gfw_dataset

Pack: global-forest-watch · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/global-forest-watch/mcp

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/gfw_dataset for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Full detail for ONE Global Forest Watch dataset — metadata (source, citation, spatial resolution, geographic coverage, update frequency, cautions, licence) plus its version list. Pass a version (or “latest”) to also get that version’s status, assets and field/band list, which is what gfw_query needs to build a valid SQL statement. Keyless.

Parameters

NameTypeRequiredDescription
datasetstringyesDataset name from gfw_datasets, e.g. “umd_tree_cover_loss”.
versionstringnoOptional version, e.g. “latest” or “v1.13”. Omit for dataset-level metadata only.
