Lal Kitab — Rin (6 ancestral debts)

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

Annotations already indicate read-only, non-destructive, idempotent behavior. Description adds no new behavioral traits beyond detecting debts and returning remedies. It does not reveal potential side effects or limitations, but annotations cover the safety profile adequately.

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?

Three concise sentences plus an example. No wasted words, but the example could be better formatted as a parameter table. Still, it is well front-loaded and efficient.

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?

For a complex tool with 11 parameters, no output schema, and esoteric subject, the description should provide more context about what trigger conditions are, how output is structured, or the methodology behind detecting debts. It mentions sources but lacks completeness.

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?

Schema coverage is 0%, so the description carries full burden. It only illustrates an example with 5 of 11 parameters (date, time, timezoneOffset, latitude, longitude), leaving others like houseSystem, name, city, zodiacType, etc. unexplained. The example is helpful but insufficient for complete parameter understanding.

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?

Clearly states the tool detects six specific ancestral debts (Pitri, Stree, etc.) using Lal Kitab patterns, and mentions output includes trigger conditions and remedies. This is a specific verb+resource with distinction from sibling tools like 'vedic_doshas_lal_kitab_rin'.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., vedic_doshas_lal_kitab_rin or other Vedic debt tools). The description provides an example request body but does not clarify context for use or exclusion criteria.

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