Sade Sati

asterwise_check_sade_sati
Read-onlyIdempotent

Evaluates Saturn's seven-and-a-half-year Moon-sign cycle phases against natal data for the current day and returns intensity, upcoming cycles, and historical rows.

WORKFLOW: BEFORE: RECOMMENDED — asterwise_get_natal_chart — confirm Moon sign context. AFTER: asterwise_get_gochar — broader transit canvas if needed.

INPUT CONTRACT: No explicit query date — API pins to current day. BirthData global contract applies.

DO NOT CONFUSE WITH: asterwise_get_gochar — nine-planet daily scan including sade_sati_active flag but less Sade Sati detail than this tool. asterwise_get_transits — ingress/station feed, not Moon-focused Saturn phase model.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior, so the description only needs to add context beyond those. It does: current-day pinning, output components (intensity, upcoming cycles, historical rows), and a link to the full output/error contract. This goes beyond minimal safety disclosure, though it could still mention rate limits or auth requirements explicitly.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is tightly organized into labeled sections: WORKFLOW, INPUT CONTRACT, and DO NOT CONFUSE WITH. The main capability is front-loaded in one sentence, and the rest is scannable without redundancy. The external contract link is a reasonable substitute for listing every error code inline.

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?

For a read-only astrological tool with a detailed input schema, output schema, and full annotations, the description covers what an agent needs: workflow order, sibling alternatives, current-date behavior, output shape, and a fallback link for detailed contracts. No crucial decision factor appears 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?

The input schema already documents all parameters with 100% coverage, including defaults, formats, and enums, so the baseline of 3 applies. The description adds the important 'no explicit query date' constraint and references the BirthData global contract, but it does not need to re-explain the schema's parameter details.

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?

The description opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Evaluates Saturn's seven-and-a-half-year Moon-sign cycle phases against natal data for the current day and returns intensity, upcoming cycles, and historical rows.' This clearly separates it from generic transit tools. The 'DO NOT CONFUSE WITH' section names asterwise_get_gochar and asterwise_get_transits and explains exactly how they differ.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Usage guidance is explicit and structured: it recommends calling asterwise_get_natal_chart before, suggests asterwise_get_gochar after, and says when not to use this tool in favor of get_gochar or get_transits. The INPUT CONTRACT also states that no query date should be supplied because the API pins to the current day.

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

A3.9/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Many tools are well-differentiated by explicit 'DO NOT CONFUSE WITH' notes, but the sheer number of near-neighbor pairs (e.g., crystal vs gemstone recommendations, natal chart variants, dasha systems, compatibility systems, tarot draw variants) creates real selection risk. The descriptions mitigate overlap, but an agent browsing 103 tools will struggle to pick the right one.

Naming Consistency5/5

Every tool follows the asterwise_get_* or asterwise_draw_* prefix convention with a clear noun phrase (e.g., asterwise_get_natal_chart, asterwise_draw_tarot_cards). The two verbs 'get' and 'draw' are semantically appropriate, and there are no camelCase or mixed-style names.

Tool Count1/5

103 tools is far beyond a manageable MCP surface. While the domain is broad (Vedic astrology, Western astrology, numerology, tarot, crystals, dream symbols), the server bundles multiple distinct domains into one namespace, making it nearly impossible for an agent to discover the right tool efficiently.

Completeness4/5

The surface is impressively comprehensive across astrology, numerology, tarot, and remedies, with deep coverage of dasha systems, compatibility frameworks, and chart types. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no tarot interpretation endpoint, no batch operations, no update/delete since it's read-only data), but for a reference/prediction API the coverage is strong.
