Eclipse Analysis

astroway_geo_eclipse_analysis

Read-onlyIdempotent

Analyze upcoming eclipses against a natal chart to reveal aspects to natal planets, activated houses, and Saros series context.

Instructions

Addedv1.6.0Oct 24, 2026

TDQS

A3.5/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive and closed-world, so the description is not carrying the safety burden. It does add decision-relevant context the annotations lack: the transport (POST /v1/eclipse-analysis) and the pricing model (100 credits, Tier 4). It says nothing about latency or quotas, but no contradiction with annotations exists.

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?

Front-loaded single sentence stating the analysis and its three result categories, followed by three compact metadata lines for group, endpoint and cost. No filler, though the bracketed metadata is somewhat boilerplate rather than prose.

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 no explanation, and cost plus endpoint are disclosed. The main remaining gap is that the description does not signal that the call is parameterised by a year and a geographic point for the eclipse search, leaving that entirely to the schema.

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% and the nested natal/chart and point objects are documented in detail upstream, so the schema does the heavy lifting. The description adds no parameter-level meaning at all, which places it at the baseline for full coverage.

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: analysing eclipse impact on a natal chart, and enumerates the outputs (aspects to natal planets, house activations, Saros series). That distinguishes it by scope from siblings like astroway_render_eclipse_path and astroway_stream_eclipse_incoming, though it never names them.

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-to-use guidance, and no pointer to alternatives such as the streaming eclipse tools or the eclipse-path renderer. The only implicit selection signal is 'upcoming eclipses' applied to a natal chart.

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