RWS: Interpret a Hand

astroway_tarot_rider_waite_interpret
Read-onlyIdempotent

Resolve a list of card slugs into structured meanings (POST /interpret/tarot writes the reading of the whole spread).

[Group: Tarot: Rider-Waite-Smith] [Endpoint: POST /v1/tarot/rider-waite/interpret] [Required: cards] [Cost: 10 credits (Tier 1)]

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
artNoCard art set, e.g. rws-1909, rws-restored, rws-vector. GET /v1/tarot/decks lists the sets per deck.
cardsYes
fieldsNoCompact mode: comma-separated dotted paths to keep, relative to `data`, e.g. "planets.name,planets.longitude,houses.cusp". Omit for the whole response.
questionNo
precisionNoCompact mode: round fractional numbers to this many decimals. Longitudes carry 14 by default; 2 is finer than any chart is drawn.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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). The description adds genuinely useful operational context beyond that: the cost (10 credits, Tier 1), the required parameter, and the HTTP endpoint. It does not describe response shape or limits, but the added cost/endpoint context earns above baseline.

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?

The core sentence is front-loaded and waste-free, and the bracketed metadata (group, endpoint, required, cost) is scannable. The mix of prose and metadata block is slightly redundant but not bloated.

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 cost/required/endpoint are covered. However, nothing states the card-count bounds, slug format expectations, or how `art` affects interpretation, leaving gaps for a 5-parameter 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 coverage is 60%, and the description only confirms `cards` is required and characterizes them as slugs. Parameters like `art`, `fields`, `question`, and `precision` are not elaborated in the description beyond what the schema already says. Marginal added value over the structured fields.

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 and resource: resolve a list of card slugs into structured meanings. It also distinguishes itself from the whole-spread reading by citing POST /interpret/tarot, though it references a sibling by endpoint rather than by tool name, which is weaker for selection among the many `astroway_tarot_rider_waite_*` siblings.

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?

Usage is implied (you have card slugs and want their meanings) and the parenthetical contrast with the spread-reading endpoint hints at when to prefer the other tool. There is no explicit when-not or named alternative tool, so an agent still has to infer when to call this versus the draw/interpret siblings.

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