Tools (30 tools)

Publisher-provided text

• list_datasets List datasets available on GDEX, with their IDs and titles. The full catalog has ~1700 datasets — far too many to return at once. Always pass `query` t
• get_dataset_metadata Return full metadata for a GDEX dataset (parameters, temporal range, spatial coverage, etc.). Args: dsid: Dataset ID (dNNNNNN), e.g. d083002
• get_dataset_field Return one metadata field for a dataset. Prefer describe_dataset when the user wants a general summary covering several of these at once (abstract, tem
• describe_dataset Return a combined overview of a dataset — abstract, temporal coverage, spatial coverage, variables, data formats, and volume — in a single call. Prefer
• get_file_groups Return file groups for a dataset. Pass gindex to get child groups under a parent. Groups nest (dataset -> format -> year -> month, or similar, varying by
• get_dataset_files Return a paginated file listing for a dataset or a specific group. Depending on how deep gindex is in the group hierarchy, this returns either actual f
• find_dataset_files Search a dataset's file-group hierarchy for files matching a name pattern (e.g. a date like "20220808"), without ever pulling a large, context-blowing f
• get_filesearch_datatypes Return the file-search datatypes available for a dataset (a subset of "grid", "cyclone_fix", "sensor"). Call this before the other filesearch_* tools to
• get_filesearch_grid_filters Return the valid parameter/product/grid/level codes and date range for "grid" datatype file search on a dataset. Use this to discover the codes to pass
• get_filesearch_cyclone_fix_filters Return the valid date range and other filters for "cyclone_fix" datatype file search on a dataset. Args: dsid: Dataset ID (dNNNNNN), e.g. d0830
• get_filesearch_sensor_filters Return the valid date range and other filters for "sensor" datatype file search on a dataset. Args: dsid: Dataset ID (dNNNNNN), e.g. d083002
• get_filesearch_grid_files Search for data files containing "grid" datatype data, filtered by parameter code(s) and optionally by time range, product, grid, or level. Results are
• get_filesearch_cyclone_fix_files Search for data files containing "cyclone_fix" datatype data, optionally filtered by time range. Results are paginated; use get_filesearch_result_page w
• get_filesearch_sensor_files Search for data files containing "sensor" datatype data, optionally filtered by date range. Results are paginated; use get_filesearch_result_page with t
• get_filesearch_result_page Return a page of results from a previous get_filesearch_*_files call, by its result_id. Use this to page through file-search results beyond the first pa
• get_data_access Return data access options for a dataset — download links, Globus URLs, access methods. Args: dsid: Dataset ID (dNNNNNN), e.g. d083002
• has_arco Check whether Analysis-Ready Cloud-Optimized (ARCO) data is available for a dataset. For analysis tasks, call this (and check for a "Kerchunk Reference Fil
• get_arco_variables Return the list of ARCO variables available for a dataset. Each row's type (index 2) is either "zarr" or "reference" (kerchunk). A "reference" variable
• search_arco_variables Search ARCO variables by name for a dataset. As with get_arco_variables, a "reference" (kerchunk) match is often listed once per variant — always pick
• get_portal_metrics Return a GDEX portal-wide metric. Args: metric: One of: volume_downloaded, unique_users, total_datasets, total_citations, gdex_volu
• get_dataset_metrics Return a per-dataset metric. Args: dsid: Dataset ID (dNNNNNN), e.g. d083002 metric: One of: users_month, users_year, volume_month, volume_y
• get_staff Return GDEX staff contacts, optionally filtered to a specific dataset. Args: dsid: Optional dataset ID. If omitted, returns all staff.
• list_request_statuses List all subsetting request statuses for the authenticated user. Requires GDEX_TOKEN.
• check_request_status Check the status of a specific subsetting request. Requires GDEX_TOKEN. Args: rindex: Request index/ID
• get_request_files Return the output files for a completed subsetting request. Requires GDEX_TOKEN. Args: rindex: Request index/ID
• get_control_file_template Return the control file template for building a subsetting request for a dataset. Args: dsid: Dataset ID (dNNNNNN), e.g. d083002
• validate_subset_request Check a subset request body against the dataset's control file template, without submitting anything. Use this before submit_subset_request to catch mis
• submit_subset_request Submit a data subset request to GDEX. Requires GDEX_TOKEN. Args: request_json: JSON string of the subsetting request body. Use get_control_file_tem
• submit_and_wait_for_request Submit a subset request and poll its status until it finishes, fails, or timeout_s elapses — instead of calling submit_subset_request and then manually
• purge_request Delete a subsetting request and its output files. Requires GDEX_TOKEN. Args: rindex: Request index/ID to purge
