Transit Calendar

astroway_prognostics_transit_calendar
Read-onlyIdempotent

List exact transit-to-natal aspect moments within a date range, returning one event per exact pass so retrograde triple passes appear as three separate events.

Instructions

List the exact moments of transit-to-natal aspects in a date range, one event per exact pass, so a retrograde triple pass gives three events.

[Group: Prognostics] [Endpoint: POST /v1/transit-calendar] [Cost: 100 credits (Tier 4)]

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered; the description instead adds genuinely new behavior — that events are exact hits, one per pass, so a retrograde triple pass yields three separate events. The [Cost: 100 credits (Tier 4)] and endpoint lines add billing and transport context. Ordering of returned events and timezone of the returned moments are not stated, keeping it at 4.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence states purpose and the key output-shape nuance, followed by compact metadata lines for group, endpoint, and cost. No filler or restatement of the title. It is arguably too terse for a 100-credit call, but nothing is wasted.

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?

With an output schema present and a fully documented input schema, the description only needs to convey what the tool conceptually returns, which it does via 'exact moments ... one event per exact pass'. An agent could call it correctly from this plus structured fields. Minor gaps — event ordering, timezone of returned timestamps, and result caps for long ranges — are the only things 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% and the schema is unusually rich (natal birth-data rules, maxOrb caveat, aspectAngles subset, transitPlanetIds default). The description adds nothing about any parameter — not the startDate/endDate semantics, not the body wrapper. Baseline 3 is the right ceiling when the schema does all the work.

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 verb and resource — 'List the exact moments of transit-to-natal aspects in a date range' — which is far more precise than a generic 'get transits'. The clause about one event per exact pass further pins down the output granularity. It stops short of naming a sibling (e.g. astroway_prognostics_transits) to differentiate from, so a 4 rather than a 5.

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 by the name and the 'date range' scoping: you call this when you want a calendar of exact aspect hits rather than a chart snapshot. There is no explicit when-to-use/when-not guidance and no alternative tool is named, so the agent must infer the boundary against transits, forecast_calendar, and the calendar_* family.

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