Context Cost
This is the approximate number of tokens consumed each time the server's tools are loaded into a model's context. Higher counts reduce the attention available for other tasks.

Tool inventory
Tools (7)
🟢search_places(query, lat, lon, language)
Find locations and their Meteosource place_id. Use this first to resolve city names, postal codes or coordinates into place_id values for the other weather tools. Provide either `query` (place name or postal code) to search, or `lat` + `lon` to find the nearest known place. Returns up to 10 matches ordered by relevance, each with place_id, administrative area, country, coordinates and timezone. Note: lat/lon are returned in degree-letter format (e.g. "50.08804N").

}🟢get_forecast(locations, sections, hours, days, variables, ...)
Weather forecast for up to 20 locations in one call. Sections (comma-separated): 'current' (now), 'hourly' (up to 168 h ahead, trimmed to `hours`), 'daily' (up to 30 days ahead, trimmed to `days`), 'minutely' (precipitation minute-by-minute, higher tiers), 'alerts' (official weather warnings, startup tier and above), or 'all'. Use `variables` to keep only specific fields (e.g. ["temperature", "wind", "precipitation", "probability", "irradiance"]) and reduce output size — recommended when querying many locations. Timezone defaults to each location's local time; units default per-country ('metric' forces SI). Forecast horizon depends on the subscription tier (free: 7 days). Output: time series (hourly, daily, minutely) are tables — `columns` listed once and `rows` as arrays in column order; nested API groups are flattened with underscores (wind_speed, probability_storm, cloud_cover_total). `units` is given once at the top level when it is the same for every location.

}🟢get_alerts(locations, language)
Official weather warnings (severe weather alerts) for up to 20 locations. Returns only locations that currently have an active alert, with event type, severity, validity window and headline — an empty list means all clear. Cheap to call frequently; designed for monitoring/polling. Coverage: USA, EU countries and Canada. Requires the startup tier or higher (not available on the free tier).

}🟡get_weather_history(locations, date_from, date_to, granularity, variables, ...)
Historical weather (archive) with server-side aggregation. The archive holds 20 years, but how much of it a key may read depends on its plan: startup includes the last 7 days, standard the last year, premium and flexi all 20 years; byvalue reaches 366 days back and no further. Older days need Meteosource's paid historical add-on (billed per location and day); without it the API refuses such a day with "not allowed to access historical data this old", reported per location, so start inside the plan's range. Dates are YYYY-MM-DD, inclusive. Granularity: 'hourly' (raw hours, max 14 days per call), 'daily' (per-day min/max/avg/sum statistics, max 366 days) or 'monthly' (folded from daily, max 366 days per call — call repeatedly for multi-year analyses; results are cached so repeats are cheap). Variables (default: temperature, precipitation, wind): cape, cloud_cover, dew_point, evaporation, feels_like, humidity, irradiance, ozone, precipitation, precipitation_type, pressure, soil_temperature, surface_temperature, temperature, weather, wind, wind_distribution. Aggregations per variable: temperature min/max/avg, precipitation sum, wind speed avg + gusts max, irradiance sum in Wh/m2 (useful for PV analysis), weather = most frequent code of the day, precipitation_types = kinds seen that day (e.g. "rain,snow"; "none" when dry) — use weather and precipitation_type to document what happened (snow, fog, thunderstorm). wind_distribution (daily/monthly; for wind-turbine siting) = hours per 10 m wind-speed bin (wind_hours_0_2 … wind_hours_10_plus) and wind_power_density_w_m2 = 1/2 * 1.225 * mean(v^3) at 10 m — scale to hub height yourself (the API has no hub-height wind). `normals=true` (daily/monthly) adds long-term columns for each calendar day: temperature_normal_avg/min/max, temperature_record_min/max, wind_normal_speed, wind_record_gusts, precipitation_normal_sum and precipitation_normal_probability — compare a period with its normal in one call. Each location+day costs one API request on first fetch; a single call is capped at 400 location-days — split longer ranges into multiple calls. Not available on the free tier (startup+). Output: `columns` once at the top level; each location has `rows` as arrays in column order (a year of daily rows is ~15 kB).

}🟢get_air_quality(locations, hours, variables, timezone)
Hourly air-quality (smog) forecast for up to 20 locations, about 4 days ahead. Columns: `air_quality` (index, 1 = good, higher = worse) and pollutant surface concentrations — default pm10, pm25, no2_surface, so2_surface, ozone_surface; also available via `variables`: co_surface, no_surface, ozone_total, aerosol_550, dust_550nm, dust_mixing_ratio_05. Output is a table per location (`columns` once, `rows` as arrays), trimmed to `hours`. Not available on the free tier.

}🟡get_solar_production(sites, date_from, date_to, granularity, variables, ...)
Production of photovoltaic systems, past and forecast, for up to 20 sites. Each site is lat + lon plus the installation: module_kw (installed kWp; use 1 to get specific yield per kWp), inverter_kw (defaults to module_kw), tilt (degrees from horizontal, default 30) and orientation (azimuth the modules face, clockwise from north: 180 = south, the default). Dates are YYYY-MM-DD, inclusive, from up to 20 years back to 4 days ahead, so one call can cover last week's actual weather and the coming days. The renewables plan includes the last 3 years; older days need the paid historical add-on, otherwise the API refuses them ("historical data this old"), reported per site. Granularity: 'hourly' (power at each full hour, max 14 days per call), 'daily' or 'monthly' (energy, max 366 days per call — call repeatedly for multi-year yield; past days are cached so repeats are cheap). Columns: production_kw = output of the system at that hour (an instantaneous value); production_kwh = energy of the day or month, summed from those hourly values; production_max_kw = its peak. `variables` adds the weather behind the production: irradiance (ghi, dni, dhi in W/m2 hourly; ghi/dni/dhi_sum_wh_m2 daily and monthly), temperature, cloud_cover, humidity, dew_point, pressure, snowfall (flag per hour; snowfall_hours daily and monthly). Each site+day costs one API request on first fetch; a single call is capped at 400 site-days — split longer ranges into multiple calls. Needs a key on the renewables tier. Output: `columns` once at the top level; each site has `rows` as arrays in column order.

Production of wind farms, past and forecast, for up to 20 sites. Each site is lat + lon plus the farm: turbine_model (catalogue below), exactly one of turbine_count or total_capacity (MW), hub_height (metres, default 100) and roughness of the surrounding terrain (water, open, farmland — the default, suburban, urban). Dates are YYYY-MM-DD, inclusive, from up to 20 years back to 4 days ahead, so one call can cover last week's actual weather and the coming days. The renewables plan includes the last 3 years; older days need the paid historical add-on, otherwise the API refuses them ("historical data this old"), reported per site. Granularity: 'hourly' (power at each full hour, max 14 days per call), 'daily' or 'monthly' (energy, max 366 days per call — call repeatedly for multi-year yield; past days are cached so repeats are cheap). Columns: production_mw = output of the whole farm at that hour (an instantaneous value); production_mwh = energy of the day or month, summed from those hourly values; production_max_mw = its peak. `variables` adds the weather behind the production: wind (10 m above ground, not hub height: wind_10m_speed, wind_10m_gusts and wind_10m_angle hourly; speed avg/max and gusts max daily and monthly), temperature, dew_point, pressure.
