`body`	Yes	Natal chart plus the declination orb in degrees.
`fields`	No	Compact mode: comma-separated dotted paths to keep, relative to `data`, e.g. "planets.name,planets.longitude,houses.cusp". Omit for the whole response.
`precision`	No	Compact mode: round fractional numbers to this many decimals. Longitudes carry 14 by default; 2 is finer than any chart is drawn.

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`parallels`	No

B3.2/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world), so the description's main added value is the cost notice (20 credits, Tier 2) and the POST endpoint, both useful for planning. It says nothing further about behavior, such as what the default orb is or how the returned aspect list is shaped.

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 front-loaded sentence captures the entire operation, followed by short bracketed metadata lines for group, endpoint, and cost. Nothing is padded or redundant, though the metadata lines are not strictly part of the semantic description.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With an output schema present, return values need not be explained, and the cost and endpoint are disclosed, which covers the basics for a read-only calculation tool. It remains thin on how the tool relates to its many aspect siblings and on the orb parameter's default, which an agent would need to guess.

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%, so the heavy lifting is already done by the schema (including the detailed birth-data block and the compact-mode fields/precision parameters). The description only adds the notion of an orb filter via 'within orb', without stating a default or valid range beyond what the schema constrains.

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 verb (Calculate) and resource (parallel and contra-parallel aspects between all planets within orb), and defines the two terms inline, so the agent knows exactly what is computed. It does not differentiate itself from nearby aspect siblings such as astroway_aspects_antiscia or astroway_aspects_aspect_bar, which an agent might reasonably confuse it with.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no when-to-use guidance, no condition that selects this over the sibling aspect tools, and no note on prerequisites such as needing a natal chart first. The only usage-adjacent information is the endpoint and credit cost metadata.

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