firms_data_availability ~206 tokens
Which dates each NASA FIRMS satellite product actually covers — the first and last date available per sensor, for near-real-time and standard-processing streams. Call this before querying a historical date so an empty hotspot result can be read as "outside the archive" rather than "no fires".

"Where are the wildfires in California right now" / "active fire detections over Greece this week" — satellite thermal-anomaly (active fire) detections inside a bounding box, from NASA FIRMS. AUTHORITATIVE for where something is actually burning right now: these are pixels a MODIS or VIIRS sensor me
firms_hotspots_near ~491 tokens
"Are there any fires near Boulder, Colorado?" / "active fire detections within 50 km of this point" — NASA FIRMS satellite hotspot detections around a latitude/longitude, sorted nearest first with the distance in km.
