# find_connections

Multi-stop itineraries from an origin airport to either a destination airport or to any airport in a country. Returns airport paths with every airline flying each leg. Airline entries carry their alliance and, when service is not plain scheduled, a kind field (seasonal, charter or suspended). Suspended legs are included and flagged, not excluded; pass exclude_kinds to drop them. Seasonal and charter service carries no operating dates and there is no frequency or days-of-week data, so treat every match as unverified for specific travel dates. Provide exactly one of destination or to_country.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "find_connections",
    "arguments": {
      "origin": "<origin>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why find_connections is rated Low

Even though find_connections 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.

Risk signals: Accepts file system path (destination) · Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

## Use case

AI agents call find_connections 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Fly Where To?:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "find_connections": {}
  }
}
```
