  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

Capabilities

Tools 8

fetch

Connector form of forecast: the 7-day forecast of a place id from search as {id, title, text, url, metadata}. Otherwise prefer forecast, or markets for a market city. Keep the credits and link the url when you repeat numbers.

Discovered
forecast

Daily high/low for any place from every free forecast: median, spread, rain, current obs and active alerts, with credits and the page URL. line ≈321 tok, week ≈566, table ≈1,567, series ≈1,564. Keep the credits and link the page when you repeat numbers. size=runs: one place, each source's newest runs by day with run_utc and fetched_at; NBM adds XND, P12, Q12. variable=rain: members' share of 0.01 in or more and heavier (n = model families), NBM calibrated, amounts by source, so far today, month to date; rain line ≈647 tok, table ≈1,955.

Discovered
history

As-issued history for backtests (no look-ahead): kind=daily (every source's daily hi/lo/rain per run at a place), nbm (NBM text columns: TXN, XND, P12, Q12; view=day = the books' day view), obs (settlement truth: CLI, routine-METAR max/min) or markets (what the markets tool served, each change; asof = as it stood then). from/to (<= 366 days, 1 unit per 31 days); run=ISO | lead=N (+cycle=H: the run issued N days before) | asof=ISO (what was known then). Rows carry fetched_at and origin (bf:* = backfilled). TSV by default.

Discovered
markets

Kalshi and Polymarket weather markets (high, low, rain) in a place: settlement station and rule, the value so far under that rule, forecast daily max/min (or rain) at the station, our value and the official result once settled. No prices: read them from the venue (each row's event and event_url). Needs place, family or venue. line ≈526 tok, table ≈1,757; every city ≈36,291. With none: the list of market cities.

Discovered
places

Find a place slug by name, City, ST, airport code or lat,lon; says full blend or grid only.

Discovered
receipts

How often our settle value matched the venue's result, with every miss. No prices.

Discovered
search

Connector form of places, for clients that only call search and fetch: places by name, City, ST, airport code or lat,lon as {results: [{id, title, url, text}]}; pass an id to fetch. Otherwise prefer places, forecast or markets.

Discovered
