Tools

• count_earthquakes ~699 tokens
  Count earthquakes matching a filter without returning the events — fast for questions like "how many M5+ quakes in the last 7 days near X". Same filters as search_earthquakes (time, magnitude, circular area); for "last N days/hours" questions pass `days`/`hours` rather than computing start_time your
• get_earthquake ~133 tokens
  Get full detail for a single earthquake by its USGS event id (e.g. "us7000n7n8"). Returns magnitude, location, time, depth, felt reports, tsunami flag, PAGER alert level, status, contributing networks, and detail URLs. Keyless.
• search_earthquakes ~829 tokens
  Search the USGS earthquake catalog (FDSNWS event API) for real-time and historical seismic events. Filter by time window, magnitude, depth, and a circular geographic area. For "last N days/hours" questions pass `days`/`hours` rather than computing start_time yourself. Returns a compact list of quake
