    Matched text

    annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true}; The input takes a statement or command to run (input.code), which can change anything it can reach.

Returns checked sources and areas, unchecked areas, issued_at, retrieved_at, and current JMA typhoon/volcano bulletins (listed, not matched). No forecast. Retrying with the same payment is not charged; use receipt_id with get_receipt.

Returns JMA English and Japanese names, level, previous level and change, issue time, prefectures named in JMA bulletins, source URL and freshness receipt. Relay only; no forecast or interpretation. Gaps filled from JMA website lists (newer wins). No JMA source seen = not_seen_in_checked_feeds, never assumed level 1.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
