Daily Panchang (Hindu almanac)

get_panchang
Read-onlyIdempotent

Get the Hindu panchang for any date and place: tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, lunar month, sunrise/sunset, and inauspicious periods. Use for daily Vedic almanac queries.

Instructions

Returns the Hindu panchang (daily Vedic almanac) for one date at one place: the five angas (tithi with paksha, nakshatra, yoga, karana, vara with its weekday lord) each with its end time, the lunar month with adhika-masa flag, sunrise/sunset/moonrise/moonset, abhijit muhurta, the auspicious choghadiya windows, and the inauspicious periods (rahu kaal, yamaganda, gulika kala). Use this for 'what is today's panchang / tithi / nakshatra' questions. If the user wants the FULL timing surface (all 16 choghadiya, the 24 horas, varjyam, bhadra, panchak, brahma muhurta) to choose a moment for an activity, call get_muhurta_timings instead. Nakshatra here is the DAY's nakshatra, not a person's birth star -- for that use get_birth_details. Read-only deterministic computation (Swiss Ephemeris, Lahiri ayanamsa); no writes, no auth, at least 30 requests/min/IP per server instance, plus a shared engine budget of at least 60/min/IP across all engine-backed tools. Any city worldwide; window times derive from that location's actual sunrise and sunset, so they differ city to city on the same date.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
dateNoGregorian date to compute, YYYY-MM-DD, e.g. 2026-07-25. Years 1200-2400. Omit to get today's date at the given place (not the server's date).
placeNoPlace as free text, "City, State, Country" -- e.g. "Jaipur, Rajasthan, India". Preferred input: it is geocoded to coordinates and an IANA timezone server-side, and any city worldwide works. Omit only if you pass latitude + longitude + timezone instead.
latitudeNoLatitude in decimal degrees, -90 to 90, north positive (Delhi = 28.6139). Use only when `place` is omitted, and then longitude and timezone are required too.
timezoneNoIANA timezone name, e.g. "Asia/Kolkata" or "America/New_York" (never an offset like "+05:30"). Required when latitude/longitude are used; ignored when `place` is given.
longitudeNoLongitude in decimal degrees, -180 to 180, east positive (Delhi = 77.2090). Use only when `place` is omitted.
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, etc. Description adds deterministic computation via Swiss Ephemeris, Lahiri ayanamsa, no writes, no auth, rate limits (30 req/min/IP + shared budget), and that window times are based on actual sunrise/sunset. This provides rich behavioral context beyond annotations.

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?

5 sentences, front-loaded with main output, minimal waste. Every sentence adds value, though slightly long for a concise definition. Still well-structured and efficient.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given no output schema and a complex tool with many output components, the description enumerates all major outputs and adds rate limit and auth details. It is comprehensive enough for an agent to understand what the tool provides and how to use it.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema already describes all 5 parameters (100% coverage). Description adds that date can be omitted for today, place is geocoded server-side, timezone must be IANA (not offset), and lat/lon required when place omitted. This adds meaningful usage context.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description clearly states it returns the Hindu panchang for one date at one place, enumerating the five angas, lunar month, sunrise/sunset, muhurta, choghadiya, and inauspicious periods. It also distinguishes from siblings like get_muhurta_timings and get_birth_details, making the purpose precise.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly says to use for 'what is today's panchang / tithi / nakshatra' questions and contrasts with get_muhurta_timings for full timing surface and get_birth_details for birth star. Could be more exhaustive about when not to use, but provides solid guidance.

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