find_nearest_landmarks
Read-only
Locate the closest EVE Online landmarks from a specific solar system, providing sorted results with detailed descriptions and positions. Supports filtering by jump distance and result limit.
Instructions
Find the nearest EVE Online landmarks to a specified solar system. Returns landmarks sorted by distance with detailed information including descriptions and positions.
