ListFireDetections
ListFireDetections retrieves satellite-detected active fires from NASA FIRMS. Empty fire_detections with fetched_at=0 or data_available=false means the seed snapshot is unavailable/degraded, not that there are confirmed zero fires.

Optional JMESPath expression applied server-side to project or reduce the JSON response before it is returned (mirrors the MCP jmespath argument). Invalid expressions, expressions larger than 1024 UTF-8 bytes, or projections that exceed the 256 KB output cap return HTTP 400 with a {_jmespath_error, original_keys} envelope. Grammar and worked examples: https://www.worldmonitor.app/docs/mcp-jmespath.
Response
Successful response
ListFireDetectionsResponse contains the list of fire detections matching the request filters.
PaginationResponse contains pagination metadata returned alongside list results.
Time the seed snapshot was fetched, as Unix epoch milliseconds. A value of 0 means the snapshot is unavailable/degraded, not that there are confirmed zero active fires.. Warning: Values > 2^53 may lose precision in JavaScript
True when fire_detections came from a seed snapshot. False means an empty payload is graceful degradation because the snapshot is unavailable.
