List all land cover and land use collections.
AI agents call get_land_cover_collections to retrieve information from OpenLandMap MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only operation to discover and enumerate available land cover and land use datasets from the OpenLandMap STAC catalog. It has no capacity to modify, delete, or execute operations on the data, and presents minimal risk if misused by an AI agent—the worst outcome being irrelevant or redundant queries.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_land_cover_collections' and description 'List all land cover and land use collections' indicate a query/listing operation that retrieves and returns data without modification or side effects.
