Current conditions lookup

OpenWeather returns current temperature, wind, and conditions for a location. A Beam agent requests conditions when a task depends on them, reads the values, and applies your rule for thresholds like heat, wind, or precipitation before updating a record or notifying the owner. Readings that come back missing, contradict a recent report, or cross a safety threshold are routed to a person for a judgment call rather than acted on automatically. The agent queries only within your account limits and permissions, so weather-driven steps run on real data while edge cases reach a human quickly.

Forecast retrieval

OpenWeather provides forecasts across upcoming hours and days for a given point. A Beam agent requests the forecast tied to a scheduled task, reads the relevant window, and applies your rule for what conditions should pause, proceed, or reschedule the work before updating the plan or alerting an owner. Forecasts that shift sharply, disagree between sources, or trip a defined threshold are escalated to a person. The agent operates inside account limits, so planning steps use current forecasts while calls with real operational or safety weight stay with someone accountable.

Historical weather records

OpenWeather can return past weather for a location and time, useful for checking what conditions actually occurred. A Beam agent requests the historical reading tied to a claim or event, reads the values, and applies your rule for tolerances before updating a record or confirming a status. Gaps in the data, readings that conflict with an on-site report, or requests outside the available range are handed to a person rather than assumed. The agent works within your account permissions, keeping historical checks grounded in retrieved data and leaving contested cases to human review.
