## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, authoritative US weather alerts sourced directly from NWS/NOAA for a specific state. It is ideal for safety checks, travel planning, emergency monitoring, or any agent workflow that needs to know about active severe weather conditions in the US. Prefer this over general weather APIs when you specifically need official government-issued alerts rather than forecasts or current conditions.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized state code returns an error or empty result
- Non-US regions are not supported — only US states covered by NWS
- Payment failure via x402 results in no response being returned
- NWS/NOAA upstream outage may cause stale or missing data
- Full state names may or may not be accepted depending on normalization logic

## How this service works

48 live public-data tools (security, packages, SEC filings, economy, FX, weather, domains, Federal Register, Base) for AI agents. $0.002 USDC per call on Base via x402, charged only on success. The same tools are free for 100 calls/day via MCP at <server>.datakoot.com/mcp.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the queried state/area code, an array of active NWS/NOAA weather alerts (each describing the alert type, severity, and affected area), the total count of active alerts, and a source attribution string. If no alerts are active, the alerts array is empty and active_count is 0.
