Find citizen science sensor stations (senseBox, openSenseMap network) near a lat/lon and return their latest readings — hyperlocal temperature, humidity, air pressure, PM2.5/PM10 air quality, illuminance, UV, noise. Answers “sensor readings near me”, “what does the local air quality sensor say”. Community-operated uncalibrated hardware: quality varies, so cross-check outliers. Filter to one measurement type with phenomenon (

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`latitude`	number	yes	Latitude of the search center, e.g. 52.52
`longitude`	number	yes	Longitude of the search center, e.g. 13.405
`radius_km`	number	no	Search radius in km, 0.1-50 (default 10)
`phenomenon`	string	no	Optional filter — only stations measuring this phenomenon. Common titles: “Temperatur”, “rel. Luftfeuchte”, “Luftdruck”, “PM2.5”, “PM10”, “Beleuchtungsstärke”, “UV-Intensität”, “Lautstärke” (matched case-insensitively as a substring)
`limit`	number	no	Max stations to return with full readings, 1-10 (default 5)
`include_stale`	boolean	no	Include stations whose last measurement is older than 7 days (default false)
