WHAT IT DOES

What find_airport does on Fly Where To?

AI agents call find_airport to retrieve information from Fly Where To? without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	Yes	IATA code ("IST"), ICAO code ("LTFM") or part of an airport name ("istanbul")

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why find_airport is rated Low

Even though find_airport only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs find_airport safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Fly Where To?, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For find_airport, this is the rule to start with:

find_airport Allowed

find_airport is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "find_airport": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Fly Where To?, apply this rule, and every find_airport call is checked against it from then on.
