Filter complete families by nameContains before paging. Use state for counties or climate_divisions; huc requires hucLevel 2, 4, 6 or 8 and accepts a shorter parentHuc. Follow nextCursor with the same filters to browse every match.
Get current or dated drought severity, cumulative and categorical area percentages, area square miles, supported population counts and experimental upstream DSCI. Resolve identifiers with drought_list_reference. DSCI changes use exactly 4 and 52 weeks earlier; missing observations remain null. US selects both CONUS and Total.
Get weekly drought metrics and experimental DSCI for 1–100 explicit areas sharing one geography type and HUC level. Resolve identifiers with drought_list_reference. Dates select inclusive Tuesday map weeks. Missing values remain null; summaries include every tied peak. Complete large results are staged; use the returned dataframe tools to read every row.
Rank all supported states, or counties within an optional state, on one published map. Omit state for nationwide supported counties. With baselineDate, rank target minus exact baseline; missing sides are excluded explicitly. Equal values share competition rank. limit controls a staged preview, never discards comparable rows.
Get authoritative consecutive streaks or non-consecutive week counts when any county area meets the selected drought category or worse. Supply states or one county, never both; omitted selectors mean supported nationwide counties. Counts are duration statistics, not program eligibility. Follow nextCursor with unchanged filters within five minutes.
Run one DuckDB read expression against staged drought tables, optionally ending with one semicolon. Get canvas_id from drought_get_timeseries or drought_compare_areas and inspect columns with drought_dataframe_describe. For every original row, SELECT * FROM the table ORDER BY row_id and follow next_offset until null. Arbitrary SQL pagination requires your own stable ORDER BY. Exact totals require SELECT COUNT(*).
Inspect tables and column types in a canvas_id returned by drought_get_timeseries or drought_compare_areas. Supply table_name for its complete source query, area/date/metric, units, missing-data and provenance metadata. Omit table_name for bounded schema summaries. Tokens are shareable capabilities and expire; this tool never lists other tokens.
Remove one disposable staged drought table using its exact canvas_id and table_name. This deletes only the analytical copy, never source data. dropped false means the table was already absent. This operation is available only when table removal is enabled.
No tools match the current filter.
