WHAT IT DOES

What get_airport_delays does on Tanod

AI agents call get_airport_delays to retrieve information from Tanod 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
`airport`	object	—	Optional US airport: IATA (such as ORD) or ICAO (such as KORD). Omit it for every US airport with an active FAA event.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why get_airport_delays is rated Low

Even though get_airport_delays 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.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_airport_delays safely

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

get_airport_delays Allowed

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

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

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Tanod, apply this rule, and every get_airport_delays call is checked against it from then on.

Questions about get_airport_delays

What does the get_airport_delays tool do? +

skypeek: Airport delays: FAA ground stops, delay programs and closures at US airports right now. For airport data use lookup_airport.
