National Map Dataset Catalogue: What USGS Elevation, Boundary and Map Data Can Be Downloaded (USGS)

usgstnm/list-datasets

Lists the dataset families The National Map (U.S. Geological Survey) distributes, with no input: for each one its title, the dataset tag to pass to the product search, a description, refresh cycle, last published and updated dates, file formats, extent, a data.gov page and the sub-datasets under it. About 43 KB per call. Use it to learn what can be downloaded and what each dataset is called before searching its products. U.S. Geological Survey data, passed through unmodified and served by Eden Engine; not an official USGS product.

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

// 2. inspect: price and input schema
omnial_inspect({ tool: "usgstnm/list-datasets" })

// 3. learn: read the usage guide at runtime
omnial_learn({ tool: "usgstnm/list-datasets" })

// 4. run: price the exact call first, then run it
omnial_execute({ tool: "usgstnm/list-datasets", input: { /* see input_schema */ }, dry_run: true })
omnial_execute({ tool: "usgstnm/list-datasets", input: { /* ... */ } })

// 5. settle: the call is charged when it finishes, nothing to do
