Tide Station Details: Location, Sensors, Datums (NOAA Tides & Currents)

noaacoops/station-info

Details of a NOAA tide and water-level station by its id: name, latitude and longitude, state, time zone, whether it is tidal, the tide type, and optionally its sensors, tidal datums or product pages. Use it to check that a station id exists and measures what you need (wind, water level, water temperature) before asking for readings. It looks up one station by id; it cannot search by place. NOAA Tides & Currents data, passed through unmodified and served by Omnial; not an official NOAA product.

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

// 2. inspect: price and input schema
omnial_inspect({ tool: "noaacoops/station-info" })

// 3. learn: read the usage guide at runtime
omnial_learn({ tool: "noaacoops/station-info" })

// 4. run: price the exact call first, then run it
