    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    active_firesFire clusters detected by satellite over the last N hours (default 24), worldwide or filtered by ISO-2 country, bounding box, or a point with a radius. Returns up to `limit` clusters ranked by relevance (corroborated and recent first). Use for 'is there a fire near X right now' or 'wildfires in <country> today'. Each cluster: position, first/last satellite pass (UTC), detections per sensor, peak fire radiative power (MW), confidence (possible | probable | corrobore = cross-checked with witnesses).
    fire_archive_searchSearch kanari's archive of significant wildfires (since 2026-08-03): by ISO-2 country, date range or month, minimum detections or power, status. Each result has a permanent page URL (kanari.io/fr/feu/<slug>). Use for 'what fires happened in <country> in <month>', 'biggest fires this week', 'is the fire near X still active'.
    fire_detailsFull record of an archived fire by its slug (from fire_archive_search or a kanari.io/fr/feu/<slug> URL): timeline, detections per sensor, peak power, status, witness posts, first press article, aircraft observed on zone.
    wildfire_statsAggregated figures from kanari's archive for a period (today, 7d, 30d, a calendar month, or all since 2026-08-03), worldwide or for one ISO-2 country: number of significant fires, active ones, fires with witnesses or aircraft, peak power, daily series, most affected countries and French departments, biggest fires with URLs. Includes a ready-to-cite sentence with the source.
    firefighting_aircraftNear real-time ADS-B positions of water bombers and firefighting helicopters worldwide (Canadair CL-415/CL-215, Air Tractor Fire Boss, DC-10 / BAe 146 tankers, S-64 Air Crane, Firehawk…). Optional ISO-2 filter on the aircraft's country of registration. Coverage and aircraft identification are incomplete; some equipped helicopters also operate at night.
    earliness_casesAutomatic geographic matches between satellite and press timestamps over 72 h. Includes positive and negative gaps; median over all valid matches. Not kanari alert publication time, not proof of distinct fires or a lead over emergency services. Source article links when available.
