World Port Index Port Details by Name (NGA)

nga/port-by-name

Looks up World Port Index entries by port name (case-insensitive): harbor size and type, shelter, channel, anchorage and pier depths, vessel limits, pilotage, tugs, cargo handling, supply and repair facilities for vessel planning. A name with no match returns an empty list. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency data, passed through unmodified and served by Eden Engine; not an official NGA product.

// 1. search: find the tool
omnial_search({ query: "what you need" })

// 2. inspect: price and input schema
omnial_inspect({ tool: "nga/port-by-name" })

// 3. learn: read the usage guide at runtime
omnial_learn({ tool: "nga/port-by-name" })

// 4. run: price the exact call first, then run it
omnial_execute({ tool: "nga/port-by-name", input: { /* see input_schema */ }, dry_run: true })
