Choose data or geometry to list published pack IDs or family and scope IDs. The response includes a complete catalog download URL. Use get_pack for data or get_geography for geometry. Current catalog: The same geography tools work worldwide across a cataloged baseline of 252 geographic entities, reaching up to Admin 2. Where additional country releases are available, the same calls automatically return deeper administrative tiers or maintained reference families. Additional detail is currently available for Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Mexico, United Kingdom, United States.

}Retrieve rows from one selected published data pack using exact metrics, loc_id-based region filters, time/metric filters, sorting, and a row limit. Disaster event rows include stable event_id values for get_event drill-down. A parent administrative loc_id selects matching descendant rows at the pack's published grain. Call get_pack first; geometry families use their focused next-step tools.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| sort | any | Sort by a sortable field from get_pack; direction defaults to asc. |
| limit | integer | Maximum number of rows to return for the requested source or pack. |
| output | object | Optional response controls. v1 supports rows only. |
| filters* | object | |
| metrics* | array | Exact metric ids from get_pack. Use event_count for aggregate counts only when get_pack publishes it. |
| pack_id* | string | Pack identifier from get_catalog. Newly catalog-admitted packs require no MCP schema change. |
| request_id | string | Optional caller-supplied request id for tracing and idempotency. |
