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

- `get\_citations`: Discover citation records directly associated with a collection, or look up a citation by identifier \(e.g. DOI\). Use this tool to evaluate citation relevance for a collection. Key fields in each returned item: - concept\_id: CMR citation concept ID - name: The title or name of the citation - identifi
- `get\_collections`: Search NASA CMR collections and return up to 10 lightweight normalized results. Key return fields in each item: - concept\_id: CMR collection concept ID - native\_id: native ID of the collection record - revision\_id: revision ID of the collection metadata - provider\_id: provider ID of the collection -
- `get\_granules`: Search NASA CMR granules for a specific parent collection and return up to 10 lightweight normalized results. Key return fields in each item: - concept\_id: CMR granule concept ID - native\_id: native ID of the granule record - revision\_id: revision ID of the granule metadata - provider\_id: provider I
- `get\_keywords`: Discover official Earthdata vocabulary \(like 'ATMOSPHERIC WATER VAPOR'\) directly from NASA's Keyword Management System \(KMS\). Use this to find the exact preferred labels to construct successful get\_collections searches. Key fields in each returned item: - prefLabel: The preferred label to use in sea
- `get\_services`: Search NASA CMR services for a specific parent collection and return all associated normalized UMM-S records. Key fields in each returned item: - concept\_id: CMR service concept ID - native\_id: native ID of the service record - revision\_id: revision ID of the service metadata - provider\_id: provider
- `get\_tools`: Search NASA CMR tools for a specific parent collection and return all associated normalized UMM-T records. Key fields in each returned item: - concept\_id: CMR tool concept ID - native\_id: native ID of the tool record - revision\_id: revision ID of the tool metadata - provider\_id: provider ID of the t
- `get\_variables`: Discover scientific variables and measurements associated with a collection, or look up variables by keyword. Use this tool to understand dataset variables, dimensions, and data processing parameters \(such as scale, offset, and fill values\) before downloading or analyzing data. Key fields in each re
