AI agents call getFlightPlanById to retrieve information from SimBrief Flight Planning MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is purely a data retrieval operation. It takes a flight plan ID as input and returns comprehensive flight planning information (route, fuel planning, weather, NOTAMs, etc.) without any side effects. There is no indication the tool modifies, creates, deletes, or executes any operations. The output is informational data used for flight planning purposes.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves flight plan data by ID and returns information in markdown format. The description explicitly states it 'Get[s]' and 'Returns' data with no modification, creation, or deletion capabilities.
