Fetch NOAA space weather data: current KP index (geomagnetic storm intensity), solar flux (F10.7), X-ray flare class, and active NOAA alerts for solar radiation storms and geomagnetic disturbances.
Use this tool when:
- An agent is assessing risks to satellite communication or GPS navigation accuracy
- A risk agent needs to know if HF radio communication is disrupted (affects aviation/shipping)
- You want to monitor for G3+ geomagnetic storms that can damage power grid infrastructure
- A research agent is correlating space weather events with financial market anomalies
Returns: kp_index (0-9, 5+ = storm), storm_level (G1-G5), solar_flux_f107, xray_class (A/B/C/M/X), active_alerts, aurora_visibility_latitude, satellite_drag_risk.
Example: getSpaceWeather({ alerts: true }) → KP 7.2 (G3 SEVERE storm), X1.2 flare detected — GPS degraded at high latitudes.
