`list_recent`

Pack: tle · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/tle/mcp

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

List the newest satellites in the NORAD catalog, highest catalog number first. NORAD ids are assigned in roughly launch order, so this approximates most-recently-launched. Note this orders by catalog entry, not by TLE epoch — the upstream offers no epoch-date sort.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`limit`	number	no	Number of satellites to return. Defaults to 10.

Example call

Arguments

{
  "limit": 15

TypeScript (@pipeworx/sdk)

const result = await pipeworx.call('list_recent', {
  "limit": 15

Response shape

Always returns: total, satellites

Field	Type	Description
