Gillby

Fetch a public camera JPEG with source timestamp metadata for the Gillby panel. Returns image bytes through MCP, without a browser network request.

get_camera_image

Canal discharge and freshwater releases from the published agency dataset, with source and availability. Empty reports do not establish safe conditions. Units: ft, kt, s, F, mi; directions FROM. Returns data and source/freshness metadata.

get_canal_discharges

Gillby's native 0-10 chop series: the latest 72 hours publicly, up to 31 days with a free Gillby account (OAuth sign-in); daily mean/max, coverage and 7-day trends. Recorded outputs and historical model reconstructions are identified separately. Never replace these with assistant-defined Calm/Moderate/Rough cutoffs or fabricate gaps. For chop history or trends use get_chop_history with a verified spot ID. Preserve recorded versus reconstructed provenance, native 0–10 index and labels, coverage and gaps. Never invent assistant-defined rough/calm thresholds or silently substitute wave/wind series for native chop. Units: ft, kt, s, F, mi; directions FROM. Returns data and source/freshness metadata.

get_chop_history

Weather and marine conditions at up to five ordered spot IDs. Checks sampled stops only; does not create a navigable route or check depth, bridges, zones, or conditions between stops. Units: ft, kt, s, F, mi; directions FROM. Returns data and source/freshness metadata.

check_route_conditions

Cloud cover for a verified spot over the next hours. Includes timestamp, source status and explicit nulls when unavailable. Water temperature is F; atmospheric visibility is mi, not underwater visibility; current sign follows the assigned station convention. Units: ft, kt, s, F, mi; directions FROM. Returns data and source/freshness metadata.

get_cloud_cover

Coastal national park alerts and closures from the published agency dataset, with source and availability. Empty reports do not establish safe conditions. Units: ft, kt, s, F, mi; directions FROM. Returns data and source/freshness metadata.

get_park_alerts

Compare current conditions for up to five verified comma-separated spot IDs. Partial failures remain explicit. Units: ft, kt, s, F, mi; directions FROM. Returns data and source/freshness metadata.

compare_spots

Published wave-model series and model spread for a spot; absent models stay unavailable. Units: ft, kt, s, F, mi; directions FROM. Returns data and source/freshness metadata.

get_wave_models

The full conditions bundle for a named spot: current waves (ft, s, deg FROM), wind (kt), tide (ft MLLW), water temp (F), activity scores with reasons, 7-day hourly forecast, hi/lo tides, best windows, NWS alerts, rip/red tide/bacteria hazards, lightning and an AI briefing. Kitesurf: kiteboarding contains rider-specific weather screening and unverified launch status; supply kiteStyle, kiteExperience, kiteMinWindKt and kiteMaxWindKt. No overall kite score or verified launch is implied. Activities: kite, surf, skim (flatland), skim-wave (wave riding), paddle (flatwater paddleboard), sup-surf (SUP surf). Skim scores are absent without shoreline observations; do not substitute other activity scores. Prefer view=summary unless you need every hour. boat=<id> adds boat-specific chop comfort. For an arbitrary lat/lon use get_point_conditions. Start here for a current spot question with view=summary: this single result includes forecast, tides, scores, advisories, hazards, lightning and source status. Avoid duplicate hazard/tide calls unless a needed detail is absent. For beach questions, sea-model wave heights and NWS breaking-surf heights measure different things; their difference alone is not a forecast conflict. A swim no-go must not be followed by a recommendation to wade. Interpretation: omit boat unless the user supplied or confirmed it. Describe lightning as flashes observed or not detected in the stated window, never a clear/safe guarantee. Report unavailable/QC-failed sources even when freshness.stale=false; fresh does not mean every source is usable. Model sea height is not breaking surf height. Tide heights at different local MLLW gauges do not establish relative channel depths. High tide is not necessarily slack current. For kitesurfing use get_conditions with kiteStyle (freeride/waves/foil), kiteExperience and rider-supplied kiteMinWindKt/kiteMaxWindKt. Read kiteboarding for weather screening, gust spread and explicitly unverified launch status. Never infer the rider wind range, legal launch access or rescue coverage. Activity keys: kite, surf, skim (flatland), skim-wave (wave riding), paddle (flatwater paddleboard), sup-surf (SUP surf). Skim suitability is unscored without shoreline observations; missing scores must not inherit another activity. Offshore wind can favor surf while increasing paddleboard drift risk. A point depth cannot prove route clearance. Do not invent detection percentages, future readings, vessel ownership, or app settings instructions. Units: ft, kt, s, F, mi; directions FROM. Returns data and source/freshness metadata.

get_conditions

Coral heat stress and bleaching outlook from the published agency dataset, with source and availability. Empty reports do not establish safe conditions. Units: ft, kt, s, F, mi; directions FROM. Returns data and source/freshness metadata.

get_coral_heat

Published Florida mahi, blue/white marlin, tarpon and snook evidence: dated NOAA commercial catches and research/community occurrences, source/license credits, coordinate uncertainty, seasonal record counts and configurable 0.25/0.10/0.05/0.02/0.01/0.005-degree heatmap cells. Historical records are not live fish locations, migration tracks, abundance, catch rates or catch probabilities. Sampling/fishing effort is uncorrected; absent records do not establish fish absence. from/to are inclusive YYYY-MM-DD observation dates; month pools all selected years. Source check time is not observation time. Recency weighting defaults to recent: exponential 365-day half-life based on observation dates, not source retrieval. weighting=historical gives equal weights. No upstream downloads on tool calls. Preserve species, observation dates, source credits, coordinate uncertainty, query coverage, partial/stale flags and fishing-effort bias. Heatmap color is record density, never fish abundance or catch odds. Commercial catches and occurrences must remain distinguishable. No generated migration paths. Units: ft, kt, s, F, mi; directions FROM. Returns data and source/freshness metadata.

Units: ft, kt, s, F, mi; directions FROM. Returns data and source/freshness metadata.

list_datasets

Predicted high and low tides (ft above MLLW, NOAA CO-OPS) for the next `days` days at a spot or lat+lon, the hourly tide height curve and inlet current (kt, + flood / - ebb), plus sunrise/sunset and moon phase. Times are ISO with the Eastern offset. Interpretation: omit boat unless the user supplied or confirmed it. Describe lightning as flashes observed or not detected in the stated window, never a clear/safe guarantee. Report unavailable/QC-failed sources even when freshness.stale=false; fresh does not mean every source is usable. Model sea height is not breaking surf height. Tide heights at different local MLLW gauges do not establish relative channel depths. High tide is not necessarily slack current. For kitesurfing use get_conditions with kiteStyle (freeride/waves/foil), kiteExperience and rider-supplied kiteMinWindKt/kiteMaxWindKt. Read kiteboarding for weather screening, gust spread and explicitly unverified launch status. Never infer the rider wind range, legal launch access or rescue coverage. Activity keys: kite, surf, skim (flatland), skim-wave (wave riding), paddle (flatwater paddleboard), sup-surf (SUP surf). Skim suitability is unscored without shoreline observations; missing scores must not inherit another activity. Offshore wind can favor surf while increasing paddleboard drift risk. A point depth cannot prove route clearance. Do not invent detection percentages, future readings, vessel ownership, or app settings instructions. Units: ft, kt, s, F, mi; directions FROM. Returns data and source/freshness metadata.

get_tides

Hourly forecast for a spot (or lat+lon) starting at `time` (default now) for `hours` hours: waves, swell/wind-wave split, wind, gusts, tide, current, precip/thunder chance, and go/caution/nogo scores with reasons per activity. Also returns 7 daily score rows and best windows. Units: ft, s, kt, deg FROM, F. Use one call per spot for a time-window comparison; request only the hours needed. Hourly rows include tide/current and score reasons. Do not infer one inlet has deeper water by comparing local tide heights. Interpretation: omit boat unless the user supplied or confirmed it. Describe lightning as flashes observed or not detected in the stated window, never a clear/safe guarantee. Report unavailable/QC-failed sources even when freshness.stale=false; fresh does not mean every source is usable. Model sea height is not breaking surf height. Tide heights at different local MLLW gauges do not establish relative channel depths. High tide is not necessarily slack current. For kitesurfing use get_conditions with kiteStyle (freeride/waves/foil), kiteExperience and rider-supplied kiteMinWindKt/kiteMaxWindKt.

Skim suitability is unscored without shoreline observations; missing scores must not inherit another activity. Offshore wind can favor surf while increasing paddleboard drift risk. A point depth cannot prove route clearance. Do not invent detection percentages, future readings, vessel ownership, or app settings instructions. Units: ft, kt, s, F, mi; directions FROM. Returns data and source/freshness metadata.

get_forecast

Actual NOAA ENC chart depth and optional DEM depth at a Florida coordinate, with charted hazards, channel context and restriction zones. A point check does not prove clearance along a route. Interpretation: omit boat unless the user supplied or confirmed it. Describe lightning as flashes observed or not detected in the stated window, never a clear/safe guarantee. Report unavailable/QC-failed sources even when freshness.stale=false; fresh does not mean every source is usable. Model sea height is not breaking surf height.

Returns data and source/freshness metadata.

get_depth

Published Florida jellyfish, box jellyfish and man-of-war observations from OBIS and iNaturalist, with observation dates, uncertainty, observer credits and licenses. Includes official Boca Raton/Fort Lauderdale lifeguard-report links. Community records are not live beach warnings; no sightings does not establish absence. Man-of-war are siphonophores. Use bbox to narrow the sample; limit defaults to 20 (maximum 100). Shark, jellyfish and man-of-war records are dated published observations, not live tracking, beach warnings, abundance estimates or swimming-safety scores. Preserve observation dates, uncertainty, attribution and source availability. No records does not mean the animals are absent. Source checked time is not observation time. Man-of-war are siphonophores, not true jellyfish. Local lifeguard links are not ingested current warnings; check the source report date. Never apply NOAA's Chesapeake sea-nettle forecast to Florida. Units: ft, kt, s, F, mi; directions FROM. Returns data and source/freshness metadata.

get_jellyfish_observations

get_observations

GOES-19 GLM lightning. With lat+lon: level (clear | watch 10-25 mi | danger < 10 mi in the last 5 min), nearest strike distance (mi) and time, strikes in 15 min, all-clear time (30 min after the last strike within 10 mi), SPC thunder outlook, and the last 30 min of flashes. Without lat/lon: status per spot. When the feed is stale, status is null and unavailableReason explains why (never a false 'clear'). Prefer list_spots for named spot coordinates. State no flashes detected in the observed window rather than no lightning exists. Stale/incomplete coverage means unknown. Do not supply detection rates that are absent from this result. Interpretation: omit boat unless the user supplied or confirmed it. Describe lightning as flashes observed or not detected in the stated window, never a clear/safe guarantee. Report unavailable/QC-failed sources even when freshness.stale=false; fresh does not mean every source is usable. Model sea height is not breaking surf height. Tide heights at different local MLLW gauges do not establish relative channel depths. High tide is not necessarily slack current.
