Get the latest status of a flight using flight number
AI agents call get_flight_status to retrieve information from Simple MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only lookup of flight status information. It queries existing data and returns results with no side effects, modifications, or external operations triggered. The worst-case misuse would be information disclosure, which carries minimal severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_flight_status' and description 'Get the latest status of a flight using flight number' indicate a query operation that retrieves flight information without modifying, executing, or deleting data.
