# Swarmauri Tool Dale-Chall Readability

Tool wrapper around [`textstat`](https://pypi.org/project/textstat/) to compute the Dale–Chall readability score for a block of text via the Swarmauri tool interface.

## Features

- Accepts an `input_text` parameter and returns `{"dale_chall_score": <float>}`.
- Uses `textstat.dale_chall_readability_score` under the hood.
- Input validation ensures the required parameter is present before calculation.

## Prerequisites

- Python 3.10 or newer.
- `textstat` and `pyphen` dictionaries (installed automatically). Some textstat metrics may download additional word lists on first use.

## Installation

```bash
# pip
pip install swarmauri_tool_dalechallreadability

# poetry
poetry add swarmauri_tool_dalechallreadability

# uv (pyproject-based projects)
uv add swarmauri_tool_dalechallreadability
```

## Quickstart

```python
from swarmauri_tool_dalechallreadability import DaleChallReadabilityTool

text = "This is a simple sentence for testing purposes."
tool = DaleChallReadabilityTool()
result = tool({"input_text": text})
print(result)
```

## Usage in Tool Chains

```python
from swarmauri_tool_dalechallreadability import DaleChallReadabilityTool

def grade_paragraph(paragraph: str) -> float:
    tool = DaleChallReadabilityTool()
    score = tool({"input_text": paragraph})["dale_chall_score"]
    return score
```

## Tips

- Dale–Chall scores roughly map to U.S. grade levels; lower scores indicate easier reading.
- Pre-clean text (remove markup, normalize whitespace) for consistent scoring.
- Combine with Swarmauri measurements or parsers to evaluate readability across multiple documents.
