Decennials

hellenistic_hand_decennials
Read-onlyIdempotent

Compute ancient Hellenistic Hand decennial timing periods from birth data. Determines planetary rulership over specific years of life.

Instructions

Hand's decennial timing technique.

[Group: Hellenistic — Hand tradition]

Example request body: {"...chart":"..."}

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
bodyYesBirth data for a single natal chart. Required: date (YYYY-MM-DD), time (HH:mm:ss). Defaults to lat/lon/tz=0 if omitted; pass real values for accurate computation.
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, indicating a safe read operation. The description adds no behavioral traits beyond 'timing technique', which is already implied. No contradictions.

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?

Extremely concise (one sentence plus group tag and example). Front-loads the key action. Could be more structured but efficient.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Despite annotations covering safety, the description lacks details on what decennials compute, the output format, or any behavioral context. No output schema further reduces completeness for a complex timing technique.

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%: the 'body' parameter includes a detailed description of birth data fields. The tool description adds no further parameter meaning beyond an example, so it meets the baseline.

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 clearly states 'Hand's decennial timing technique', which indicates a specific verb (timing) and resource (decennials). However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like hellenistic_hand_bounds or hellenistic_hand_decanic_rulers, which also relate to timing techniques in the Hand tradition.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description only provides a group label and an example request, leaving the agent without context to choose among many hellenistic sibling tools.

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