Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
dateYesDate in YYYY-MM-DD format. A single-digit month or day is accepted and zero-padded (2026-3-5 becomes 2026-03-05). Impossible calendar dates are rejected. Calculations that read planetary positions support 1550-01-02 to 2650-01-22; outside that span they answer 400 with code date_out_of_range, and a calculation that reads a window around the date (a sunrise search, a run of days) may answer the same 400 for a date within a few days of either end.
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
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. Determines sunrise and sunset times which define day/night boundaries for muhurta calculations.
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. Send the timezone that matches the coordinates: sunrise, sunset and every muhurta boundary are found by searching forward from local midnight, so the default anchors the search to an Indian day. Omitting it for a location outside IST returns a correctly ordered set of periods for the wrong window, shifted by the difference between 5.5 and the real offset. Defaults to 5.5 (IST).
longitudeYesObserver longitude in decimal degrees. Affects local time calculations for sunrise, sunset, and muhurta period boundaries.

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so safety is covered structurally. The description adds a useful enumeration of what data comes back, but most of that overlaps the output schema, and it says nothing about accuracy caveats, computation cost, or error behavior beyond what the schema carries.

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?

A single well-sized paragraph that front-loads the most important content (the five limbs and time data) before the muhurta windows and use cases. Slightly list-like with some redundancy against the title, but every clause earns its place.

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?

For a high-complexity, six-parameter tool with an output schema and annotations already present, the description covers what an agent needs to recognize the dataset. The one real gap is lack of differentiation from the other panchang variants, which is a selection rather than completeness issue.

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 six parameters (including timezone, latitude, longitude, compact, lang) are documented thoroughly in the schema itself. The description only gestures at location dependence ('based on observer location') without adding syntax or format meaning, so the baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific resource (daily panchang) and enumerates its scope: the five limbs, sunrise/sunset/moonrise/moonset, inauspicious periods, auspicious windows, and hora. This is far more informative than a bare name. However, it does not distinguish itself from close siblings like panchang_basic, panchang_choghadiya, or panchang_hora, which matters given the dense sibling set.

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 closing list of use cases (muhurta selection, horoscope apps, Hindu calendar integration, electional astrology) gives implied context for when the tool is appropriate. But it never states when to prefer this over the basic/choghadiya/hora panchang siblings, which is exactly the decision an agent must make in this tool family.

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