Find KP rasi ingress times

post_vedic_astrology_kp_rasi_changes
Read-only

Track when planets enter new zodiac signs (rasi) with precise ingress timestamps. Essential for Vedic astrology transit analysis, muhurta selection, and predictive horoscope readings. Returns exact times when planets cross sign boundaries (0, 30, 60 degrees etc). Use for tracking Sun sankranti dates, Moon sign changes for panchang, or outer planet transits for yearly predictions.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
planetYesPlanet to track (case-insensitive). Valid values: Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn
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.
endDateYesLast day of the search, inclusive (YYYY-MM-DD), a calendar day in `timezone`. Not before startDate, at most 365 days after it.
ayanamsaNoAyanamsa system for sidereal conversion. "kp-newcomb" uses the KP-Newcomb dynamic formula, the most common choice for KP astrology. "kp-old" uses the Krishnamurti original table from KP Reader-1 with constant precession rate. "lahiri" uses Lahiri/Chitrapaksha ayanamsa, matching most traditional Vedic software. "raman" uses the B.V. Raman ayanamsa from Hindu Predictive Astrology, a recognised traditional school that sits about 1.45 degrees below Lahiri. Defaults to "kp-newcomb".kp-newcomb
nodeTypeNoLunar node convention. "mean" is the smoothed average node, which always moves retrograde; "true" is the osculating node, which tracks the real perturbed node, oscillates up to about 1.5 degrees either side of the mean on a 173-day cycle, and can briefly turn direct. Neither is more correct and they almost always fall in the same sign. Applies to the Rahu and Ketu positions. Mean is the traditional Vedic default and what printed panchangs use; the choice can move a KP sub-lord in narrow boundary cases, where a span can be as small as 0.5 degrees. Defaults to "mean".mean
timezoneNoIANA name (e.g. "America/New_York", "Europe/London"), a fixed offset like "+05:30", OR decimal hours from UTC. One offset is taken from startDate (DST-correct for that date) and used for the whole range, so a window crossing a daylight-saving change is read on the earlier offset throughout; send a fixed offset if you need that explicit. The two dates are read as calendar days in this timezone and output times are converted to it, so one date with 5.5 is that whole Indian day. Defaults to 0 (UTC).
startDateYesFirst day of the search (YYYY-MM-DD), a calendar day in `timezone`.

  9. First observed

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that results are exact ingress timestamps at sign boundaries, but it does not add substantial behavioral context beyond that, such as result shape, timezone handling, or range constraints, though the schema covers some of this.

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 three sentences, front-loaded with the core behavior and followed by motivating use cases. It is efficient, though 'precise ingress timestamps' and 'exact times when planets cross sign boundaries' are somewhat redundant.

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?

The rich input schema and output schema carry most operational detail, while the description supplies selection context and output semantics. It is complete enough for an agent to decide and invoke correctly, though naming the closest sibling alternative would improve it.

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% and the parameter documentation is detailed, so the baseline of 3 applies. The description does not add meaningful parameter-level guidance beyond hinting at planet-specific uses like Sun sankranti and Moon sign changes.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's function: tracking when planets enter zodiac signs (rasi) and returning precise ingress timestamps at sign boundaries. It is specific about the resource and output, but does not explicitly distinguish itself from closely related sibling tools such as kp_sublord_changes or ecliptic_crossings.

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 concrete use cases: Vedic transit analysis, muhurta selection, Sun sankranti dates, Moon sign changes for panchang, and outer planet transits. It does not mention when not to use it or name alternatives, but the context is clear 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.
