AstroWay Relationships

Synastry Element Balance

astroway_relational_synastry_element_balance
Read-onlyIdempotent

Element (fire/earth/air/water) and modality (cardinal/fixed/mutable) tallies for each chart and the combined pair, with dominant and missing elements.

[Group: Comparisons] [Endpoint: POST /v1/synastry/element-balance] [Required: chart1, chart2] [Cost: 50 credits (Tier 3)]

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
chart1YesBirth 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 Swiss Ephemeris letter, P by default; a name such as "Placidus" is refused, and the case matters because I and i are two different Sunshine systems.
chart2YesBirth 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 Swiss Ephemeris letter, P by default; a name such as "Placidus" is refused, and the case matters because I and i are two different Sunshine systems.
fieldsNoCompact mode: comma-separated dotted paths to keep, relative to `data`, e.g. "planets.name,planets.longitude,houses.cusp". Omit for the whole response.
precisionNoCompact mode: round fractional numbers to this many decimals. Longitudes carry 14 by default; 2 is finer than any chart is drawn.

B3.2/5.0
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 the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds cost/tier (50 credits, Tier 3) and the endpoint, which is useful operational context, but says nothing about computation time, output shape, or precision/compact-mode behavior that the caller might care about.

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?

One dense front-loaded sentence states what is produced, and the bracketed metadata block (group, endpoint, required, cost) is compact and scannable. Nothing is redundant, though the sentence is fairly packed.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, and the description still outlines what the response contains. With 100% schema coverage and full annotation coverage, the definition is complete enough to invoke correctly; only the absence of alternative-tool routing keeps it from a 5.

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 nested chart1/chart2 birth-data objects, fields, and precision are already documented in the schema. The description only restates that chart1 and chart2 are required, adding no new semantics, so the baseline of 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?

The description names a specific computation (element and modality tallies) and specifies the outputs precisely: per-chart and combined-pair tallies plus dominant and missing elements. That distinguishes it from a generic chart tool, though it never names the sibling element-balance tools (e.g. astroway_psya_element_balance, astroway_bazi_element_balance) that also tally elements.

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 explicit when-to-use or when-not guidance. The 'Group: Comparisons' tag and the required chart1/chart2 hint that this is a two-chart relational tool, but the description never routes the agent away from alternatives such as astroway_relational_synastry or astroway_psya_relational_element_map, which also operate on pairs.

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