Frequently asked questions
What does 'potentially hazardous' mean?
A Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA) passes within 0.05 AU (~7.5 million km) and is larger than 140 meters. This doesn't mean it will hit Earth — just that its orbit warrants monitoring.
How frequently is the asteroid data updated?
The NeoWs API is updated daily with the latest orbital calculations and close approach tracking data from JPL's Center for Near Earth Object Studies.
Does this API include data on historical asteroid impacts?
Yes, the API provides access to fireball and bolide data, which tracks bright atmospheric meteor events detected by government sensors, including historical records.
How does LlamaIndex connect to MCP servers?
Use the MCP client adapter to create a connection. LlamaIndex discovers all tools and wraps them as query engine tools compatible with any LlamaIndex agent.
Can I combine MCP tools with vector stores?
Yes. LlamaIndex agents can query NASA Asteroids — Near-Earth Objects & Planetary Defense tools and vector store indexes in the same turn, combining real-time and embedded data for grounded responses.
Does LlamaIndex support async MCP calls?
Yes. LlamaIndex's async agent framework supports concurrent MCP tool calls for high-throughput data processing pipelines.
