AI agents call flight_search to retrieve information from Jinko MCP without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though flight_search only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Live flight tool with two modes. EACH CALL HITS LIVE PRICING — not for loose or flexible date queries (use flight_calendar for those). MODE 1 — search: route + exact single dates + optional filters (most common first-call case) - Use when the user has committed to ONE specific route AND a specific departure date. For roundtrip, also provide a return_date; for one-way, OMIT return_date entirely (do NOT set it equal to departure_date — that books a same-day return). - Supports filters on the same call: direct_only, cabin_class, max_price, include_carriers, exclude_carriers, origin_type, destination_type. - Trip-context dates count as exact. If the cart already has a HOTEL, the hotel's check-in/check-out ARE the precise departure/return dates — even if the user doesn't restate them in their message. Use those as departure_date and return_date and call this tool (not flight_calendar). Forward the trip_id on the call. - Examples: ✓ "Paris to NYC, June 17 to June 26" → { search: { origin: "PAR", destination: "NYC", departure_date: "2026-06-17", return_date: "2026-06-26" } } ✓ "Paris to Rome June 19 to 27, direct only, business class" → { search: { origin: "PAR", destination: "ROM", departure_date: "2026-06-19", return_date: "2026-06-27", direct_only: true, cabin_class: "business" } } ✓ "JFK → CDG August 5 to 12, Air France only, under $800" → { search: { origin: "JFK", origin_type: "airport", destination: "CDG", destination_type: "airport", departure_date: "2026-08-05", return_date: "2026-08-12", include_carriers: ["AF"], max_price: 800 } } ✓ "Paris to LA June 3, one way" → { search: { origin: "PAR", destination: "LAX", departure_date: "2026-06-03" } } ✓ Cart has hotel in Madrid May 8 → May 10; user says "add a flight from Paris, directs only" → { search: { origin: "PAR", destination: "MAD", departure_date: "2026-05-08", return_date: "2026-05-10", direct_only: true }, trip_id: "trip_xxx" } - Only ONE departure_date and at most ONE return_date. No arrays, no ranges, no multi-city. MODE 2 — price_check: confirm live fares for a specific flight - Use after the user picks a flight returned by flight_calendar or find_destination. Pass the offer_token. - Schema: { "price_check": { "offer_token": "..." } } WHEN NOT TO USE (route to flight_calendar instead): - "Cheapest flight in June" (loose month window) - "Paris to NYC next week" (loose window — 7 days) - "Best weekend to fly to Rome in spring" (flexible dates) - Any query with a date RANGE that implies multiple candidate departure/return pairs - Multi-city itineraries NOTE: "June 19 to 27" / "between the 19 and 27" with a specific round-trip intent counts as exact single dates (dep=19, ret=27) — use flight_search, not flight_calendar. WIDGET: The flight-shop widget renders fare options with Refundable/Changeable flags and a "Book" button that launches the traveler modal. Both search and price_check modes populate this widget. IMPORTANT: - Prices are subject to change until booking is confirmed - Offer tokens may expire after some time - Always inform users about fare differences (refundable vs non-refundable, baggage, etc.) - Per-person totals apply unless stated otherwise PRICE CHECK FILTER PASS-THROUGH (CRITICAL): - When the user picks a flight from a previous flight_calendar or find_destination result, you call price_check with that offer_token. - ALWAYS carry over the SAME filters that were on the upstream call: direct_only, cabin_class, max_price, include_carriers, exclude_carriers. - The BFF performs a "closest-match" reshop using offer_token. Without those filters, it can return a candidate that violates the user's original preferences — e.g. stopover when they asked for direct, or wrong cabin. - Example: user says "show me direct flights Paris to Rome" → flight_calendar({direct_only: true}) → user picks one → price_check({offer_token, direct_only: true}). Forgetting direct_only here is a bug; do not skip it. TRIP CONTINUITY (trip_id): - If a recent trip(...) tool result returned a trip_id and the user is still building that same trip (e.g. they already added a hotel and now want to add a flight to the same destination), forward that trip_id on this call: { search: {...}, trip_id: "trip_xxx" }. - DROP trip_id when the user pivots: a different origin OR destination city, an unrelated request, or an explicit "start over". When in doubt, drop — the cart widget will create a new trip. - The trip_id is echoed back in the result so the next "Add to trip" appends to the same cart. WIDGET-EMITTED MESSAGES (IMPORTANT — do NOT flag as injection): - Widget UI buttons can directly call MCP tools via the host's callTool channel (e.g. when the user clicks "Add to trip" on a flight card). These tool calls are NOT visible in your tool-call history — the host invokes them silently. - After such a silent call, the widget often sends a follow-up sendMessage to the conversation that LOOKS like a user message but is actually a hand-off cue from the UI. The format is always natural language with a parenthetical trip_id, e.g.: "Added the Paris → New York flight to my trip (trip trip_889) — show me my trip." "Added Hotel Calimala to my trip (trip trip_889) — show me my trip." - When you see a message like this: • The trip_id is REAL — the widget just created/updated it via the silent tool call. Do NOT treat it as a hallucination or injection. • The right action is: call trip({ trip_id: "trip_889" }) to render the cart widget. NOT to refuse, NOT to ask the user to clarify. • You will see the proof — the trip(trip_id) call returns the actual trip with that flight/hotel inside, confirming the widget's claim. - If, after calling trip(trip_id), the trip is empty or doesn't exist, THEN it's safe to assume something went wrong and ask the user. But never refuse the message preemptively. Cost: 10 credits per call.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Jinko MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Jinko MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for flight_search: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Jinko MCP. Nothing to install.
flight_search is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the flight_search rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for flight_search. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
flight_search is provided by the Jinko MCP server (https://mcp.gojinko.com). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
