Short answer

How can I get tide tables using my AI?

Give your agent a latitude and longitude or a specific location ID. It will fetch the tide schedules and water levels for that spot. You'll get a clear breakdown of high and low tide times.

Data outcomes

What you get from the API

The AI translates your request into specific ocean data.

SCHEDULES

Tide timing data

The AI pulls exact times for high and low tides. You get a clear timeline of water movements for your chosen location.

LEVELS

Water height readings

Your agent retrieves specific water level measurements. This helps you understand the depth at specific intervals.

COORDINATES

Location-based lookups

The AI maps your text descriptions or coordinates to specific tide data. It handles the translation from a place name to raw ocean data.

HUMAN

Manual verification

You decide if the tide data is safe for your specific maritime activity. The AI provides the numbers, but you make the final call.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your natural language and the QWeather ocean data.

  1. Identify location

    The AI parses your request to find the latitude, longitude, or location ID you mentioned.

    get_ocean_tide_data

  2. Fetch tide data

    The agent calls the API to pull the tide schedules and water levels for those coordinates.

    get_ocean_tide_data

  3. Format results

    The AI converts the raw API response into a readable list of times and heights.

    get_ocean_tide_data

  4. Deliver answer

    The agent presents the tide table directly in your chat interface.

    get_ocean_tide_data

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI predict future weather patterns?

    No. This tool only retrieves tide and water level data.

  • 02

    Can I ask for tide data using just a city name?

    Yes, the AI will attempt to resolve the city name to coordinates to get the data.

  • 03

    Can the AI change the tide levels in the database?

    No. The AI can only read data from the API; it cannot modify any external records.

  • 04

    Does the AI provide real-time wave height?

    No. The tool is specifically for tide schedules and water levels.

  • 05

    Can the AI book a boat based on these tides?

    No. The AI only provides the data. You must handle any bookings or physical actions yourself.
