Directional shelter analysis of ONE precise anchorage: how protected it is from every compass direction, and how comfortable it will be over the next three days. Casts 1728 rays against a global elevation model plus OSM breakwaters and moles, giving per-direction wind protection and whether swell is blocked; then scores comfort hour by hour against the real forecast. Also returns depth (EMODnet bathymetry) and seabed nature. ⚠️ Use this on a SINGLE spot the user has in mind. It is the most expensive thing this server does — 18 topography calls against a public quota shared with the website — so it is capped per day, serialised, and de-duplicated. Do NOT call it repeatedly to sweep a coastline: call `find_known_anchorages` for that, or send the user to the app, which has a search built for it. A refusal here is a budget limit, not an error. Points already analysed come back from cache instantly and cost nothing.
