## Tools

### Get CMR Collections

**Slug:** `NASA_GET_CMR_COLLECTIONS`

Tool to retrieve collections from the Common Metadata Repository (CMR). Use when you need to search NASA science data collections by spatial, temporal, or metadata filters. Call after confirming search criteria.

### Get CMR Granules

**Slug:** `NASA_GET_CMR_GRANULES`

Search for data granules in NASA's Common Metadata Repository (CMR). Granules are individual data files within a collection. REQUIRED: Specify at least one collection identifier (concept_id, provider, short_name, or version). OPTIONAL: Add spatial (bounding_box), temporal, or pagination filters to refine results. Returns metadata including download links, temporal coverage, spatial extent, and file size for each granule.

### Get EONET Categories

**Slug:** `NASA_GET_EONET_CATEGORIES`

Tool to retrieve a list of all event categories from EONET. Use when you need current category IDs, titles, descriptions, and info links.

### Get EONET Events (ATOM)

**Slug:** `NASA_GET_EONET_EVENTS_ATOM`

Tool to retrieve a list of natural events in ATOM format. Use when you need a machine-readable XML feed of recent natural events from EONET.

### Get EONET Events RSS

**Slug:** `NASA_GET_EONET_EVENTS_RSS`

Retrieve natural events from NASA's Earth Observatory Natural Event Tracker (EONET) in RSS/GeoRSS XML format. This tool provides a standardized RSS 2.0 feed with GeoRSS extensions, ideal for RSS readers, mapping applications, or systems that need spatial event data in XML format. The feed includes wildfires, storms, floods, volcanoes, icebergs, and other natural phenomena with geographical coordinates, magnitudes, and source references. Use this when you need RSS/XML format specifically. For programmatic access with structured data, consider using the JSON events endpoint instead.

### Get EONET Layers

**Slug:** `NASA_GET_EONET_LAYERS`

Retrieves NASA EONET imagery layers for visualizing natural events. Returns web map service (WMS/WMTS) layer definitions that can be used to display satellite imagery related to events like wildfires, volcanoes, severe storms, etc. Each layer includes service URLs and parameters needed to fetch imagery tiles. Use the optional category parameter to get layers specific to an event type (recommended to avoid empty results).

### GET EONET Magnitudes

**Slug:** `NASA_GET_EONET_MAGNITUDES`

Tool to retrieve a list of available event magnitudes and their descriptions. Use after determining you need valid magnitude filters before querying events data.

### GET EONET Source by ID

**Slug:** `NASA_GET_EONET_SOURCE_BY_ID`

Tool to retrieve details for a specific EONET event source by ID. Use when you need to fetch source metadata (ID, title, homepage) before querying events.

### Get EONET Sources

**Slug:** `NASA_GET_EONET_SOURCES`

Retrieves the complete list of event data sources available in NASA's EONET (Earth Observatory Natural Event Tracker) system. Each source provides natural event data such as wildfires, volcanoes, hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes. Use this tool to: - Discover which organizations provide event data to EONET - Get source IDs for filtering events by specific data providers - Access homepage URLs and filtered event endpoints for each source No parameters required - returns all available sources.

### Get Mars Rover Photos

**Slug:** `NASA_GET_MARS_ROVER_PHOTOS`

Retrieves photos taken by NASA Mars rovers (Perseverance, Curiosity, Opportunity, Spirit) on a specific Martian sol (day). Returns photo metadata including image URLs, camera info, Earth dates, and rover details. Use this when you need to access Mars rover imagery for a particular sol number. Sol 0 represents the landing date for each rover.

### Search Near Earth Objects

**Slug:** `NASA_SEARCH_NEAR_EARTH_OBJECTS`

Search for near-Earth objects (asteroids) by their closest approach date to Earth. Returns detailed information about asteroids including: - Estimated diameter in multiple units (kilometers, meters, miles, feet) - Close approach data with velocity and miss distance - Hazard classification (potentially hazardous or not) - NASA JPL reference URLs for detailed information Use this tool when you need to find asteroids approaching Earth within a specific date range (max 7 days). Useful for tracking asteroid activity, identifying potentially hazardous objects, or researching specific time periods.

### Search SVS Visualizations

**Slug:** `NASA_SEARCH_SVS_VISUALIZATIONS`

Tool to search for visualizations in the Scientific Visualization Studio (SVS). Use when you need to query SVS visualizations by keywords or mission filters.
