# Nasa integration for LuumenAI

Query NASA's open data and metadata records, and restore revisions with approval

## What LuumenAI can do with Nasa

LuumenAI connects to Nasa with an API token and exposes 136 tools (130 read-only · 4 write · 2 destructive). Reads answer immediately; writes are shown as a plan and require approval by default, configurable per tool by an administrator.

## Key facts

- Authentication: API token
- Tools available: 136 tools (130 read-only · 4 write · 2 destructive)
- Plan: available on all plans
- Category: Source control & CI/CD

## About Nasa with LuumenAI

Connect NASA and your agent can pull from the public data catalog without leaving the terminal: near-Earth object records, AGAGE atmospheric data files, Astronomy Picture of the Day, and technical report citations from NTRS. Metadata repository changes, like restoring a citation or collection revision, run as previewed steps you approve first.

## Example tools

Read-only (130 in total):

- `NASA_BROWSE_NEO` — Browse the complete NASA near-Earth object (asteroid) dataset with pagination support.
- `NASA_DOWNLOAD_CITATION_DOCUMENT` — Downloads a document file from a NASA NTRS (NASA Technical Reports Server) citation.
- `NASA_GET_AGAGE_DATA` — Retrieve information about AGAGE (Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment) data files.
- `NASA_GET_AGAGE_DATA_BY_FILE_NAME` — Search for AGAGE (Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment) data files by file name.
- `NASA_GET_AGAGE_DATA_JSON_FOR_GRAPH` — Retrieve AGAGE atmospheric composition data in JSON format optimized for graphing.
- `NASA_GET_AGAGE_DATA_VERSIONS` — Retrieve information on all AGAGE (Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment) data versions.
- `NASA_GET_APOD` — Retrieves NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) for a specified date or today.
- `NASA_GET_CITATION` — Retrieve detailed citation information from NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) by citation ID.

Write and destructive (6 in total, approval required by default):

- `NASA_CREATE_GRAPH_REQUEST` — Create orbital and position graphs for NASA satellites using the Satellite Situation Center (SSC) web service.
- `NASA_DELETE_ASSOCIATION` — Delete an existing association between concepts in NASA's Common Metadata Repository.
- `NASA_DELETE_CMR_ACL` — Delete an Access Control List (ACL) from NASA's Common Metadata Repository.
- `NASA_RESTORE_CITATION_REVISION` — Restore a previous version of a citation record within NASA's Common Metadata Repository.
- `NASA_RESTORE_COLLECTION_REVISION` — Restore a collection to a previous revision in NASA's Common Metadata Repository.
- `NASA_RESTORE_VISUALIZATION_REVISION` — Restore a previous revision of a visualization in NASA's Common Metadata Repository.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does LuumenAI connect to Nasa?

Authorize once with API token. Luumen lists the scopes each action needs before you approve the connection, and credentials never appear in the chat.

### Can LuumenAI change things in Nasa on its own?

Read actions answer immediately. Anything that writes is shown as a plan and requires approval by default, including the 2 actions classified as destructive. Administrators configure that per tool.

### Is there an audit trail?

Every call to Nasa — read or write, approved or declined — is recorded with the actor, the input, and the result.
