Latest Gamma Dose Rate in a Map Area in Germany (BfS ODL-Info)
odlinfo/latest-dose-rate-bbox
The newest hourly ambient gamma dose rate (microsievert per hour, with cosmic and terrestrial parts) of every German BfS ODL measuring station inside a longitude and latitude bounding box (WGS 84), with each station's name, postal code, height and operating status. Keep the box small, such as a city and its surroundings: at most max_stations stations are returned. An area with no station returns an empty list. Data from the Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz (BfS); served by Eden Engine; not an official BfS product.
Price
$0.0026 per call

Data source
Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz (BfS)
Data from the Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz (BfS), ODL-Info, Datenlizenz Deutschland – Namensnennung – Version 2.0. Reduced to the hourly measurement features of the requested station or area; values are otherwise unmodified. Served by Eden Engine; not an official Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz 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
