Abstract: Seismology increasingly depends upon large data retrieval across multi-datacenter platforms. Yet, data procurement often demands domain expertise, user burden, and is difficult to reproduce. As archives continue to grow, translating scientific intent into structured workflows that operate across multiple repositories and produce high quality, AI ready data is becoming an increasingly urgent challenge. We present TREMORS (Text Referenced Event Mapping and Output Renderer for Seismographs), an agentic framework that uses large language model reasoning within a constrained execution graph to automate seismic data retrieval. TREMORS translates natural language queries into a structured intermediate schema, which drives execution through a constrained LangGraph workflow. Example workflows demonstrate support for both event-based and continuous waveform acquisition. The framework is designed to extend across heterogeneous multi-datacenter systems through a portable schema and modular workflow components. This work positions agentic workflows as the catalyst that will connect scientific intent with distributed seismic data systems, enabling a future of reproducible, data-driven inquiry while reducing the burden of routine acquisition tasks.
