Get planetary aspects (Drishti) - Mutual aspects between all planets

post_vedic_astrology_aspects
Read-only

Calculate all planetary aspects (Drishti) for a given time. Returns full aspects (7th house for all planets) and special aspects (Mars 4th/8th, Jupiter 5th/9th, Saturn 3rd/10th). Includes aspect table grouped by planet, mutual aspects, and individual aspect details with orb calculation. Essential for birth chart analysis, compatibility checking, and transit predictions. Planetary aspects API, drishti calculator, vedic astrology aspects, graha drishti.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
dateYesDate in YYYY-MM-DD format. Planetary positions are calculated for this date to determine mutual aspects (drishti).
timeYesTime in HH:MM:SS format (24-hour). Exact time affects fast-moving planets (Moon, Mercury) and aspect orbs.
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.
latitudeYesObserver latitude in decimal degrees. Used for Lagna calculation which affects house-based aspect analysis.
timezoneNoTimezone: an IANA name (e.g. "America/New_York", "Europe/London", or `cities[0].timezone` from /location/search) or decimal hours from UTC (e.g. -5 for EST, 5.5 for IST). An IANA name is resolved to the offset in force at the given date and time. Defaults to 5.5 (IST).
longitudeYesObserver longitude in decimal degrees. Affects local sidereal time for positional calculations.
coordinateSystemNoCoordinate system for longitude output. "sidereal" (Nirayana) uses Lahiri ayanamsa, the standard for Vedic astrology. "tropical" (Sayana) uses raw ecliptic longitude matching Western astrology. Defaults to "sidereal".sidereal

  8. First observed

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Even with readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false in annotations, the description adds meaningful behavioral detail: it states the tool 'Returns full aspects...', includes a table, mutual aspects, and 'individual aspect details with orb calculation.' This goes beyond the annotation safety profile, though it does not cover edge behaviors like error conditions or rate limits.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The core description is front-loaded with the primary purpose, but the final sentence is a keyword block ('Planetary aspects API, drishti calculator, vedic astrology aspects, graha drishti') that adds no functional information and is noise for an agent. This bloat prevents a higher score.

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 presence of an output schema, full parameter descriptions, and annotations covering read-only safety, the description covers the essential use context and key output contracts (full vs. special aspects, orb calculation). It is complete enough for an agent to invoke correctly, though it omits any mention of coordinate system or timezone handling, which are already documented in the schema.

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?

Input schema coverage is 100%, with all seven parameters fully described, so the description is not required to repeat them. It refers to 'a given time' and the aspect calculation but adds no parameter-specific meaning beyond the schema. Baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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: 'Calculate all planetary aspects (Drishti) for a given time.' It further distinguishes its scope by enumerating full 7th-house aspects and special aspects for Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, which clearly separates it from sibling tools like aspects_lunar and aspects_monthly that target narrower subsets.

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?

It provides clear usage context by stating it is 'Essential for birth chart analysis, compatibility checking, and transit predictions.' However, it does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use this tool versus related aspect endpoints such as post_vedic_astrology_aspects_lunar.

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