly variants, aspects, transit), but detailed descriptions clarify each one's distinct purpose. Still, a few pairs like planetary_positions vs birth_chart or aspects_monthly vs aspects_lunar could confuse an agent initially.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a strict get_vedic_astrology_* or post_vedic_astrology_* prefix with snake_case resource names. The pattern is predictable and uniformly applied, including the hierarchical dasha drill-downs, making it easy to infer tool families.

Tool Count1/5

With 50 tools, the server is extremely heavy. Many are monthly, interval, or sub-level variants that could be parameterized or consolidated, making the set feel bloated and difficult to navigate for an agent.

Completeness5/5

The tool set covers nearly the entire Vedic astrology domain: reference data (nakshatras, rashis, yoga glossary), core charts (birth, navamsa, divisional), dasha hierarchy, transits, compatibility, doshas, panchang, KP system, and advanced calculations like Shadbala and Ashtakavarga. No significant gaps are apparent.
