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

Annotations already cover read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior, so the description need not repeat that. It adds useful output context (35-year cycle, ruling planet) but does not mention any limitations, error conditions, or input requirements beyond general 'birth chart'.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two short sentences with no filler; the main action is front-loaded and the second sentence adds concrete output detail. Every sentence earns its place.

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

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

Despite annotations and an output schema, the description omits usage selection guidance among a large set of dasha-related sibling tools and does not clarify the input contract. An agent would need to inspect the schema and sibling names to decide when this tool is appropriate.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With schema description coverage at 0% at the top level, the description should compensate by explaining parameter requirements, but it provides none. It only refers to 'a birth chart' without detailing the required birth details (date, time, place, coordinates, timezone), leaving the agent dependent entirely on the schema.

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

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

The description clearly states it retrieves Lal Kitab dasha periods and specifies the 35-year cycle with ruling planet per period. This is specific enough to distinguish from generic dasha tools, though it does not explicitly compare with sibling tools like divine_get_lal_kitab_mahadasha_content.

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

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

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus the many sibling dasha tools (vimshottari, yogini, kaal_chakra, lal_kitab_mahadasha_content, etc.). The description only states what it does, leaving the agent to infer selection criteria.

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