Argo Float Profile Files by Cycle (Argo GDAC)
ifremerargogdac/float-profiles
Lists the per-cycle profile files the Argo Global Data Assembly Center holds for one float, given its data assembly centre and 7-digit WMO number (for example coriolis and 1900063): file name, cycle number, whether it is the descending profile, the real-time (R) or delayed-mode (D) prefix, last-modified time and size. Up to 2000 entries, listed in cycle order. Returns directory metadata only, never the NetCDF measurement files. An unknown float returns an error. Argo float index information passed through and served by Eden Engine; not an official Ifremer or Argo product.
Price
$0.0026 per call
You pay the price shown. If a call turns out to cost more than its quote, you pay the actual price, capped at twice the quote. No monthly minimum. Top-ups start at $0.50.
Data source
Argo Global Data Assembly Center (Ifremer)
Argo float directory and profile index information from the Argo Global Data Assembly Center operated by Ifremer (Coriolis); cite the Argo programme (https://argo.ucsd.edu). Served by Eden Engine; not an official Ifremer or Argo product.
Use it
Five steps: search, inspect, learn, run, settle. No per-tool setup; your agent reaches this tool through the meta-tools it already has.
Connect once and your AI can find and run this tool, and any other it needs.
// 1. search: find the tool
omnial_search({ query: "what you need" })
// 2. inspect: price and input schema
omnial_inspect({ tool: "ifremerargogdac/float-profiles" })
// 3. learn: read the usage guide at runtime
omnial_learn({ tool: "ifremerargogdac/float-profiles" })
// 4. run: price the exact call first, then run it
omnial_execute({ tool: "ifremerargogdac/float-profiles", input: { /* see input_schema */ }, dry_run: true })
omnial_execute({ tool: "ifremerargogdac/float-profiles", input: { /* ... */ } })
// 5. settle: the call is charged when it finishes, nothing to doNot connected yet? Point your MCP client at https://mcp.eden-engine.com/mcp, then copy a config for your client.
