Sex of a Child as the Corpus States It (KP Reader 2 canon p.108, Reader 4 canon p.240)
get_child_sex_indication
Two statements the corpus makes, kept apart. The traditional general rule KSK prints in Reader 2: the 5th cusp's sign, the 5th lord's gender (BPHS ch. 3 v. 19: Sun, Mars, Jupiter male; Moon, Venus female; Mercury, Saturn neuter) and the sign it occupies, masculine for boys and feminine for girls, three testimonies counted and reported. And the one KP delivery case in Reader 4: the running antara and sookshma lords AT THE DELIVERY being male planets read a son, with KSK's own words carried, 'I never had any experience in pin-pointing the sex before birth'. Pass delivery_date to compute the second; without it the field says why it waits. The count of children is NOT computed: no Reader page searched states a number, and a count crosses the wire with its page or not at all. A disclaimer travels on the payload; nothing here is a verdict.

}Birth data
This tool requires birth data on every call. The MCP server is stateless, so calling set_birth_profile first validates the data and returns the reading plan, but it does not store anything. Repeat the same five fields here.
