How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score →

Endpoint Security57
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability69
  • 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2042 tokens (~408/item across 5 items; 4 tools + 1 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management27
  • Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial

  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass

MCP tools — 4 exposed · ~2,024 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability.

Tool Tokens
aggregate ~655

Run aggregation queries on the AQUAVIEW catalog — get counts, spatial distributions, temporal distributions, and per-collection breakdowns without fetching individual items. Args: aggregations: Comma-separated aggregation types (required). Valid types: total_count, datetime_max, datetime_min, datetime_frequency, collection_frequency, geometry_geohash_grid_frequency, geometry_geotile_grid_frequency. collections: Comma-separated collection IDs to scope the aggregation (e.g., "NOAA,NDBC"). exclude_collections: Comma-separated collection IDs to omit from the aggregation (e.g., "INCIDENT_NEWS"). Applied as a CQL2 NOT filter, so it composes with `filter`. bbox: Bounding box as "west,south,east,north". datetime: Temporal filter (same format as search_datasets). q: Free-text search to scope the aggregation. Multi-word queries are tokenised on whitespace and OR-combined to mirror search_datasets semantics (aggregate compiles q to CQL2 LIKE clauses on title/description; a raw %multi word% substring match would return 0 for most queries). filter: CQL2-JSON filter as an object or JSON-encoded string. Flat example: {"op": "=", "args": [{"property": "aquaview:institution"}, "NOAA"]}. Nested example: {"op": "<=", "args": [{"property": "aquaview:column_stats_summary.variables.Pressure.min"}, 10]}. license: Comma-separated SPDX license id(s) to scope the aggregation (e.g., "CC-BY-4.0,CC0-1.0"), or one of "public-domain", "proprietary", "various", "unknown". Matched against `aquaview:license`. precision: Grid precision for geo aggregations (1-12, higher = finer grid). Applied to whichever geo aggregation type is requested. datetime_frequency_interval: Interval for datetime_frequency (e.g., "month", "year", "day"). output_format: "csv" (default, sectioned CSV — ~50% fewer tokens than TOON for bucket responses), "json" (structured STAC API response), or "toon". Use "json" for deterministic/structured consumers. Returns: Aggregation res…

get_item ~195

Fetch a single AQUAVIEW dataset item with full details, properties, and download links (assets). STAC items embed assets inline — each asset includes an href (download URL) and media type, so there is no need for a separate "files" call. Args: collection: The collection ID the item belongs to (e.g., "NOAA", "NDBC", "WOD"). Available from search results or list_collections. item_id: The unique item identifier (e.g., "wod_xbt_ZZ144579"). Available from search results. output_format: "toon" (default) or "json". Returns: Full STAC item with geometry, properties (title, description, datetime, institution, variables, etc.), and assets (download links with media types).

list_collections ~164

List all available AQUAVIEW data collections (sources). Returns a summary of each collection with ID, title, description, spatial/temporal extent, and keywords. Use collection IDs to filter searches. Args: output_format: "csv" (default, sectioned CSV — ~20% fewer tokens than TOON for this tabular response), "json", or "toon". Use "json" for deterministic/structured consumers. Returns: List of collections with count. CSV mode emits a single `## collections` section with columns id,title,bbox,temporal,keywords,description; bbox is rendered as "west,south,east,north"; temporal as "min|max"; keywords ";"-joined.

search_datasets ~1,010

Search the AQUAVIEW catalog — a comprehensive collection of 268K+ global oceanographic, atmospheric, and marine datasets from 15 sources (NOAA, NDBC, IOOS, WOD, CoastWatch, etc.), intended for scientific research, data analysis, and environmental monitoring. You must provide at least one of: q, bbox, datetime, collections, filter, or token. Hint: When the user asks for a region, prefer the 'bbox' parameter over including region name in 'q'. Use the geo_hints resource for common bounding boxes. Args: q: Free-text search across title, description, and keywords (e.g., "sea surface temperature"). Case-insensitive, OR logic across terms. bbox: Bounding box as "west,south,east,north" (e.g., "-98,24,-80,31" for Gulf of Mexico). datetime: Temporal filter. Single datetime, range ("2020-01-01T00:00:00Z/2024-12-31T23:59:59Z"), or open-ended ("../2024-01-01T00:00:00Z" or "2020-01-01T00:00:00Z/.."). collections: Comma-separated collection IDs to search within (e.g., "NOAA,NDBC,WOD"). Use list_collections to see available IDs. exclude_collections: Comma-separated collection IDs to omit from results (e.g., "INCIDENT_NEWS" to drop oil-spill reports from free-text searches). Applied as a CQL2 NOT filter, so it composes with `filter`. filter: CQL2-JSON filter as an object or JSON-encoded string. Supports flat and nested property paths. Flat example: {"op": "=", "args": [{"property": "aquaview:institution"}, "NOAA/NCEI"]}. Nested example (filter by per-variable stats summary): {"op": "<=", "args": [{"property": "aquaview:column_stats_summary.variables.Pressure.min"}, 10]}. Supported operators: =, <>, <, >, <=, >=, like, between, in, and, or, not. license: Comma-separated SPDX license id(s) to match exactly (e.g., "CC-BY-4.0,CC0-1.0"). Also accepts the controlled extra values "public-domain", "proprietary", "various", "unknown". Matched against `aquaview:license`, which is normalized on every item regardless of source. sortby: Sort specification as "+…
