List all official Swiss NABEL (Nationales Beobachtungsnetz für Luftfremdstoffe) air quality monitoring stations operated by BAFU/EMPA. Returns station codes, names, cantons, coordinates, and environment types.
AI agents call list_air_quality_stations to retrieve information from Mcp Swiss without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
