Short answer

How can I use my AI to get NDVI or EVI data?

Your AI uses the EOSDA Agriculture MCP to request specific vegetation indices for your field boundaries. It triggers a processing task and then fetches the resulting data once the satellite analysis is complete.

Data outcomes

What your AI produces

The results of your satellite analysis requests.

DATA

Processed indices

The AI retrieves specific values like NDVI or EVI for your field coordinates. You get the numerical data or time-series results.

LIST

Available index types

Your agent checks which vegetation indices are supported for your region. This ensures you request valid data types.

STATUS

Task progress

The AI monitors the satellite processing job. It knows when the calculation is finished and when the data is ready.

HUMAN

Field boundary setup

You must provide the specific field boundaries or coordinates. The AI cannot guess where your farm is located.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI handles the communication with the satellite data provider.

  1. Identify indices

    The AI checks which vegetation indices are available to ensure the requested calculation is possible.

    get_available_indices

  2. Start processing

    The AI sends your field boundaries and the chosen index type to the satellite engine to begin the calculation.

    create_vegetation_task

  3. Monitor task

    The AI waits for the satellite processing to finish, checking the status of the job in the background.

    get_task_result

  4. Deliver data

    Once the task is complete, the AI pulls the final vegetation values and presents them to you.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI automatically find my fields?

    No. You need to provide the specific field boundaries or IDs for the AI to target.

  • 02

    Does the AI handle the satellite image downloading?

    Yes. The AI triggers the processing task which handles the data retrieval and calculation internally.

  • 03

    Can the AI change my field boundaries in the EOSDA platform?

    No. The AI can only read data and trigger tasks based on existing boundaries.

  • 04

    What happens if the task fails?

    The AI will report the error returned by the task result check so you know why the calculation didn't complete.

  • 05

    Can I request an index that isn't supported?

    No. You should first ask the AI to list available indices to ensure your request is valid.
