## Tools (as reported by the server, not verified)

- `elevation\_get\_points`: Look up ground elevation at up to 100 coordinates in one call, in meters and feet, with the dataset and resolution behind every point. Accepts up to 1,000 submitted positions; only the first 100 are validated and sampled, with counts and next\_offset identifying the unvalidated remainder. Continue wi
- `elevation\_get\_profile`: Sample terrain elevation at evenly spaced points along a route \(a polyline of 2–1,000 vertices\) and summarize it. Returns total distance, cumulative ascent and descent, start, end, minimum, and maximum elevation, and the steepest climb and descent grades, plus the per-sample profile with each sample
- `elevation\_get\_grid`: Sample a regular grid of terrain elevations across a bounding box and report the highest and lowest sampled points, the mean elevation, and the relief, plus the full elevation matrix with each cell's dataset. Values are point samples at grid nodes \(box edges included\), not cell averages, so a summit
- `elevation\_check\_line\_of\_sight`: Check whether terrain blocks the straight sightline between an observer and a target, each at a height above the ground, accounting for earth curvature and atmospheric refraction. Returns a verdict of clear, blocked, or indeterminate \(when samples along the line have no data\), the minimum clearance
