    get_catalogList the current catalog-published data packs and their access lanes. Start here, then call get_pack for one selected pack.
    get_packDescribe one catalog-published pack, including sources, metrics, coverage, freshness, access, and a first query. Call this before querying an unfamiliar pack.
    get_disaster_links_for_eventReturn published cross-hazard links for one exact event ID. Use a canonical event row to obtain the ID first.
    get_disaster_link_chainExpand one exact event ID into a bounded published cross-hazard chain. Use a canonical event row to obtain the ID first.
    search_disaster_linksFind published cross-hazard relationship families by event type and optional year range before choosing an exact event.
    get_earthquake_eventsQuery canonical earthquake history with structured metrics, filters, sorting, and a row limit. Use get_live_earthquake_events only for preliminary upstream data.
    get_live_earthquake_eventsFetch recent preliminary USGS earthquake events in the shared data-result shape. Use get_earthquake_events for canonical enriched history.
