Look up airport IATA codes by city name, airport name, or partial code. Use this to find the correct airport code before calling search_flights or get_date_grid. Returns matching airports with their IATA code, full name, city, and country.
AI agents call find_airport_code to retrieve information from Pointsyeah without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a straightforward lookup/query operation that retrieves reference data about airports. It does not create, modify, delete, execute commands, or have financial implications. The sole purpose is to search and return existing airport information to support other flight-related operations.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Look up airport IATA codes' and 'Returns matching airports with their IATA code, full name, city, and country.' These are pure data retrieval operations with no side effects.

Register the Pointsyeah MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_airport_code: 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 Pointsyeah. Nothing to install.
find_airport_code 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 find_airport_code 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 find_airport_code. 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.
find_airport_code is provided by the Pointsyeah MCP server (slack-workspace-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
