Tide Times and Tide Tables MCP

Each tool targets a distinct need: station lookup, current tide state, date-based tide table, and filtered low-tide windows. The main overlap is between tide_times and low_tide_windows, which both surface low tide times, but the descriptions make the filtering/daylight distinction clear enough that misselection is unlikely.

All names are snake_case and share a 'tide' theme, but the convention is mixed: noun phrases (low_tide_windows, tide_times), an adverb form (tide_now), and a noun_noun_verb ordering (tide_stations_search). Readable, but no predictable verb_noun pattern an agent could extrapolate from.

Four tools is lean but well matched to a narrow, single-purpose domain — each tool covers a genuinely different query type. It sits at the lower edge of comfortable, but nothing feels redundant or missing for the stated scope.

The surface covers the full lifecycle of a tide query: resolve a location, get a tide table, check the current state, and screen for low-tide windows. Gaps are minor and documented (US coastal only, 31-day table limit, no high-tide-window equivalent), and agents can work around them via tide_times.
