WHAT IT DOES

What db_ingest_faa_data does on Skyfly MCP Server

AI agents use db_ingest_faa_data to create or update resources in Skyfly MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Skyfly MCP Server environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why db_ingest_faa_data needs a policy

The name 'ingest' typically implies writing/loading data into a database or storage system. Given the server context (FAA aircraft registry + OpenSky data), this likely imports FAA registry data into the local database. This is a Write operation at minimum. However, with an empty description, confidence is low — it could also be Destructive (overwriting existing data) or Execute (triggering a data pipeline).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'db_ingest_faa_data' suggests ingesting/loading FAA data into a database. Description is empty, providing no additional context.
