Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`body`	Yes	Birth data for a single natal chart. Required: date (YYYY-MM-DD), time (HH:mm:ss), latitude and longitude in decimal degrees. The short forms lat, lon, lng and tz are rejected with 400 INVALID_FIELD; pass the full names. timezoneOffset is hours from UTC and defaults to 0, meaning UTC; send timezone instead (an IANA name such as Europe/Kyiv, or auto) and the offset for that date is worked out, summer time included. city is a display label only: nothing here geocodes it, so it never stands in for coordinates. houseSystem is a single house-system letter, P by default; a name such as "Placidus" is refused, and the case matters because I and i are two different Sunshine systems.
`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.

TDQS

B3.2/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, non-destructive and closed-world, so safety is covered. The description adds genuinely useful operational context the annotations lack: the POST endpoint and the 20-credit Tier 2 cost, which matters for a paid call. It does not explain how targetDate/targetTime shift the cascade window or how large the response is.

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?

Two short sentences plus structured metadata lines, with the core definition front-loaded and no filler. The endpoint line partially duplicates the tool name, but nothing is verbose or padded.

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?

Output schema exists, so return values need no prose, and annotations cover the safety profile; the added cost and endpoint lines close the main operational gap. What remains missing is the practical framing of the optional target date for period lookup, which is a modest gap for a read-only calculation tool.

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%, with rich inline documentation of birth data, ayanamsa, timezone and the compact-mode fields/precision parameters, so the baseline of 3 applies. The description itself contributes no parameter meaning beyond the generic 'MD → AD → 8 PDs' framing, and notably says nothing about the optional targetDate/targetTime parameters that determine which periods are listed.

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 the specific dasha system and level ('Shodashottari Pratyantardasha') and expands it as a '3-level cascade (MD → AD → 8 PDs)', which tells an agent exactly what subdivision depth is returned. It does not name the adjacent levels (antar, prana, sookshma) that appear as siblings, so differentiation is by inference from the 'Pratyantar/3-level' label rather than explicit contrast.

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?

The description gives no when-to-use guidance and no exclusions. With ten dasha systems each exposing five levels (maha/antar/pratyantar/sookshma/prana), an agent must already know that pratyantar means third-level periods to choose this over astroway_vedic_dashas_shodashottari_prana or _sookshma; the text never says this.

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