Mahadasha Junction Overlaps
get_dasha_overlap
T9: the windows at each Mahadasha junction, the outgoing Mahadasha's last Antardasha against the incoming one's first, and whether both lords signify the event ('isHighProbability'). Returns '{ technique, event, requiredHouses, overlapWindows: [{ outgoingMD, outgoingLastAD, incomingMD, incomingFirstAD, overlapStart, overlapEnd, outgoingADSignifiesRequired, incomingADSignifiesRequired, isHighProbability }], summary }'. The same block 'get_dasha_timing_panel' returns as 'dashaOverlap'.

}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.
