Sahams (Tajik Sensitive Points)
get_sahams
[Tajik] 15 sahams as A-B+C lots: Punya, Yasas, Vidya, Vivah, Putra, Karya, Roga, Pitri, Matri, Bhratri, Rajya, Nyya, Bandhana, Krodha, Karya-Siddhi. Each returns sidereal longitude, sign, house, star lord, sub lord, the formula that ran, and per-entry PROVENANCE against the Tajika Neelakanthi (1587), read second-hand via Charak and Raman: 7 attested, 2 engine-variant, 6 unverified. formulaUsed is the arithmetic, NOT a citation. Where an attested formula differs from the one the engine takes as primary it is carried in variants[], computed, so both points ship and the caller chooses; Vivah is the live case (7th cusp - Venus + Asc here, Venus - Saturn + Asc in Charak, both real lineages). correction30 reports the contested add-30-degrees rule and is applied to nothing. Yasas and Bandhana's attested forms are CHAINED on the computed Punya saham. Sahams natively belong to the ANNUAL (varshaphala) chart: pass target_year and they are cast on that year's solar-return chart (same return instant as get_varshaphala_chart, 'frame: 'annual''); without it they are cast on the natal chart ('frame: 'natal''), which Charak also reads, a saham weak at birth cannot deliver in the annual chart. Mrityu Saham is intentionally omitted per project policy (no death framing).

}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.
