Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`date`	Yes	Birth 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).
`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
`time`	Yes	Birth 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.
`focus`	No	Which signification vocabulary the houseThemes map returns. "general" gives the classical bhava significations (self, wealth, siblings, home, and so on). "finance" gives the money reading of the same twelve bhavas, so house 2 returns income and savings, 5 speculation and risk appetite, 8 sudden money and leverage, 11 gains and profits, and 12 expenses and capital outflow. Use "finance" for wealth, income, business and market timing questions in Krishnamurti Paddhati, where the significator house groups 2, 6, 10, 11 for earned income and 5, 8, 11 for speculation are read against a running dasha. Defaults to "general".	general
`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.
`ayanamsa`	No	Ayanamsa system used to place the birth Moon in its nakshatra, which sets every dasha start and end date. "lahiri" uses Lahiri/Chitrapaksha, the traditional Vedic standard, and is the default. "kp-newcomb" uses the KP-Newcomb dynamic formula, matching Krishnamurti Paddhati software. "kp-old" uses the Krishnamurti original table from KP Reader-1. "raman" uses the B.V. Raman ayanamsa, the second frame traditional Indian software commonly offers beside Lahiri. "custom" takes your own value in degrees via ayanamsaValue, for reconciling exactly against a specific reference program. Switching frames shifts every dasha boundary by weeks, so pick the one your reference software uses.	lahiri
`latitude`	Yes	Birth 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.
`nodeType`	No	Lunar node type for Rahu and Ketu, used ONLY when "significators" is true. Dasha dates themselves come from the Moon and never move with this field. "mean" uses the smooth mean node (traditional default). "true" uses the osculating node, which swings up to 1.5 degrees either side of mean over a 173-day cycle and can therefore change which house or star a node falls in. Defaults to "mean".	mean
`timezone`	No	Timezone: 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.
`longitude`	Yes	Birth location longitude in decimal degrees. Affects local time calculations and ayanamsha adjustments. Example: Delhi 77.2090, Mumbai 72.8777, Kathmandu 85.3240.
`ayanamsaValue`	No	Custom 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.
`significators`	No	Set true to attach the KP significators of each period lord: its star lord, sub lord, occupied house, the houses it signifies at levels L1 to L4, and a strength grade. Off by default, so responses stay exactly as they are for clients that only need dates. Requires the birth latitude and longitude, since significators are read off a Placidus house chart, and uses the same ayanamsa frame selected above.

TDQS

A3.7/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already establish that this is a safe read-only operation. The description adds that it returns the full 120-year cycle and all major periods, which is useful but does not explain response structure, period boundaries, or any dependency such as lunar nakshatra placement. It does not contradict the annotations.

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 description is short and front-loaded with the key behavior. The second sentence restates the 120-year scope from the title and first sentence, so it is slightly redundant, but there is no fluff or irrelevant detail.

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 that annotations already signal safety, the schema fully documents all parameters, and the sibling list makes the endpoint's scope clear, the description provides enough context to identify and call the tool. Without an output schema, a bit more detail about the returned period structure would have been helpful, but that does not make the definition incomplete for selection.

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 describes all 12 parameters in detail, so the description does not need to add parameter semantics. It offers no extra meaning beyond what the schema provides, which matches the baseline for full schema 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 what the tool does: returns the complete Vimshottari Dasha cycle from birth through 120 years. 'Complete' and 'all major planetary periods' distinguish it from siblings like current-dasha and sub-period endpoints, so an agent can identify this as the full Mahadasha listing tool.

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?

The description implies this is for retrieving the entire lifespan Mahadasha sequence, rather than only the current dasha or sub-periods, but it does not explicitly state when to prefer this tool over dasha_current, sub_mahadasha, or the antardasha endpoints. Usage context is present only by inference from 'complete' and 'from birth through 120 years'.

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.
