Birth Time Rectification

rectify_birth_time

Refine an uncertain birth time by testing ±30 min around the stated time against known life events. Requires at least 1 known event with date and houses that should have been active. Returns '{ candidates: [{ datetime, score, eventMatches[] }], bestCandidate, originalTime, refinedTime }'. For RP-confirmation rectification using event location (more rigorous) use 'get_rectification_advanced'. For finding entirely-unknown birth time use 'find_birth_time'.

Engine endpoint

This tool delegates to the kp-engine endpoint:

http

POST /v1/kp/birth-time-rectification

The engine is a private internal service. All public access flows through the MCP server, which handles auth, rate limiting, and response compaction.

Birth data

This tool requires birth data. If you have already called set_birth_profile in the same conversation, the MCP server injects those fields automatically and you can omit them from the call.
