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.

`seed`	No
`lagna`	No

C2.8/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds genuinely useful operational facts (Vedic group, POST endpoint, 20 credits at Tier 2) that annotations do not carry. It says nothing, however, about what the cascade output nests or how targetDate shifts the period window.

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?

Three compact bracketed lines with zero filler and the core identity front-loaded. The brevity is efficient rather than padded; the shortfall is under-specification, which is scored elsewhere.

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

Completeness2/5

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, but for a tool whose whole point is a specific nesting depth within one dasha family, the description should say what the three levels are and how this differs from the antar/prana/sookshma siblings. That essential context is missing.

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%, including detailed birth-data, timezone, ayanamsa and compact-mode guidance, so the schema carries parameter meaning. The description adds no parameter information at all — notably it never explains targetDate/targetTime/targetTzOffset, which are the fields unique to this dasha-level tool.

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

Purpose3/5

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

"Sthira Pratyantardasha: 3-level cascade" names the dasha system and the subdivision level, so an astrologer-agent can infer the resource. But "3-level cascade" is cryptic and nothing distinguishes this from the closely named siblings (sthira_maha, sthira_antar, sthira_prana, sthira_sookshma), so the agent has to guess from the name alone.

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 statement of when to use this level versus the maha/antar/prana/sookshma variants, nor what targetDate/targetTime are for. The only non-name guidance is group, endpoint and cost metadata, which does not help selection.

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