Transits

astroway_prognostics_transits
Read-onlyIdempotent

Calculate transit planet aspects to natal planets for a given date, returning applying and separating aspects so you can time upcoming astrological influences.

Instructions

Calculate transit planet aspects to natal planets for a given date. Returns applying and separating aspects.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
bodyYesBirth 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 house-system letter, P by default; a name such as "Placidus" is refused, and the case matters because I and i are two different Sunshine systems.

  2. Addedv1.6.0

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already cover the safe, idempotent, closed-world read profile, so the description does not need to restate safety. It does add genuinely new context — endpoint POST /v1/transits and a 50-credit Tier 3 cost — which helps an agent weigh expense. It says nothing about what inputs drive accuracy (e.g. that both birth data and a transit date are required) or rate/limit behavior.

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?

Two tight sentences plus compact metadata lines; the purpose is front-loaded with zero filler. The return-value sentence slightly duplicates what the output schema already provides, keeping it from a 5.

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, return values needn't be explained, and the cost/endpoint lines round out the practical picture. However, the description hides a significant structural fact — the body is an intersection requiring natal birth data AND a transit date — which an agent would only discover by reading 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 body description is extremely detailed about field formats, timezone handling, and house system letters, so the schema does the heavy lifting. The description adds no parameter guidance of its own; the phrasing 'for a given date' mentions only the transit date and omits any reference to the natal birth data half of the payload. Baseline 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?

States a specific verb and resource: 'Calculate transit planet aspects to natal planets for a given date', which tells an agent exactly what computation happens. It is not explicitly differentiated from close siblings such as astroway_prognostics_transit_calendar, though 'for a given date' hints at a single-moment snapshot rather than a span.

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?

No statement of when to pick this over transit_calendar, progressions, or solar return, and no prerequisites or exclusions. The only usage signal is the implicit 'given date' scoping, which the agent must infer.

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